  1. sweet are you gonna buy em a steal at 40 notes :lol: Out of the frying pan and into the FIRE! :epicfail:
  2. Reckon it's new HU time - but you've been on that thread already!!!! :wink:
  3. Try Here Pioneer have a number of blue bluetooth units, although it's generally a given that any standard unit with a stand-alone bluetooth adapter will give a better sound quality than 'all-in' sets, adapters can be had off e-bay etc fairly cheaply I believe.
  4. Pioneer have two nice units, one at £389.99, DEH-P88RSII and the other just out DEX-P99RS available sometime at around £750 :shock: look and sound very good though apparently. A mate of mine has the (silver) '07 model precursor to the 88 and it's damn fine!! The revamped 88 only available in black looks wickedly nice. Pioneer DEH-P88RS II 2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdfdeh-p88rsii_1_large.jpg[/attachment:axakw9lo] Pioneer DEX-P99RS dexp99rs_main_large.jpg[/attachment:axakw9lo] I'm waiting for the DEH-P88RSII s to drop in price - the '07 models are still going for £210 secondhand!!
  5. Just flatten it out and reinforce it with fibre-glass or something similar on the reverse side, you can then scrub the visible side with some soapy water and a nail brush and hose it clean with fresh water, worked a bloody treat on mine :clap: ......just don't try it on your sun-roof trim - nightmare, cloth came adrift!!! :( :camp: If I had to do it again I'd glue-gun around all the edges and then just bleach it/rinse it flat, allow to dry and then apply thinned PVA glue to set it so it CAN NOT sag ever! 8) Replacement trim sorted me.....eventually. :cheers:
  6. Classic :lol: I called out the RAC for this many moons ago :(
  7. Mk2 16v exhaust will fit, unless it's a VR!!
  8. Clean it out with solvent and get a bit of rag in there, round the back and out the same hole, it'll be black as hell!!! Made a difference to mine - although I only did it because I thought it was the idle stab valve!! :scratch:
  9. In my experience the oil temp is usually around 10 degrees higher than the water.
  10. No idea - i'm pretty sure my 1990 KR doesn't have it!
  11. I don't know if I'd get on with them - I like the fact that things aren't closer than they appear!!! :lol: :lol: Landrover ones are like that (convex) and with a trailer on the back I had a couple of 'moments' overtaking slow lorries convoying about with the RAF! :gag: Doesn't anyone have a problem with the passenger side DDI mirror not being wide-angle? :scratch:
  12. That's funny!!! Looks bizarre :lol: :lol:
  13. Deffo check all the cables first!!
  14. Equity Red Star through Adriam Flux took about 4 months to sort my claim but it all worked out fine. These things do take awhile unfortunately.
  15. Cheers for all the replies - most of the lugs are still there so I think I'll fill each of the holes in the tailgate with Dum Dum and stick them in with that. Waterproof, Sticky but still Removable if required!!! .....goes off to E.gay!!! :lol:
  16. Other than the tape on the bottom edge of the number plate surround does anyone have any idea on the rest of the retainers? I assume they look like this? Special washer.jpg[/attachment:pdbxx8ba] But the parts guy at the local stealers couldn't find any fasteners on his ETKA and neither could I !!!! :brickwall: The abortion of self tappers and washers on mine have started to give up the ghost - HELP!! My fallback option is to apply something like Eldro Dum Dum and stick it on unless someone has a better option :shrug:
  17. Heli-coils are like springs aren't they, this uses threaded copper tubing, damn clever!
  18. He's asking the differences between the 1.8 and 2.0 valvers.
  19. Wurth Time-Sert sparkplug kit. Don't know if anyone knows of this kit but I've just used it today on my wife's X-reg 1.2 16v corsa :pukeright: to reinstate the stripped sparkplug threads in the block. 8) 2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdf16092009468.jpg[/attachment:3felps6y]passat climatronic wiring diags.pdf16092009466.jpg[/attachment:3felps6y]climatronic wiring-Golf from May 01.pdf16092009467.jpg[/attachment:3felps6y]16092009471.jpg[/attachment:3felps6y] It consists of a cutter that uses what's left of the old threads as a guide to cut new ones, a seat cutter slots over this to ensure everything is square and then a copper thread insert is screwed in and expanded with a 3rd tool to give you a compression-proof seal. :clap: A Big Mega Thanks to Nick at Youngs Garage, Gasoline Alley, Wrotham, Kent, TN15 7RR who lent me the kit. He's a top bloke and although he was way too busy with VWs and Audis...(..and it's a vauxhall!!) he was still able to save us an expensive head off bill (prob £400??) that could have otherwise resulted had it gone to a garage, :salute: :salute: :salute: Just need the coil to turn up in the post, bang in the new plugs and I can see if it's totally fixed. :lol: :lol:
