ha ha that nearly made me spit my tea out when I read that lol

Nice to see this thread still live.....& even better to see the forecourt prices are finally reflecting what is going on, even if it has taken them a while to react. without getting too involved, no matter what industry you are in if you are employed there is a responsibility upon yourself to make appropriate plans for the event of being out of work, businesses need to do the same I was at GKN when the automotive industry crashed and was caught up in the many many thousands who were made redundant at that time, my mom too. it was only because I had planned for such an event & had redundancy cover & a little savings that I was able to cope with the fallout. (I also chose to use the redundancy money I got to buy the VR6 I had always wanted ;) - silver lining & all that lol) similarly, with my dad being a plumber, I know that traditional trades such as builders, electricians, plumbers etc have to make plans & allowances for their 'slow periods' IE Christmas or even days that are rained off as 'no work, no pay' in those jobs thus IMO these companies should quit their moaning & cope with the thought they might make millions rather than billions this year mic_VR to answer your location question im only a couple of miles from the petrol station shown in the news yesterday with the 99.7p per litre price & today for the 1st time in a long time I actually had a spirited drive to work as my petrol gauge was more favourable than in many many years oh, & worth a mention that when I first brought my VR Tesco super unleaded was 99.9p per litre - fingers crossed VPower gets that low again lol

yay another returns :)

I have a VT front engine mount but it was fitted by stealth so im unsure of how it goes into place. I went for the front mount only as VT due to reading that using VT all round can create too much cabin vibration FYI I used OEM for the rear engine mount & gearbox mounts im sure vince could clear your question up with a quick phone call or maybe Kev Bacon could help you - he has loads of knowledge about engine & gearbox mounts etc

holy hail Mary's!! 350 euro WTF!!!

ha ha id been waiting for your superb input Kev lol

indeed it is Jim - people are drooling over it I like the post that says 'Shed of the year in the second week of Jan?' lol

If you look for annavr6 on here, I think, she works for VW Heritage & will source the correct items from classic part DE for you. she very kindly helped me avoid a massive shipping charge, around 100 euros IIRC, & got me an outer sill repair panel from them. the price of the part was such that Heritage actually gave me free delivery!! anna was brilliant throughout & all I had to do was give her the classic parts part number & then phone the number she supplied & give my address & payment details I couldn't recommend the company & anna herself any higher

sorry to hear that Rog - hope its ok in the end

ouch!!

tidy! thanks david :)

thanks [email protected] :)

hi andy im interested in these if the condition is right, do you have any pictures please? thanks

no probs jim - just thought id ask as the kris guide still has quite a few pics missing, though there are more than there used to be

Jim - did you manage to publish the pdf on the wiki i sent you which for which i managed to get most of the missing pictures (dead links) from kris's guide? in case the pictures are still not showing in his guide on the wiki i still havent attempted the valver's matrix as i now need to focus on other things to get a MOT on it

i like the idea of an app giving you warning bleeps but please dont be fooled by the old 10% myth - it has not been the case for many years i know as i have been stung by it twice in the past (around 10 years ago), both by unmarked cars, first was a 33 in a 30 zone & 2nd time was a 32 fortunately my insurer was very understanding & did not increase my premium on either occasion, after some very 'nice' talk & chat about it oddly enough i was reading about the below the other day....very expensive though... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/11292895/Device-that-tells-drivers-when-police-are-nearby-faces-calls-for-a-ban.html

hello there & welcome :) nice to hear of another in the worcs / warks area
