  1. The water guages on all VW's a calibrated so they should sit bang in the middle most of the time.
  2. Yan or JMR are the experts on these.... Stealth alo build one a few years back - the Stealth Bomber I think it was...
  3. You can try and open the roof manually either with a screwdriver or allen key depending on age - just watch it drops down or it will scratch (if the mech is the reason it won't slide)
  4. Golf is different, check the system is working properly before replacing, ie thermostat opening, rad fan working and engine not running hot etc....
  5. Who is Alex? Yeah there must be some sort of short in the lambda wiring...
  6. No, not really Andy... the original ones are available as convex tho (as opposed to concave i think?) I don't know why they didn't do a blindspot split like the golfs tho...
  7. Yip... not great I know and very slightly different shape but quality is reflected in the price...
  8. As above rust is a problem but obviously easy to spot... Servicing is nice and cheap as it's basically a fiesta, the only downside of this is so is the dash! Racing Puma - simply awesome, really good all round performer with a tuned version of the 1.7, a little harsh for a daily driver but cornering is amazing... They should have made a 'Racing Corrado' as this is what we all seem to be aspiring to! If she can stretch the budget and fancies a bit of fun then go for the FRP, they are now getting to the 7k mark and I reckon they will hold the value well.
  9. :lol: No, really... Halfords ones are not heated tho... Try TVR for the real thing if you have a dealer near...
  10. Peanut butter is good and keeps them black... Also heard you get good results uning a clay bar on them also...
  11. No probs mate - maybe speak to audioscape, I think they quoted about £150 for an imob into my mates mk2
  12. Mate, they must have quoted for the wrong part as the G60 430mm rad is £149 + vat retail but will (good) discount you should be able to get for about £100 - try another dealer or give GPC a call Part number is 535121251B
  13. Now now boys :lol: Nothing wrong with competition but keep it friendly please :wink:
  14. Did you have new top mounts fitted?
  15. Hmmm - good tip - maybe just corrosion had built up enough resistance to make a difference?
  16. I know Billinjah runs without a tank with a filler on one of the pipes...
  17. I reckon it could be a loose connection in the slot mate, maybe one of the pins has dropped out?
  18. xpher, Yep, there are several in Germany, one in the netherlands and 2 in Ireland but I have the only English one afaik.... probably at least one in the US too... I've just sent you a large PM about mine and whats been done and how etc... Do you go to Warrick Uni BTW?
  19. Replace... cheap enough from VWSpares etc
  20. After seeing some GSF and ECP rads after a year or two I really would get one from the dealer - you pays an extra few quid, you get the plastic elbow, bolts and seal and it will last 5 times longer...
  21. The fan thermoswitch is only working at stage 2 if the water is getting to 110c in traffic...
