    I'm thinking of getting some of these for mine, but isn't the pcd 5x112?? I think they look good!! Does anyone know the offset as I've seen adaptors but they're 25mm ones.

    Thanx for the advice guys... I've tried Brillo pads before (JaysVR6) - !amazed !lol - doesn't quite have the desired effect!!!! I found a local supermarket (NETTO - went in for some cheap beer for a party!!!) selling microfibre cloths for under a quid so bought a load... They worked fine for me and saved me loads of dosh. I'm most happy with the results (don't ask for photo's cos I don't know how to post them - when I can I'll post some either on this thread or on my welcome note). Cheers again guys....

    Hey there.... As said previously - glad it's not just me with some rust!!! !dodge You've got similar rust problems to mine - how much have you been told it'll cost as I need to start a respray fund? Mine's been stood for nearly THREE years (only done 7000 miles) but the bodywork has suffered.... Hope all goes well with the respray.... !lol

    Hey there guys... Just a quick question about cloth's. What do you guys use when polishing/ waxing your cars? Most people seem to either use 100% cotton towels, or microfibre cloths, or that stockinette roll stuff. I used to use old cotton t-shirts and towels, but I was reading on Meguiars website that mircofibre cloth is the best... What's the score - which is best? Most places sell these micro fibre cloths for silly prices (I've seen some for

    Hi guys... I don't know if this is of any use to anyone, but I found this fault code reader on a site when looking for a brake caliper tool (which they have for under a tenner by the way!). Check it out - http://www.tooled-up.com/Product.asp?PID=91700. There's an instruction pdf to view - if I'm right it is for ODB1/ older type interfaces. I was going to get one but mine is ODB2. It uses flash codes and seems to cover the basics in a car. I was going to buy it 'cos it was only cheap (way cheaper than a VAG-COM) and worth a try, but it's no use to me. Anyway guys hope this could help some of yo

    Hey there... I have Bonrath vents in these holes at the bottom of the bumper. You get a vent tube with it... Check out this place : http://www.autostyling.co.uk/Bonrath/product.asp?ProductID=1415&CatID=208&SubCatID=0 I got black for my black VR and they look the business... Also, check out the Kamei site : http://www.kamei.co.uk/index2.html I quite like the ones in the middle... Also, as for the space to run the hose/ duct, I had a small plastic tube-type thing which I just took out and fed the hose up - as I said it worked for me... Hope this helps....

    Hey there guys... Thanx for the advice, I took the battery earth cable off for about 20 minutes and ...... IT BREATHES GAIN - THE BEAST ROARS!!!!! Sorry about that I'm just happy that it's ok! It's a nightmare knowing that its outside and I can't drive 'cos of the knee op... Only a few weeks though and I'll be back drivin' with a HUGE grin on my face. I'll be back for more advice when I'm doing the major mods (supercharger etc)... Mines only got a Pipercross induction kit and a full stainless exhaust at the moment, but the sound is simply the best!!!! Cheers again guys...

    Ok guys, I'm new to this site so a big hello to y'all... I've read many threads and you all seem to be far more educated than most mechanics I know, so here's a possible puzzler for you to solve. I reset my service indicators (IN01, IN02, oel) according to the Bentley manual and from what I've seen on various threads, but now my blessed VR6 won't start! When I turn the key I get IN00 which I assume is right. I've got a TOAD alarm and a separate immobiliser (not factory - just forgot the name) and these seem fine - they turn on/off as per normal. When I try to start the car it doesn't turn over
