    we stock quite a bit of the Thule range (A1 Motorstores), and according to our rep, turning up so the ski slopes with a Thule is like turning upto a dinner-dance in a posh tux with a rolex on :D - i still havent got one yet cause i got nowt to carry but hey ho, they aint the cheapest but they are one of the best :)
  4. blue is remote wire for amps, black is earth. red - perma/switched live yellow - perma/switched live black - earth orange - illumination blue - remote *edit* what looks like pink will prolly be mute for a mobile phone doofer :) is that all thats on it?

  7. is it yours? how havent you seen it for 2 years?? is it ina garageor something, i think you should bring it back to life, looks like it could be a right mission and a sweet car once back on the road.! My Vote FIX IT!
  8. Washed my car today and dried it off. just thopught ah ill change my headlight bulbs while ive got chance and a mate of mine pulled up next to me in his van, another van came down the street and pulled into the space behind my car, my mate wouldnt of got past so he pulled back down the street and drove into a space. i carried on change my headlight bulbs and smack!. thats not the right noise, looked up to see the bloke waving as if to say sorry, i went over and had a look and he said is there any damage. i said not that i can tell but i wanna take your details anyway. The bloke said F**k that you can f**k off and did one, at this moment i continued to create a nice dint in the side of his van. Phoned police (give this happened at 2pm this aft) and am still awaiting a phone call from them Lucky there is little damage to the car, from what i can see a little scratch and perhaps pushed the read bumper forward, but WTF what a nob. i got full reg and from what i can gather he has a shop at the top of the street. my mate said he leaves his m/bike outside his house on a night so if nothing comes of it it might end up on its side :D! i was well fuming! /rant over
  9. the tadge it in yourself ones are nice looking from the pics, might have to get one of those instead lol
  10. ill second that, he could sell a few on here! quite easily:) plug and pray for me :D
  11. Tomtom 920 is the newest unit. alongside the 520/720 ace piece of kit! highly recommended :)
  12. i know i know, use the search, well i did and i cant find anyone that has posted a diagram of the uprated wiring loom for normans to use! there is the one in the wiki but i looked at it and got confused by it, has anyone got a dummies diagram to making an uprated wiring loom and what items are needed to do so! Thank you please!
  13. have you had a car that catches?, its the most cringe worth and annoying noise ever! ive had 2 cars that have done it, i changed from 15's that caught when lowered on a clio, to 17'2 then to 16's and they all caught, still makes me cringe now lol then i had 17's on the bravo, put 18's on and it caught, got the arches sorted and it solved it but its still the most annoying thing ever! lol i personally wouldnt go bigger than 17 on a C, think it might start to have the matchbox car look about it
  14. i kno they aint mint but try get hold of one of the splx ones, chrome covered and to be a fair a good amp for the money! the company who made them has discontinued them so no chance of getting brand new unless someone has any stock left over!. try you local A1 motorstore because we had em in stock and the supplier were a company who supplied all stores :)
  15. but what if u loose your keys now, you have just fitted a steering lock thats near impossible to get off :D lol
  16. i agree on the black centres, look much nicer imo, the top pic looks nice but the second one.. ooooooooo :D
  17. i thought they did aswell! , i think that they must of made a new design and this is em! lol
  18. looks well nice, love the engine :D lol is it the 225 engine or the 150/180? which engine is the most popular one that people go for? didnt the early mk4 golfs have the 150 then hen the tt and cupras had the 225 lump? correct me if im wrong
  19. looks good that mate, really nice condition are those toyo R888's i see peeking out from under the arch there? looking similar if they aint! lol
  20. Nothing much happened since i got her! xmas an all. Got my stereo put in and one of the subs just need to wire up the other speakers and such. Got my headlamp protectors on and have managed to crack one of em :? so i guess that shows they work lol! and ordered my wheels on the 3rd of january! i ordered the keskin KT1's and then 3 weeks later the company told me they couldnt get any for a month or so :( - tried loads of places just wasnt happening so i changed my mind and ordered the Schmidt Modernline (only single piece i kno but i didnt have an extra £600 for 3 piece or i would! lol) and they arrived Today! 2 weeks after placing the order they turned up at work they look well nice, i got 9x16 for the rear and 7.5x16 for the front, i expected them to be alot deeper than they actually were but there still nice :D, got 215/40/16 tyres on the rear and 195/45/16 on the front all falcons!. went to have a look at fittings and they have sent me 12x1.5 bolts instead of 14x1.5 which is what the vr6 needs lol. so gotta wait a week till new bolts come from germany! (i didnt have any in at work) and aswell it gives me some more time to save for coilovers! :D Thanx for looking! will get more pics up asap :)
  21. taking off the belt will stop the pump moving to make the power steering. if you turn the wheel you are in theory forcing pressure through the pump. i would of thought this wouldnt do the pump any good but dunno if it will do major damage. if its only for a couple of mins while you check something then i doubt it will do any damage but a prolonged amount of time will prolly knacker it. you can take off the power steering but ou will need alot of new bits to do it.
  22. what part number BMC have you guys got? i phoned up the other day but they dont have a specific fit kit for the corrado, did you just use the one for the golf vr6 or a different one. i kno they are universal just wondering which part number of filter you used :)
  23. just a though, i changed the battery the night before because the other one was flat and had been flat up a week? could the ecu have reset and just been majourly confused.
  24. started it up last night from cold, all fine, got it warm, turned it off, fired it up again, absolutly fine. wonder what it can be to be intermittant? MAF??? possibly can this be intermittant?
  25. only started doing this tonight so im annoyed now after replacing the mysterious flat battery (new battery of a month ago). the car started and ran fine, drove about 20 miles, engine nicely warmed up etc etc, turned car off to go into morrisons, came back to it after maybe 20 mins so engine is just cooling down and started it fine, went to set off, and its pulling at like 500rpm even with accel down it only goes upto 1k. juddering all over then cuts out, started it up again and same again lights are flicking on (cause the engine is pretty much not turning over) so i dipped the clutch and revved it, and it fixed it. now its done this 3 times tonight, havent had chance to let it run totally cold so dunno if it will do it from freezing, but from warm it dont wanna run. Any ideas people??? - btw i had a search but couldnt find anything relating to it but if someone does then shoot me down! :) Cheers!
