  1. Thats tidy! I like the fact the owner still listens to tapes!!
  2. Cheers but don't want to drill into the car! Looks brilliant what your doing, cars going to be a minter when your done. What wall thickness is the kunifer pipe please?
  3. THe locating pins you made, are there some threaded holes on the car already? Did you want to sell me them when you have finished????
  4. It was a momo gear knob. Not very comfortable to use so sold it a while back.
  5. Well, went to my local cycle shop today to check out the Giant but it had sold. Was looking at another Giant and then noticed they had some Felt bikes in. Was looking at 29in wheel mountain bikes but they just didnt look right, plus they didnt have nobbly tyres so for muddy terain he said I could do with different tyres and change according to where i was riding! Anyway, tried the giant but it didnt feel right, had a go on the Felt and ended up buying it. So I now have a Felt Q620. If anyone can check the spec and see if its any good I'd appreciate it.
  6. I wanted one from being 19 (17 years ago) after seeing by mates neighbours Classic Green Storm. The shape is just fantastic and look equaly as good standard or lowered on a nice set of Wheels! Even though I have my VR, I still make a special trip every so often to go past the same classic green storm to check he still has it! (I may buy that one day)
  7. I'm selling my Momo Club 4 steering wheel as I have gone back to the original one. Its in perfect condition. Here it is fitted: £100 including the Boss.
  8. Might go look at a Giant Talon 2 2011 model, Reduced from £750 to £579. Anyone know if this is any good for the money please? Are giant's good bikes?
  9. Mine has an early Alpine cassette player and CD changer but I still have the original Sony Cassette player - XR-C210MK2 and CD changer. Going to sell if anyone is interested so I can get a single CD head unit from the correct age.
  10. I'd hate to be that window fitter! The responsibility in his hands is unreal.

    Aaaaaahhh ABS!!

    Mine was on as soon as i switched the ignition on, didnt even flicker. The occasional time it did go out, it would come while driving and not even braking. Still off this morning on my way to work!!! Make sure you do both connectors, one on thr front and one on the end which was tricky to get to.

    Just a quick one which turned my light off, I unplugged the leads to the pump (2 of them??) sprayed them well with WD40 and kept plugging and un-plugging them. My light is now off - I'll see how it is tomorrow but fingers crossed it may be a dodgy connection to the pump. Might be worth a try???

    Car Wax?

    Collonite 915 for me over the top of Dodo Lime prime. Shameless excuse for a picture of mine: Collonite can also be put over black trim and shines it nice, did my grille with it today.
  14. Does anyone know if you can still buy a windscreen washer bottle from VW? Mine seems to be leaking! I'm going to ring tomorrow, but just wondered.
  15. Might do, depends if I get roped into family stuff now.
  16. Had the day off today to get the car cleaned ready for Stanford Hall - Ha!! Anyway, thought I would take the battery off and clean the engine bay a bit. Cant believe how much dirt builds up here. Before: And After: Much improved but still some underseal stuff to get off, might have to remove the headlight. Whats best to remove the underseal?
  17. Bugger, I cant do the 1st July. Swimming Gala on that day. Really wanted to go to this show aswell, been giving the corrado a big clean today ready for Sunday then saw the message.
  18. Cheers Judith, found the clips on page 22!! mine I think are the more yellow coloured ones in the picture. Will bring a broken one on Sunday.
  19. Clearing out of one of our factory's today so couldn't miss an opportunity for a few pictures... Really struggle to get good pics of the car.
  20. Thanks to Dave (Swiftkid) who managed to get my VAGCOM working tonight. We scanned the car and got the following: 00273 ABS INLET VALVE; RIGHT REAR (N133) 35-00 - - Anyone had this before? wondering if my pump is knackered? The light has been on for ages, I disconnected all plugs to the pump and WD40'd it tonight and 'hey presto' light goes out. Lasted about 10 mins and its back on again. Need to get this sorted cos its MOT next month.
  21. Does anyone understand the engine cleaning thing Edd did and would it make any difference???? Wonder if its worth doing?
  22. Brilliant thanks, you can still get them but only direct from Italy, I've had a price for the backbox and centre section and its about £500 78k is low mileage, did you get the chains done because you bought cams or the other way round?
  23. Definately need to get the three of them together for pictures, let me get my exhaust first (hopefully for VW festival), we'd be the corrado version of the italian job...
  24. I think your right on the colours, shame you cant make Stanford as you can park it next to mine... Do the Supersprints sound nice?? What mileage is on yours?
