  2. Is it safe for me to slap my leather VR strearing wheel in my new car which doesn't have airbags... Its not going to go off in my face is it lol
  3. Yer looks good.. good on the spanners for a body shop bloke lol. Whats different about the inlet.. Just looks painted black to me??
  4. Ye ye it did it on mine. Take the metal clip off... if that dont work then i just cut it down a 1cm
  5. Nice one mate.. How anoiying... Ive been trying to change somthink that doesn't exsist lol. Abit weird for a car not to have a thermostate in.. isn't it.. Killing all the fuel off :@
  6. lol. then i come along and buy it ha ha i think its clockwise but you will soon find out
  7. Can anyone help me please.. Just brought a 1.8cl mk3 and its not getting up to temp.. Need to change the termostate but can't find where it goes... Ive looked everwhere but amsuming that its ment to have one. Has anyone got a exploded drawing of a 1994 1.8 cl mk3 showing where the termostate is fitted thanks alot Tom
  8. You need to wind them back mate.. I use the proper tool, Probaly worth buying tbf.. there might be another way of doing it but i donno of it
  9. £150 just for a top coat at my local bodyshop for one bumper I was thinking more like £50-80.. I wont be using them... How can they charge that when all the laybor works done???
  10. Cheers rich.. thanks for your offer but ive found some 2nd hand ones in good nick.. Might give you a shout one time now i know your there.. Thanks again
  11. Does anyone know how to remove the brake servo from the pedal box end. Its realy starting to bug me now and I don't want to get lairy at it and brake somthink.. Am i right in thinking you have to push all 6 which plactic clips down at the same time and then it pops off or is there a tool/ leaver point or somthink Cheers Tom
  12. Yep I perfer after even tho ive got a set of santa monicas lol.. The santa monicas don't suit the mk2
  13. Kev uses stand alone ECU which is the best but every exsencive... Cheepest and easyest opition is C2 which everyone that uses then are very happy with. So go with C2 software.. If moneys no option then get standalone but you will need rolling road and somone to remap it. The C2 software is a remap of your ECU but not set up on your car, Its a map they sell for VR turbos so theres no need to send your car off to them
  14. Headlight eyebrow, rear lights, wheels are all pants but I wouldn't mind the engine, charger, brakes ect.. 12K no way If it was better styled then I recon its worth £8000 easy.. If you want a rotrex in your car im guessing buying one already done is alot cheeper way of going about it..
  15. Im in the process of reshelling my VR. Found a clean and strate black 3 door 1.8 CL for £700 Alot cheeper than a rust free VR? I would think. Im going to change the lot. Dashboard (different dash), clocks looms, fuse box strearing rack, But ive got a hole VR to take everythink off. Also pedal box needs changing (hydrilic clutch ect) Ive even got to go as far as the electric windows and looms.... As the new ones is a 1994 with no electric windows. What was important for me is that its clean, and for £700 i feel ive done a good job. Because im doning the work myself its not going to
  16. As above realy. If I self prep how much do you think the top coat and s few layers of lacker is going to cost? Just dont want to get riped off from the local body shop.. Cheers Tom
  17. Hello. Im after 2 stub axals and 2 sets of bearing for my rear discs. Due to no longer working in the trade I can't get a discount from VW any more :-( . Does anyone fancy making them self some money aswell as saving me a few ££ :-d Not a problem if you can't... Cheers Tom
  18. haha il try not to get obsessed :-d I think ill use some G3 on my tough ups stone chips ect as it abrasive and then some autoglym stuff for the hole car. Ok so ive got it looking mint then i sput down the road and get it alittle messy. I dont want to wash the wax off or wax it again so what do i do to get the mess off, Just a quick wash and shampo or just cold water on its own?? Anythink wrong with the old school chamois leather. I brought a goodun not long ago and cost me £20
  19. The link you sent me have way to much imformation to take in lol. Well that black car looks amasin so im going to go for that P21S stuff you use Im picking the car up at the weekend so ill start then. It looks ok but needs a good clean and polish, Also theres a spot of rust the size of a 2p on the bottem of one of the archs by the side skirt so im going to chop that out weld abit in and spray that before i start. Hopfully the G3 will help blend it in abit If not im going to risk the 2000 grit and do some reading. So just to sum up, the shopping list Car shampo Megs fine clay and lub G3
  20. Cheers Sanky thats just what I was after. So i take it the G3 is the cutting compound, Thats different to polish and wax?? You've got a black car, Is the polish and clay included in that 3 step megs pack and what wax would be good on my black car (what do you use) Cheer for you help Tom
  21. Ive just brought a new car and want to give it a polish, Been looking at afew of the treads but its left me quite confused. My car metalic black by the way So im guessing first I want to give it a good wash... What shampo should I use and whats the 2 bucket wash people are on about. How does it work and how do i do it? Then I understand I need to clay the car while wet? What grade clay do I use and how do i lub it? Then touch up stone chips and scratchs Then would I use a fine cutting paste? Wash again??? Polish Then wax it, and what wax. Is that the process or have i missed anythink. A
