I've had a good search through my pics and surprisingly I don't really have any of the exhaust! You can see a couple of the tail pipe in various ones but that's about it. It's a great exhaust imo. It's resonated which is what I prefer, so very quiet normally, but nice and deep when you plant your foot. I've had non resonated on previous cars and not a fan of the drone at speed or the unwanted attention they bring. It's entirely personal choice though and many on here have them and love em. Fitment wise, depends who fits it and how anal they are really! Mine sat about 2mm further to one side at the tip than it should, which although isn't the end of the world, did get on my nerves a bit. It'll be sorted when it goes back together though! As long as you take time connecting each section, mocking it all up beforehand and marking where it should go you'll be fine.

I'm not sure to be honest mate. Maybe worth a trawl through Google to see if you can find any pics with one fitted

Just so you're aware, the inner sunroof trim won't work with a mk3 Golf sunroof mech. The Golf uses a pull back sliding louvre thing, so you'd have to manually pull yours back, and when you tilt the sunroof the trim won't go up with it. Not sure how the louvre would work with the Corrado headlining, unless you just do away with the lot.

Hi Matt, I'll have a look through the pics on the laptop tonight to see if I have any of the exhaust. It's off the car in bits at the moment. What specifically do you need? I've got the correct rear springs now, and they are fitted but the wheels are off and the car is in the air! Lol. I haven't noticed any real difference in height with new vs old, but can't say I measured them to be sure. The new springs are about half a coil longer though. Thanks for taking the time to read the thread btw, progress is almost non existent over the last 18 months but I will find time at some point to get going again. Probably over the winter as a heated garage is an absolute good send!

Thanks mate. For that price it's worth a shot!

Do you have a link to the one you bought Hasan?

It'll be the factory immobiliser if it starts then cuts out. Aftermarket will either not crank at all or crank but not start. When attempting to start after the initial try, does it start then cut out again, or just continue to crank with no starting at all? Could be a few different things tbh, many of them quite common.

I got a similar kit from that seller, just without the flaring tool as I already had one of those. In all honesty, the bending tool is a bit pants and you won't get some of the tight bends you need with that, but it does help with ensuring you don't pinch the pipe. The cunifer pipes are the best option imo but you will need more than the 25m per car. I got 25m and I have only done the rear axle pipework to the bias Vv, and don't have anywhere near enough to finish. It is hard pipe though so a better cutting tool, and a good quality flaring tool is best suited to the job unless you just go copper.

Oooh, I get the Corrado tattooed lady with the bum following those links. I've not seen her in ages! :thumbleft:

Ive sold to G60knight in the past. Tried checking old PMs but must have deleted them ages ago.

Shocker, England go in front early, do bugger all for an hour, and manage to get a result! Usually though, they hold out until late and concede in the last 10 mins. Got to give em a tad of credit, they at least tried at the end to get a result which finally paid off. Can't help thinking though that it'll be the same old story this world cup though. As an England supporter, I'm obviously a glass half empty.............

It's molded into the pulley. If you use a Stanley blade and follow it round the edge, it's only in by about .5 mm. If you shave the lip off, you can push it out the other side mate

We've recently moved to quite a rural area, and as such we have embraced country life. Home baked bread thickly cut, and masses of cheese with local farm chutneys are a very regular occurrence. My waist line has been affected quite considerably.......

You're either really bored, or you copy and pasted the lyrics from somewhere else! :lol: Sorry, I just can't get the enthusiasm going this year....

Are they ok when the fogs aren't selected? A bad earth or a short somewhere in the lighting I'd imagine though, but depends if its only when the fog switch is on if its the lights or fogs...

I don't think a new gearbox mount will make any difference to the drive or your snatching. If its passed the MOT then it should be perfectly fine, though I'm not entirely sure what it could be. I'm sure Stealth will be able to advise on everything you mention though. Just be careful the bill doesn't start running away with you!

Great game! De Gea had a mare though! :bonk:

We said that at the last world cup and were knocked out at the group stage. Same old same old.

This is the first international tournament I can remember where I'm not in the slightest bit excited. England bore the pants off me so although I'll probably watch all the games, I won't be perched on the edge of my seat with a cider in hand as I'd done previously. More like occasionally glancing at the TV when commentators start to get enthusiastic about something!

Possibly a fueling issue if it idles ok. Maybe start by changing the fuel filter, but could also be pump, fpr, or a mixture issue

This. :thumbleft:

Ok just had a look on their website. Low mileage which is why they're asking what they are, but nearing the point where chains could be an issue - especially at the age if not already done. Early interior with cloth as well so not as desirable. IMO, if you're a cash buyer I'd look in the private market. You could get the same car for around 2k less I reckon.

What is the mileage, and have the chains ever been replaced? Any engine work done in the past? The rubbers along the door have a metal strip through which can rust and warp them, so not necessarily due to rust on the door. Or as Jamo has said they could have been removed in the past and re-fitted, but again that may be due to the doors having been painted previously, so not necessarily rust again. It is decent money, but the good ones are easily fetching that now. Best of luck!

Both sound like common issues mate, the ABS doesn't become active until above 15 mph, so there is a fault in your system - and generally its the sensor at that point. If its done the self test at start up then everything else apart from the sensor should be good. Hesitation sounds MAF related to me. Unplug the MAF then drive for a minute to see if it persists. The fuel/air mix will go to default without it plugged in so you should notice it. Just don't leave it unplugged as they do sometimes cut out at this point.

Ha, didn't realise they were in poor condition!
