    No clutch

    have you tried engaging gear from under the hood? reason i ask is that before i sold my valver, which i now have brought back, it was standing in neutral for some time. i too then had an issue in selecting gear. my friend who was a VW mechanic showed me the gear selector on top of the gear box, applied lots of WD40 & let soak in, then as i held the clutch down he manually manipulated the selector. half hour of working it about & i had a nice gear change again
  5. hi Andi & Jim FYI my post earlier this week having tried to use panjo or they thought they had sorted it i tried to use it to buy & pay for an ABS ecu earlier this week & gave up the below was my post at the time..... "Oh my word this panjo cr4p is absoluteley awful!! First time trying to use it & never again 30 minutes trying to send a payment WTF!? Panjo says im outside of US & errors on post code sometimes it lets me through to payment but then says my paypal account doesnt have enough funds, despite it being linked to my bank account then when i try to pay by card the page initially loads a payment screen with option for card info but then switches to a 'create paypal account' page stonejag - ive PM'd you & im sorry but i cant get the payment to go through. i shall await your PM with info"

  7. interesting - mine is the drivers side i had read somewhere that someone had found it to be an issue with the connections into the window controller box IIRC the box is behind the rear passenger drivers side door card (which would correspond to where i can hear mine clicking) said person removed, cleaned & reseated the connections to the controller & issue was fixed if i can find a gap on a weekend when im not booked to work on the house it is a job on my list
  8. ha ha i like it wayne!! normally i just give one of these... ;)
  9. indeed! with my VR being lowered when these fancy chelsea tractors & their HID's are behind me they end up blinding me in all 3 mirrors
  10. ha ha ha they are addictive arent they lol
  11. no m8 they are just normal H4 bulbs think they are filled with xenon gas i do know that since fitting them i often get flashed by others coming towards me at night as if i was on full beam. sometimes i give them a taste of what full beam is if they are overzealous lol for example http://www.mecatechnic.com/COR_UA17014_GB_2-ring-xenon-ultima-h4-bulbs-vw-corrado.htm
  12. hi wayne i use ring xenon ultima in my VR with uprated loom & find them fantastic :D
  13. good luck m8 - see you in a few months
  14. thanks Jamie i will look into the body tape to put the gf's back on if i were to remove some again i would use your technique - its kinda like how ive seen windscreen people get bonded screens out - & agree the amount of caution using heat it extreme. that said it is easily possible if you take your time
  15. could you expand a little on the above pls Jamie? ive not heard of either
  16. excellent update thank you love the pics & the videos must prove very useful for you to assess yourself & the car great having the rear view in the corner too & that really showed the part your on about regarding braking zones & where the understeer kicks in oh how it makes me want a go tho lol
  17. right - im finishing the outhouse/workshop on sat but tomorrow is my bday so if i cant drag myself away from my new xbox one & GTA tomorrow i will sort pics & vids on sunday
  18. act with lots of care Jim!! use either a heat gun (even more care required) or a hair dryer to gently warm the strip & then ease it away from the body as the glue softens it is extremely easy to apply too much heat - which could obviously bubble paint work the adverse is very easy, in that not enough heat & the glue could take some paint with it i managed to get all of them off the blackberry ok until the last one & despite major care i still lifted a 5p size chunk of paint off im not sure what is best to stick them back on tho, anyone? ive tried super tacky double sided stuff on the gf's & that lasted a day or two :(
  19. yes chuggs, very happy indeed!! if i hadnt been ill all last week & then busy turning my outhouse into a workshop the weekend prior i would have taken the videos ive mentioned i must do it though as i want to share.....the noise on engine fire up, how it sounds as you progress up the revs (hopefully this will show the way the sound moves from the back end of the car to the front as the exhaust quietens & the BMC/engine sound takes over) & also the lovely burbles im getting on down shifts :D plus i need to get the autosol on it as its filthy already lol
  20. no wayne not really think he means if lots of oil in throttle body then it could be that which is at fault, or something in that area, whereas is not much in the TB then it could be pointing to your valve stem seals leaking personally i would check the TB as sean says but also top up your oil & then monitor the usage daily & record how many miles its done in the testing period. also, are you sure it is blue tint smoke? is there any feel of oil in the smoke or residue on the exhaust exit? i found that my old CAT used to billow white smoke until it got rid of the excess moisture it was holding due to age. so much so stealth said it looked like a turbo'd car where the turbo had failed lol having had the longlife exhaust system with sport CAT installed i barely get any smoke at all now
  21. Oh my word this panjo cr4p is absoluteley awful!! First time trying to use it & never again 30 minutes trying to send a payment WTF!?
