Still here in a nice heated garage, a bit dusty but daily duties taken over by the mk1 golf and an e46 m3.

Been a while since this was updated but long story short apart from a radiator and a new thermostat it's needed nothing to be replaced after 15k, even manage to average 38mpg from London to Coventry (according to the MFA anyways lol). Gave the bay a quick clean after fitting the new radiator, still comes up pretty nice imo. Before After Next on the list is the paintwork, rear O/S has been blown over in the past and is closer to a mystic blue rather then moonlight blue (You can make this out below), plus there is some minor rust under the spoiler and edges of the doors so might as well get that all sorted. Will get some more pics up soon!

DDI site say that glue is required for their ones as well iirc. Pretty happy with these ones though, add a nice touch to the instrumentation :thumbleft:

Nice one fellas cheers!

Hey chaps, had the 'rado for nearly two years now but i've yet too see another with these polished trims around the dash clocks? I presume they are aftermarket? If so can anyone shed some light on them as a friend of mine wanted some for his VR aswell. Cheers :)

Hey guys, need a 4 pin MAF sensor for a VR6. Don't need the plastic housing, just the actual sensor. Must be in known working condition Payment via paypal, can collect from north london if you are nearby to postcode N13. Thanks!

Hi guys, got a set of 2 new MiM Platin 5 spoke wheels (one piece fake splits, with removable bolts). 15" dia. and 7J wide, with a nice dish! The wheels appear new but have been stored for some years, you can see on the dish there is very slight bubbling under the lacquer but it really is very minor, once fitted I doubt it would even be noticed. As you can see, one wheel is black, one silver, if required I could paint the wheels for additional cost. The black wheel is missing one bolt. Comes with the Platin centre caps. Picture above shows a test fit on a mk2 golf. 4x100 stud pattern with 57.1mm centre. Cash on collection from Palmers Green N13, looking for £110 for the pair, might swap for other parts, try me!

M reg flash red VR6 @ palmers green hedge lane today around 2:15, you waved but i didnt get the chance to wave back!

Hey guys, as per title really, Off side Inpro angel eye headlight. Has been "Joey modded" at some point so the non reflective surfaces are painted black, useful spare for someone? glass is not cracked, all tabs appear to be there. Make me an offer :) (trying to upload pics but photobucket is being a pain.

16 pin OBD2 connector, can cover north london :)

Just went for its MOT, CO level was hitting 8%, so ECU will be out this weekend and do some continuity checks on the wiring to see what the problem is.

K reg 'Rado in traffic near Winchmore Hill, dark blue. Was in a moonlight blue VR. Oh and grim nice to see you active, take it whilst MSUK is down we don't have much to do ahaha

yeah drivers side, only puffs very occasionally though.

ah right i see, the thing is i get the occasional puff of smoke from the front rhs of the car aswell, which i hope is not the fuel vapour smoking.....
