Interesting, seems google+ might be slowing us down.. Suprising, but certainly possible!

I'll speak to Andy and see if we can test this

Saw a nice Mauve VR today in Corby (by Halfords) I thought I was the only Raddo in the village! loool

Ah in that case, fair play to you! You had an epic challenge!!!

I used to be "scared" of MOT's but to be honest, its only a list of things to do.. Generally they are not that hard... Although next year I have the sills to do, thats going to hurt my wallet!!!

Sounds like a possible SQL issue, Could you replicate it? If so we can look on the server to see whats going on...

LOL.. OOOOR I'll do as I please :)

If I could make it look better I would do, failing that I'll install a TV instead..

So, no, sorry I'm not repeating anything you say and I'm thinking for mysql :)

When mine was off, it just read 12MPG all the time!! lol

Nope, the engine has gone, and I have put a new engine in the raddo :)

Yeah I know what you mean... The dash isn't wide enough!!!

So I'm trying to get this to look factory ish, but with no luck! So for now I have attached it to the dash!

I think its just to big really, but I'm gonna carry on trying because the ipad is AWESOME!!

Quite steep for essentially a bit of Carbon Fibre!!

The manifold, alternator etc are all still on the engine so might be worth something to someone. You have to come get it though. Your welcome to have it for £30...

It still turned over before it was removed from the car... I can't say for sure what damage it has though, hence the low price...

I need to get myself a copy of ETKA :)

Ah right! I swear VW said from front to back.. Maybe I'll pop in :) Cheers anyway, i do need that part, but would prefer the whole lot!!

Awesome Cheers mate,

Is that just the black bit your talking about? I need the whole run.... From wheel to wheel...

I did this a few months ago too, Ran everything from the ABF..

For future reference, you don't need to take the dash out, or change ignition barrels etc,

Just engine swap and plug the engine connectors into the back of the fuse box :) Jobs a goddun!

Yay, I rang them and they still stock them :) Wahooooooooooooo

Although they are now £51.62 and he couldn't give me the part numbers.. apparently they are not allowed.. oh and he can't order them for me either.. course he can't... dick! lol

Cooooooooooooooool, this will be awesome!! :)

I would swap my 50 for your 90 ;) PM me and I can remove and post mine... If you can also post yours.. perfect condition.. car was lowered a few weeks ago ;)

I can take a photo later for you :)

I know I have them, but I have never used them, and when I did the engine conversion, i didn't plug them in... I know they are the same on a Mk3 Golf Gti if that is of any help.. maybe you could find the stuff at a scrappy!

I think just the outer sill....

Here you can see the patchwork I did to get it through an MOT

I guess it also depends how good you are with repairs yourself. I have always wanted a C and when I sold my Polo I went to see one near me... It looked OK, and tbh didn't really know what I was looking for.. a bit of laquer peel and a black sill, I didn't think anything of it...

1 month later the engine went... Bought a Golf for £100 replaced the Raddo engine with the Golf one and made money on the parts from the Golf (so the engine was free). We fitted the engine so there was no cost....

My only problem now is the body work needs tidying up, and the sills need doing... However, I bought it for £500.. and once I'm done it will prob of cost me about 3k, however I KNOW that it will all be Ok once I have spent the money. I personally wouldn't buy a car for 3k that you can buy for £500 if your not 100% convinced that the extra 2.5K is worth it.. eg could you spend 2.5k on something cheaper and make it perfect (and you would know its been done, not hidden).

I've hunted high and low for a set of sills as mine really need replacing. It seems you can't get them new anymore... I would be happy to have some that have been cut of a donor car as long as they were perfect!

Or does anyone know where you can get them new?

Be careful, I pulled my off today (along with all the paint.. They are back on now until the respray :)
