Whole heartedly agree with you. We've been there a few times and can't fault their service and have not been able to beat their prices either.

Saw the feature when the mag dropped through the letterbox and guessed it was your car even before I read and of it. Congratulations.
-
Shail, I'm glad all is well with the new engine and you are enjoying the car again.

Got stuck in traffic on the way home from work due to snow. Took about 2.5hrs to do just over 5 miles. I averaged just over 5mpg!

Nice one Six, alomost identical bhp/torque figures. Looks very healthy to me. Note to self: win the lottery and buy a Schrick! :-)

If its definitely a Lupo she wants, I'd get a 100bhp 16v. Sadly after all the grief I had with my Polo GTi (and heard what others have had too), I would not go near another one of those 1.6i 16v engines. I loved that car too :-(
-
Don't forget your handbag. !amazed But yes Olly it was good. 8) Very smart Pete, must have taken you a while, fancy coming down to the "Big Smoke" to do mine?
-
Just don't tell her...... or let her see the credit card bills for a while! LOL.
-
Try VW parts dept?
-
Stealths new webby by any chance Pete? :-)
-
Pete Just one idea. When you have a thread like this one that has multiple pages, there is no indicator as to which page number you are viewing. Or if there is, its very hard to see. :-)
-
Still a young man, very sad indeed. Lets be honest he had a huge hand in shaping modern music and helped some of todays huge bands break into the big time. Not sure if we will ever see another DJ have such an influence again. :-(
-
Fingers crossed, that should be some great publicity
-
Hope it gets found soon in reasonable order. If not show your insurance company as many decent value used car ads as you can, it can help with the payout. Also if you have pictures and the history that may help too.
-
All you need to do now is laquer over it to keep your new badge lookin' good!
-
Pete - for a charger overhaul I would recommend Pitstop Developements, they are down your way too. :-)
-
You could always keep the VR and find another cheap 16v to have fun in?
-
Nah Pete, I think you misunderstood, Rich said VALVE caps. Or did I get it wrong? :-) Same thing happened to my other halfs car. Blinking kids nicked them for their bicycles too. :-(

Just transferred my VR to Adrian Flux from Greenlight for just over £500 with 5 years NCB. Also what makes a difference to the quotes are the different deals that the insurance deals that the insurance companies set up with the brokers. We found this out when getting quotes from Greenlight and Adrian Flux both from Highway (which HIC also use) and the quotes varied massively.

I would say do about 1000 miles before thrashing it on a rolling road. I'd also suggest changing the oil at 500 and the 1000 mile mark.
-
I've got MHW's in mine, one side is fine but the other lets in a little water. :-(
-
The ET on your current wheels is 43 if the helps?
-
Nice, and just a little different with the arches.
