winner!!!

yeee haarrr! thats the puppy! i go the long way most time the sun is out & the roads are dry, 20 miles to my local corner shop i will have you know ;) pmsl how were your oil & water temps m8? handle can be sorted & hopefully the gearbox oil refresh will help the crunch - have you fitted the short shifter yet? i found that took away much of the sloppyness in gear stick feel & stopped my occassional 2nd to 2rd crunch when booting it PS did you know there is a programmable intermittent wiper function? ;)

nice wayne mmmm they do look good in white!! a big reason i brought my valver back :D have you driven it yet? whats the verdict?

yeah i suppose, good point jim. my valver is on a 3k classic policy but with zero NCB, as that is used on the VR, & it was only about £180 ish it just sounded odd that someone much younger than me, with less NCB would pay so much less on the VR hey ho its done for another year now so not to worry this is also due for renewal very soon so lets see how much my 1 yr NCB helps

now im questioning my renewal with flux a couple of weeks ago 38, 12 yrs NCB, no claims, no points, all mods declared £385 which now comparing to other on this thread seem way too high

nor me Jim when i moved house last year the new postcode area had traditionally always been regarded as 'less risk' then the previous when i called flux & then HIC to change my details for each rado one place said there would be a slight discount due to the new postcode & the other a slight increase as it was a higher risk WTF!! plus - they, the insurer, will ALWAYS do whatever they can to not pay out a crazy example of such, & has to be one of the most insanely stupid i have ever read......is a woman was hit head on by a car in which the driver had fallen asleep. it totalled her car, obviously, & injured her. IIRC the co-op insurer was trying to play the ultimate T's & C's horsehit such that he were refusing to pay out because the 'driver can not be held responsible for their actions as they were asleep at the time' forgive me but surely that is driving without due course & attention & the person should be prosecuted - quite how the insurer could say that i have no idea. it is wrong morally & ethically plus years ago peoples insurance premiums would normally decrease year on year due to the accumulated NCB - however all i ever hear now when it is renewal time is that premiums have gone up yet again for one bull**** reason or other excuse sorry for the rant

good plan im gona have to sign in from home this evening just to read your thoughts after collection lol & yes a stress ball, you dont want to be doing anything silly when you have only just got it back & in the driving seat

im sure he will think of some suitable stress relief once he has paid up & is finally driving it ;)

some wheel swapping round for you soon then sean ;) i had to double take & recheck a few times when putting all 4 BBS's on the valver & ended laying them by each corner prior to fitting lol

pants!! my apologies stonejag - just had a bill come in & its wiped out my funds sorry i cant take this now & i have removed my original reply

today is the day then wayne - i bet you cant wait till lunch time ;) lol

why not m8 people always need different things no matter how big or small

ooo ive not seen that page for a while, pity about the pixels tho

holy mary that is truly awful!! i cant imagine your anger & dismay really hope you manage to sort it out, best of luck

no probs m8 if you need it just let me know & i can post it to you

ahhh - you really need one of the removal tools m8 also, you're likely to need a spark plug socket, the ones with the rubber type lining to hold the plug in there, & a long extension bar as the plugs sit really quite deep i have one which i could post you out to borrow but i doubt it would arrive in time for sunday i hope its VAG-hag to the rescue ;) lol

ive said it before & i will say it again..... winner winner chicken dinner :D pleased you got the result you wanted Rog & a discount to boot!

if you are changing your spark plugs have you got the specific tool to remove & refit the HT leads as it will be very tricky without?

lol

booo hoo hooo i want your brakes! :(

thanks for the offer graphite & also for the picture i have however stumped up for a new one. fortunately i work for the parts alliance & have been able to get it much much cheaper than vw heritage advertised price for example

da dee da dah!!! (in my best typing trumpet sound)

fingers crossed for you for a positive result

good info thanks Ian
