Does anyone like Lexus light? Except on Lexus LS200?
-
Oh, mines completely knackered now! The screwdriver method doesnt even work, another £200 to get it sorted!Is it easier to just swap the whole thing over? Golf Tilt & slide sunroofs are a bit good ;-D
-
I never bothered with the LED's I got M3/Crystal & im much happier it looks suttle but different and not tacky. Its amazing how many years a new set of lights can knock of your car! I dont want people to think that my car is a regular at the midnight McDonalds club :-)

Make sure the Police dont catch you, incorrectly spaced number plates are illegal & will not pass an MOT. I hate the idiots who use black screws and incorrect spacing to make it look like something its not.

I have just bought this( http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7939079027&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT ) Its only a crappy thing but tbh I expected some kind of cool little computer! It has 3 probes (Brown,Blue,Green & Yellow) to plug into the ecu plug which is inside the car above the ashtray behind the blank switches, what terminals do I plug in which hole? It says it works on Passat VR6 and golf.

Great, just picked it up, it was running lovely prior to the new clutch, now I have my main beam light on the dash permantly on but slightly dim I think a headlight bulb is out & its running on five cylinders! I am F*&@ing furious! Again I got to take it back! Whats he going to break this time???!!!

Got my Bill today for £333.75 I am not very happy! 5 Hours labour at £190, Clutch £85, A clip for my fuel line £1, a switch for my reverse light £12 and the rest is VAT! Apparently the friction plate of my old clutch was fine but the pressure plate was knackered and there was not enough spring pressure due to my springs getting hot because of the slipping, says its not his fault as there is no way to check the pressure plate just seems a big coincedense to me. Now has a Sachs normal clutch & I cant pick it up until Friday as I only put by £200 to pay for it! He said there is no way you can

It would make is easier to trap your passengers head in the window sounds like a good idea for nagging girlfriends! I think early MK3 golf didnt have one touch on the passenger side.Just a weird quirky VW thing I think. -

What about LHD cars? Do they swap the motors to opposite sides? -

Mine too, well annoying trying to drive and wind two windows up! -
I have those ones!His are well faded though. You could have blue,black or leather seats in a VR when they first came out.
-
He is a nice bloke but I dont think VR's are his expertise. He said the clutch was perfect & pretty new when he put it in so cant understand why is its slipping or needs replacing, he said he will look at it tommorow so pretty much admitted its his fault :-D
-
Yeah, I used them once £1k for an engine swap (which I supplied & fitted) & took 3 months!!!
