:wave: Welcome to the Forum! There are a handful of us around, although quite a few more in the Hampshire/Surrey/West Sussex areas as well.

Are you offering this service then Ian, or was it just the one set? I'd have a set if they're on offer, and I already have a spare lot I could send you in advance.

VW Heritage sell them at a reasonable price mate.

Haha, I know that feeling! When I got my car there was an "ICE" install, with random bits of 2 core just twisted together with not even any insulation tape so was shorting all over the place! Seriously dangerous. They'd even hacked holes in the B pillar trims and outer kick plates to fit speakers! Atrocious and the first thing I did was remove it all when I got home!

No need top top up, in fact you may need to take some brake fluid out depending on how low your disks and pads are.

They're caliper to carrier bolts, you should have 2 per caliper so 2 for each corner. I wouldn't panic mate, it'll be fine to re use one set if you are missing them.

There was a set for sale on here on a breaker, however the thread has been locked now due to a few "problems. "

SKF or SNR Rob. Available from ECP and not expensive either.

Mine and the Aqua had it too.

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Track soon to be changed to the whistle song...........

Ooh Dire Straights, good shout!

Tears for fears, Simply Red, MJ, Bob Marley, and Phil Collins/Genesis.

Congrats on the pass mate! My tester is like that too. The MOT charge is only £25 and I'm sure they get the hump knowing they won't be getting any extras for sorting "problems". It funny though, this was the first time the guy actually engaged with me, so I think he's come to the realisation that I won't go away. They are anal as they come, but at the end of the day they are very thorough, which is a good thing I suppose.

I'm sure you'll learn plenty on Sunday mate. Its all about getting stuck in and not worrying. Its just nuts and bolts at the end of the day, and there are plenty of guides all over the tinterwebs if you get stuck. The plus is that you have the Lude to fall back on, so don't be afraid to get your hands dirty and have a play with the Corrado!

Just looked at the receipt for the work Wayne. Damn I'm glad I can do most work myself! The only thing I couldn't have done is wheel alignment, and the parts listed would have come in at around £250 I reckon. :eek:

Blown bulb?

Wayne I've just bought a set of wiper arm cover caps from Heritage pretty cheaply. The ones on the aqua were missing and mine are faded, so swapped them over. Part number 1J0-955-205A. £1.71 each.

As I said, sell the Prelude, and get a small house with a garage. If you still can't, sell one of the boys! You know, your least favourite one................................... :ignore:

Glad she's running well Wayne, heres to a bit of happy motoring for you! :thumbleft: Edit: Fingers crossed the gear oil replacement makes a good bit of difference. Bit of advice, the syncro meshes are notoriously poor, so make sure your at, or very nearly at a complete stand still before engaging first.

Should be ok to view now Rog. First time I've posted anything on there so don't know what I'm doing!

Not strictly Hampshire, but not far mate. https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCEQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.johnmitchellracing.co.uk%2F&ei=Ku4CVeHKIqLP7gbs7YCwDw&usg=AFQjCNF9-I0j-e_ynuR6y-6hdc4aTZc1cA&sig2=aJVfiVDRyDh44yaUm8Tlxg&bvm=bv.88198703,d.ZGU

Went in this morning to have a little go at it. I'm near the point of having spent what it's worth, so wanted to see if I could sort it without having to buy a replacement compensator. A load of WD40, a rubber mallet, and a full bleed through again has certainly improved it, although it's still not perfect to be honest. Needs a good test drive to get it going again I hope. Wheels are all on the correct corner and done up tightly now though! Lol.

While I was writing, congrats mate that's a great price!

I'm with marker study through Adrian Flux. I'm 32, 3 points, no fault accident in 2012, average postcode I think, 4k limited, all mods declared, all extras except key and breakdown, and paid £198 although it's it expires end of next month. When I called I was originally quoted around £225. I told them thanks and I was just going to phone a couple more companies (although I'd already called most and be best I had before that was £275), but the guy said what can we do to get you to commit now? I said if you get below £200 I would. I thought I was pushing my luck tbh, but he went away, came back a few minutes later and did it for £198. I was pretty chuffed with that so accepted.
