Guest Posted March 24, 2006 More of a 'what I did yesterday' really. Spent 9 hours at Stealth having rear axel bushes & front suspension top mounts done. Drive home was awsome (where there was no traffic). Thankfully I am on holiday today too and am about to drive to Portsmouth. can't wait :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil K 0 Posted March 24, 2006 Yesterday I spent 3 hours cleaning it and got a quote for my minor body work 'adjustments' and repair... will be saving beer money for a few months I think :lol: And had a the first proper drive of it in near on 3 years - I'd forgotten how good it feels to be approaching a ton by the end of a slip road :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 1 Posted March 24, 2006 Not what I did myself but took the TDI in to Stealth for the biggie - the 120k service which is a major service PLUS cambelt PLUS waterpump change.. also had the auxiliary belt changed and the gearbox oil changed. Had it confirmed that my alternator is actually seriously on its way out and that the awful blowing that has developed on my car in the past few days is actually down to the cat having rusted away where it joins the mid section of the exhaust! So basically new downpipe and cat required as they come as one unit. On the plus side, despite the noise from the exhaust, the car feels SO much better for its service. Pickup from the turbo is so much smoother and really low down the rev range, gear change is nice and slick again, and it just feels like a much happier car - and i'm a happier owner! Just need to find what I spent today all over again for the alternator/exhaust and the labour :( Boo :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted March 24, 2006 These Golfs sound like expensive business Jim, time to get a more affordable car...hmm like maybe a Corrado ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billinjah 0 Posted March 25, 2006 bits you can easily get off the bay though jim. mine was more of the same today,, man my back hurts! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted March 25, 2006 Well downpipe i'm gonna have to buy but got my eye on an alternator on eBay - only prob is its collection only from Rotherham! Bit of a trek but if it saves me £100+ then its worth it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Storm77 0 Posted March 25, 2006 Took my Solitudes off to be refurbed and replaced them with these mint wheels (from a golf VR) which I got from rocco-jocco. They'll only be on the car for a month or so but think they look pretty good for 15's! What d'ya reckon? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy665 0 Posted March 25, 2006 Paid for my HIDs for the In Pro's and got the Milltek fitted to the Bora, absolutely awesome exhaust note now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JMC 0 Posted March 25, 2006 Finally got my electric mirrors to work properly (ever since putting in the late interior, pressing up sent them down, and left sent them right). Solved it by taking the mirror off and swapping round the feeds to the motor.... That one has been bugging me for ages. Also started on a set of tweeter builds, and fixed a scuffed alloy as well - good productive day... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leavon 0 Posted March 25, 2006 Decided today was the day to fix my heated passenger seat, which has never worked since I've owned the car. I was fully prepared to do the full strip down to fix a broken element, however I was robbed of a job when upon unplugging the seat I found that someone had jammed the plug in the wrong way round, I flipped it round and now passengers too can enjoy the feeling of a sizzly bottom :lol: Oh I also fitted my new DDI door sills, mmmmm, shiney.

gradeAfailure 0 Posted March 27, 2006 and grill was that from kicking it?! :lol: nope, from levering out of the way so I could get a wire coathanger hooked around the bonnet catch to release it... ;) bloody awkward i tell thee... not today, but last week decided to replace the cabin air intake seal, and hey presto! - no puddles in the footwell when it rains!
