Yea £7.50 for an app that might be bs... i'll wait till someone who has money gets it first

WOW

nobody has a clue?

turn engine off :D

i meant has anyone used ebc brakes ltd the company before and had good service

Where is the best place to get EBC brakes, i've tried 3 places today and they all say they have stock on the website and after ringing up find out they aren't in stock, one of these was also putting stuff on ebay!! I rang up ebcbrakesltd.co.uk and they have some in, just wondered if anyone had any experience of these?? Ian

Are rear hoses (specifically goodridge braided) the same across the board on Corrado's as i'm doing a vr6 brake upgrade and will obviously end up with vr6 front and backs if different Cheers Ian

might have to buy an xbox...fix rado or buy more games, its a tough one

Sorry kip but not sure how to take some of the comments in your last post. Apologies if your anger made it sound more vitrolic that it should have been but at the end of the day we are all immigrants, nobody has occupied this land forever. As it happens I'm disgusted with this Countries foreign policy and open support of Terrorist States. But does that mean I should leave? I fail to see the connection between skin colour and the liking of the Union Jack either :camp: You can only speculate what happened to the car, but the chances of it being due to the Union Jack and a Muslim/Arab (as I guessed thats what you meant) IMHO are slim to none. Whats more likely is a drunken person wanted to impress mates and picked on the oldest car which they thought no-one would care about. I have nothing against you mr mccrotch but I think you should pick your words carefully before joining on the racist bandwagon Where does something as heinous an accusation of the perpetrator being a muslim/arab have anything to do with it, he/she said 'if it was remotely racial' so i don't understand how you can tar them with the metaphorical paintbrush and possibly come to that assumption, if you wanted to be specific it could also be my friend from Lagos trying to sell me a car for £5000 and send me a cheque for £4900 it's ludicrous... it isn't 'if his anger made is sound more bitter than it should have been at all', it's more like you are trying to rotate the thread into something that is not and deriving from the true point of the sympathy this man should be recieving because someone (student or not, (yes welcome to the world of freedom they are also classed as a minority)) smashed in his car for no apparent reason, other than what can be speculated from the pictures which brings me neatly, back to the true point of the thread. Devestated to hear about your car mate i'd be absolutely livid too, i have a friend who's car was at the bottom end of a wrestling match on his bonnect... If i go past a car... Ford or not i have the respect of the world not to harm another persons property and whoever that was, must have probably been drunk and hopefully fell over and broke some bones on the way home.

i'm gonna have this issue soon too, so help appreciated!

dunno how accurate it is but found this: http://uk-mkivs.net/forums/p/228922/1473529.aspx Hope that helps

Yea it's more peace of mind, plus if i get most of it done car should be sorted for a couple of years picked the car up couple of weeks ago and here's the definitive list: OSF caliper seized upgrading to vr6 calipers Front discs + pads g60 discs Sump gasket leaking [strike:2e5zbyod]Rocker cover gasket leaking[/strike:2e5zbyod] Front to rear brake pipe corroded N/s to O/s Rear B/pipe corroded [strike:2e5zbyod]Brake compensator seized[/strike:2e5zbyod] (chiller1) Brake hose at reservoir chaffed through ? is this just meaning the cotton is fraying? Both rear axle bushes split Both rear wheel bearings Fuel filter corroded Fuel pipes to filter corroded Fuel regulator corroded Rear brake bads N/s/f abs sensor insecure Hole in floor near nsf sill N/s/f ball joint bolt loose Exhaust manifold cracked anyone who's got a 9a exhaust manifold and a fuel reg drop me a pm please!

fuckin hell helen thats awful, and i was annoyed about mine!! hope this is the last of the worries on a road to recovery!!!

abs light still on? ;)

thanks for helping out; i've got a much better idea of things now; any more tips?

I just got a phone call from local garage about the parts corroded/wrong with my car the parts i can remember are as follows: Both rear axle bushes (split or corroded can't remember what she said) Fuel filter corroded Front brake hoses corroded (maybe rear as well) Front gasket leak (i think that's what she said) Front discs & pads Front o/side caliper seized Front & rear brake compensators.. Can someone give me a clue of how much this will set me back if i did it myself? (Put in drivetrain because most is drivetrain)

tighten your wheelbolts! that was my rattle, ended in the wheel comin off !!!

each to their own opinions i say

thanks, you got a link to TPS i got no clue (the parts store??) have you got the rear bearings vw part number? might just get them all at once

how hard are they to fit, where's the best place to get them (vag, gsf etc) ETKA says part 357 498 625 B @ £76.23? for qty of 2 but i'm new to ETKA so is that right?

I'm replacing the rocker cover, upper and lower intake manifolds on my 9a, i was wondering which gaskets i need to replace, i have a new rocker cover gasket and also one that looks like it would be for some pipes? I was wondering which other ones would be needed to do a reseal from the rocker cover up? DSCF6262.JPG[/attachment:2cg39bfi] Cheers Ian

fitted new shiny red ht leads, put the boot carpets back in, put the front bumper back on and spotted up the back bumper

The red leads don't seem to "screw" off?

I just bought a set of new HT leads and came to fitting them, but on the last one (1st or 4th cyl) theres a donut shaped thing on the original how do i get this off the original and onto the new one??? pics later

I got moonlight blue, is there any difference between midnight blue and moonlight blue?
