    You think you've got problems, every time I open mine the cat comes in. At least she has good taste I suppose!

     

    Is that a bengal? Lovely puss that.

    Yes indeed she is, truly amazing, stunning cat. She got in the glovebox when I was taking the dashboard out. She likes to run off with screws/bolts and hide screwdrivers etc!

    After having spent over a grand on mine in the last six months on a full suspension and brake refurb/upgrade, pulled the dash out and did the heater matrix, de-rattled everything, removed alarm etc. Thought all was good, then headlight bulbs blowing every 5 mins so just replaced the alternator (problematic, but another story). Then oil temp sensor failed, ignition switch failed, its just started holding back on power.....I can feel the door handle getting worse everytime I open it... On top of that my other halfs corrado needed a new wiper motor and ignition switch in the last 10 days, its never ending! Mega money, mega time spent fixing things, but when they're good, they're really good!

    I know quite a few people who go for 3 days every year and still claim not to see everything! I normally go for a day, a very long day admittedly and can see everything I want to. I would quite happily go for the whole three days but it so expensive. Not sure about where to stay as I only Iive 20 mins away, Poole is a fair stretch as you say. Easy an hour and a half each way.

    @ Andy: I have not bought the other one mate - pics would be grand. cheers.

     

    Its an awful picture, but you get the idea. The Carbon effect one has a stuck main button, I think it still works but it doesn't click. The wood effect one is perfect and has hardly been used. Any good?

    Help! :(

     

    My key just stuck in the ignition when I arrived at work. I can turn it a little bit, enough for fans etc to work (pos 1) but thats it. I can't turn it back enough to get it out.

     

    I've sprayed a load of wd40 on it in a hope it is a sticky mech again, any one got any other ideas?

     

    Cheers,

    Its not the steering lock is it, waggle the steering (take the weight off the steering) and try again.

    I always use a punch and hammer to drive the old ones out, there's a little lip inside the disc you can get the punch onto. Suitable sized socket and hammer to drive the new ones in. Remember not to overtighten them. You do them hand tight, a bit more to settle them, then back of the nut until you can move the washer with a screwdriver. There's loads more info on here. Readjust in a few hundred miles.

    They looked like the standard 1.9 pepperpots to me, but maybe they were "enhanced" ...?

     

    I was thinking more, stiffer springs, polybushed or something. Mine was stock, I had the rear beam rebuilt admittedly but it was brilliant, light and nimble, never harsh.

    I drove a non-power assisted 1.9 GTi once. Lots of fun, very very much like driving a go-kart, essentially. From a practical stand-point it was rubbish though. Noisy, small, bumpy as hell, those big wheels in those little arches meant the steering turn angle was very restricted - getting into a lot of parking spaces was a three point turn and brought out many a red face from over extertion ..

    It must have been a modified one Dr. I had a non assisited 1.9 for 6 years and it rode like a dream. The suspension was amazing, it used to float over road imperfections and had the feel of a much bigger car. I used to drive 60 miles of back roads a day and it was brilliant, I never even considered ride quality untill I swapped to a VW.

    Hell yes they were noisy though, like a tin can! I gave a colleague a lift home once, he hated it..said to me "do you really put up with this everyday?" I always found them practical for carrying things, I regularly had 2 mountain bikes and camping gear in the back, or more famously a cement mixer and a wheelbarrow!

    I hadn't noticed this from Page 9, I am Andy on that list.

     

    I assume you still have spare (allocated to those who have paid) calendars and that they haven't all been sold on ebay. I will PM you my address, why on earth it wasn't visible from Paypal is a mystery to me. I would have been grateful for a PM from you about this.

     

    Obviously I know you haven't sent it, you haven't got my address. I very much look forward to hearing from you about this. You have PM.

    i bought one of these calenders of ebay a month ago and mine has not turned up and i have just reported the seller to ebay has he has not bothered to contact me. I think Corrado16v18 is the same guy i bought my calender off from ebay as i sent this corrado16v18 a message through the forum asking if he was the seller of ebay and no reply from him. Something dodgy about this

     

    He's definately the same person.

    The seller is the same user name methdesignz... as we paid on here. Its clearly the same calendar.
