Ebay can be a right pain. When I sold my Lexus GS300 Sport on there, someone did a buy it now on it, and never heard from them at all. Of course the buy it now top trumped the bids I'd already had, so I lost out there also. To get a unpaid strike against them, I would've had to wait weeks before I could relist the car. In the end I just relisted it and had to forego any unpaid disputes against the tool that did it, they essentially got away with it scott free. As far as payments go, I always put in my listing that payment must be made within two days of auction end or the item will be re-listed. That way, you can cut someone some slack if they seem genuine, but you can blow out the P&ss takers if need be.

You want just a plug, or a plug with a cable on it to connect to something else?

My inlaws live in the Alicante region having sold up and bought there 7 or 8 years ago. They find it quite tough as the exchange rate for GBP to Euros suffered. Converting their UK pensions to Euros means they are on about half of what they used to have per month. Other than that though, everything has been dandy.

The owners manual only says to take it a bit easier if it goes over 140 degrees.

Luckily for me the Corrado will be tucked up over winter. I do have a set of winter tyres for the GS430 though, and would recommend them all day long. 300bhp through rear wheels with 275 width tyres is a nightmare in snow and ice. No such trouble with the winter 275s on, well worth it :)

They always price match too. If Kwikfit are closest to you, phone other places first and Kwikfit will match the price. If they aren't the closest, most other places do the same so call the closest place last. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Now that is funny. I hate metros as it is, offset pedals etc, can't imagine why you would want to turn one into something that only vaguely resembles a TT. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That is not true, I am always interested in other opinions. What I feel compelled to reply to is incorrect/inaccurate information. Or blanket statements that are only partly true. They are illegal, no question. They are illegal if you fit hid bulbs without the other legal requirements. If you put auto levelling and washers on, an after market hid kit can be legal. Nothing to do with bulb shape, beam patterns etc. those other two requirements do nothing to effect those qualities. You can fail an mot on beam alignment/pattern (be non road worthy) with halogen bulbs in a halogen unit, just as you could with factory hids or halogen units with hid bulbs. You mentioned bulb shape, maybe I just misread how you wrote it. I am interested believe me :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It all depends on the headlamp, some are better than others. If the cut off is clean, it is clean, and can be set low enough. The bulb shape has nothing to do with the legalities of them, and hid halogen units can aim hids correctly, but maybe not all units. And maybe not corrodo units. You can find pictures/videos on the web to support whatever slant you want to put on anything. Some hid kits have a shield fitted to the bulb to assist with the clean cutoff. Again, some headlamps cope better than others. There is a difference between doing something, and it having the desired effect and using it, compared to fitting something that scatters all over the place and just running with it regardless. If common sense doesn't come into it, then fair enough, they are a cock. They run cooler regardless of what unit they are in. If they won't fit in your lights because they are too long, then they are melting through the lense, not the reflectors, and it isn't a result of running hotter. If they don't fit, don't use them, that would just be daft. Not entirely true. Just because you are uninsured, doesn't make something your fault. The burden of proof would still be on the other person to prove that being dazzled would have caused the accident. It just means that if it was proved to have caused it, the expense would be yours and not covered on your insurance (and suspension or points on your license most likely - if the police were involved). All mods are done at your own risk.

Hids run cooler than standard halogens, so no reason why they should melt any reflectors. As far as the MOT goes, pop the standard H4's in before going if there is likely to be a problem. Set the aim lower to avoid dazzle and all should be good (especially if you steer clear of the blue/purple ends of the spectrum). 4300k is the norm factory colour for most manufacturers. The Feds will normally give you the opportunity to rectify the lights if they are being dickish enough to tug you, especially if you have the standard bulbs stowed away in the car somewhere. Having said that, I'm not a fan of them in reflector headlamps particularly, retrofit ones look much better in projector headlamps. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah, I'd be in too but need a rough guide price to make a definate decision.

this is a pretty good (and cheap) alternative. I have one and it does what it says on the tin http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-VR6-SPARK-PLUG-LEAD-REMOVAL-TOOL-/190514479332?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2c5b8c40e4
