  1. I have recently purchased one through ebay from a company called unit3tuning, you can even make an offer which i did! and got it a tenner cheaper which covered the postage,quality is good to.


  2. i have recently got one from halfords, it's not the same as the original but it fitted in to arm rest perfectly, i found it in the camping section as i was wondering around the store, it's not the same colour or in a hard box but it fits in to the arm rest and doens't fall out when it lifted!!


  3. i have already done the wishbones luckily i had no problem with tight bolts they came undone with some ease thankfully, but thanks for the advice.

    i would put this up in the members gallery but i haven't a clue how to! lol

    I do have another engine cover to play around with but i was thinking of trying to keep it the original colour some how!? not going to bother painting the cam cover as the head is coming of this winter to have an overhaul and be polished, was thinking porting as well but to much grief! and to finish it of a nicely polished cam cover to finish it all off ready for next year when i will bring her out to play for another 6 months.


  4. it's been a while since i have added to this thread but there has been a few things done to my cherished money pit!!

    As said in part 2 i have now put on a polished manifold, which i have colour coded in between each intake pipe to match the cars colour and quite impressed with the out come even if i do say so myself lol!

    The other project that i undertook and have completed was a complete lower arm rebuild with cleaned and painted wishbones, new poly bushes, lower ball joints, tie bars and track rod ends,

    i still have more work to do with a full brake disc change, brake hoses to be replaced with a full brake fluid change and all abs sensors replaced along with a front end respray and knowing me probably more things as i think of them!!


  5. I thought it was time to change the rear lights as i wasn't happy with the standard lights, i really didn't think they suited the car!!

    So after trawling alot of magazines i finally found the ones i wanted! and they are now fitted, smoked crystal rear light clusters and side repeaters,

    she is slowly getting there, i am hoping to put a polished inlet manifold on tomorrow,


  6. Thought i would share with you all my little projects as i get through the long list!!

    Today i fitted a de'cat pipe, wasn't the esaiest of jobs to do with the siezed and rounded nuts!! but with gentle persuasion, power tools and lots of swearing!! i finally got there, i am pleased with finished job and even more pleased with differnce in tail note with out having to do a system swap!


  7. Went to go collect a few parts for the old girl today from a car parts supplier who was recommended by my local garage as they didn't have the bit's i needed,

    All was good as i rocked with the old girl burbling away as she was nice and warm from the thrash down there!! went inside to ask for the bit's when the lad behind the desk said to me are they for that mk3 sirroco that you have just turned up in!!! trying not to be rude as i didn't want the price of the bit's to increase!! i gave him a quick education and told him that if they got the sirroco right the first time they wouldn't had to make a new version to get right! with that he said fare comment and nice motor by the way, so all in all a good lesson taught.


  8. M reg Blackbery VR6 on the richmond road, kingdton-upon thames 10am today, was looking clean and hunkered down, i was in the white fiat van pointing!!

    Was trying explain what a corrado looked like and then there one was, got the thumbs up from a very fusy woman!!!!


  9. I won't touch them with a barge pole, after i had a policy with them,

    Had a little knock in someone else's car and when i phoned the insurance company that knotts said i was with, they tured round and told me i wasn't covered even though i had told knotts that i needed cover to drive other people's cars, so i was paying for fully comp insurance but wasn't covered to drive other peoples cars because the advisor didn't tell me i needed to be 25 or over, when i challenged the knotts company i got right through to the manager who is a round about way said i was lying that asked for cover to drive other peoples cars,

    So what i am saying is be careful with what they say you are covered for!!!!

     

    Sorry for the rant but i thought you guys should no!!
