  6. Sorry Wush didn't mean to be 'orrible! If it's any consilation I have tinted windows and I don't think they are particularly well thought of - but i like 'em
  7. I should be off work next monday if your still at it - I have a couple of mates in 'Castle that I can see as well! I'll send you a pm nearer the time mate. I'm not an expert by any means but I have two hands and a bit of knowledge (possibly dangerous!!)
  8. I can vouch for the Milltek as well - they do sound awesome when you give it the beans, do it!!
  9. i would disconnect t he battery again. when you reconnect it turn your key so that all the lights come on BUT DONT TURN IT OVER. Leave it for a good twenty mins while the ecu resests itself.

Mk3 Golf Gti (Got divorced!) 4. Renault Migane (got married again!) 5. Mk3 Golf VR6 with all the bits on! (got divorced again!!) Anyone spot a pattern

    Daily driver

    I've had mine since March and apart from spending money on service items and a water pump I haven't HAD to buy anything else. Although I do have trouble with the want=need equation. They are a great car to own and drive. Like any car purchase just make sure its right, and enjoy!
  18. Just an FYI really, just been shopping around for an exhaust and this company http://www.icjperformance.co.uk came in a lot cheaper than the likes of Awesome Gti and they didn't charge for postage! Only downside so far was that the 'zorst was out of stock! Hope this is helpful. dame
  19. oops, thats lager talking!! 129k '96 P plate chains not done. Sweet so far. Ignore my last drunken ramble!
  20. 239k '96 P plate. chains not done, sweet so far!!!
  21. cheers binliner. will my handling be affected at all - or will it just be better!
  22. I have a vr6 with audi a3 1.8t wheels on it. The offset is ET42 stamped on the back of the wheels. I like the look of the wheels on the car but the tyre size is niggling me - a lot! The last guy had 205/50/16 tyres on and they are too big, i know that much. What tyre size SHOULD i have on those wheels, i thought it might have to be 215/40/16 but then i read that on 16's you use 195/40/16. As i am a little confused could someone please put me straight on this! Ta
