  1. Oh ok so whats the difference between a cat back exhaust and a normal exhaust or am i sounding stupid here? Also i need to get my car hooked up to a vagcom computer as i need to reset my airbag light but shall i buy one off ebay or get someone else to do it for me and pay them?
  2. Its not going away though thats what i mean it seems to start to smell after i been driving for a while when the car is warm? I could understand if i was ragging it about but im not. If i buy myself a Jetex s/s exhaust system (cat back) will the smell go?
  3. Just noticed this past 3 or 4 days when using my car i get a really eggy smell. Im not thrashing the car about just driving normally? I had this problem with my mk3 gti but i only got the eggy smell when thrashing the car normal driving was fine?
  4. I bought my coilovers used and was told they were set up at 40mm but how do you measure to see how low they actually are?
  5. Thanks for that all. So anyway now i no thats illegal fellow dubbers know any good sites for a set of decent plates?
  6. Just about to order a a new set of plates and i want to have a slogan underneath anyone got any good ideas? *-) Also is this legal?
  7. Well woke up saturday morning and the sun was out, so with no time to waste cracked on with fitting my coilovers. About 3hrs later job done and i couldnt wait to go take the vr6 out. Well what a difference its like being in a go kart and i cant stop smiling now. I keep finding an excuse to go out for a drive. lols :-p Just a couple of photos to show the difference: Before: After: I will add some more pics when the sun comes out.
  8. Just hit 70k so still plenty of smiles left hopefully. :-p
  9. Also what is the best lube so they dont seize? Im intending to use copper grease?
  10. Cool mate thanks for all you help i think im going to attempt it at the weekend all being well that the weather holds out and if the mrs don't want to go shopping. lols :-p
  11. ip yes its me mate. Finally i got my car back from the bodyshop and i got some time off so im going to attempt doing this with my dad, who's pretty sure this is gonna be a long & shitty job. I have never attempted to do anything like this before so i just wanted to be sure that im not going to cock it up. I just dont know where to start? :S
  12. Is there a coilover fitting guide some where on here? Ive had a brief look but cant find anything? :S
  13. Hi all found these lying around in my garage whilst having a clear out and im not too sure what car their for? My dad previously owned a mk1 golf and swears they came from that? Any ideas peeps? *-)
  14. Have you got a link to the one you bought mate? Think its time to invest myself need to turn off my airbag light after replacing a faulty indicator stalk?
  15. Im liking that was it just a simple swap m8? :-d
  16. So i got the car back today finally as the indicator stalk went and they had to replace it so that delayed my collection even more. But im well happy with thend result. :-p Anyway drove off and realised the airbag light has come on and stays on, am i right in thinking that as they had to remove the steering wheel to replace the indicator stalk that they have to reset the airbag once put back on? If this is the case is there anybody local to me (enfield) that can do this or is it worth me buying one of the vag com usb leads with the software off ebay? Thanks
  17. So i put the key in the door and kept it turned and everything did shut to my suprise including the roof, my bad (thanks slim vr6) at least i know it all works then. So now i just got to figure out how to link this to my alarm *-)
  18. Cool i think i will definately have to give that a go then :-#
  19. Very nice mate been meaning to try one of them clay bars are they easy to get on with as i was a bit worried ive heard mixed opinions?
  20. Should ave told him to get F*****. :@
  21. Paid the bodyshop a visit today to see if there was any progress with the vr6 and to my suprise the insurance company agreed to repair it. I got there and they had already made a start on my car so im well happy looks like i will have my baby back on friday :-p so definately no more shopping trips, lols. Anyway whilst i was there i managed to knock them down a bit for the front bumper respray and they also agreed to touch up any other bits that i wanted doing. Friday can't come quick enough, especially when ive just bought some coilovers to fit .
