    Woke up this morning to an open driver side door on the newly purchased MK1 and this has been done.... All the terminals had been bent and the wiring ripped out the steering column. Police informed, we'll send someone out later.....14hrs later, nothing. As you can tell by the pic, removed the steering wheel and column. Somehow they opened the door, I suppose string or pallet securing strips can do it. Oh and they popped the bonnet and sabotaged my HT leads, ripping them from the spark plug connecters. Looks like they tried doing the movie shite...tapping 2 wires together till the engine turns

    He's bought the most expensive mk3 bodykits out there, one hell of a crap spoiler and used lego in the back. He needs to remove the bodykit, n all the shitty extras, keep the engine mods on it and sell it for around 5k.

    Nasty. Chavish and over done. I saw that when he first put it up and I wasn't impressed.

    Gavin, I have thought of that too matey. I think I will contest it. Maybe another 15 added onto the total bill. If I loose.

    He said because he had to do 120 to catch up. I maintained 80 down the middle lane over taking lorries. I asked him where he was in relation to me when he saw me and he said sat at 55 in the N/S as I entered the motorway, I didn't see him, he was behind a van I rekon. I hit the motorway doing 70. I even had cars overtaking me at speed in lane 3, yet he caught up to me and gave me that worthless excuse. When I did ask him about the 10 or so cars hurtling past me, he said "you appeared the most wreckless". I just put it down to having a nicer, better looking car and he was jealous.....plus I hav

    I would, but I willfully got into the car with an out of date tax disc on show. No matter what I try, I will have no defense....plus going to court would incuur more bills for me and I'd still lose as it's the government. I could say they forced me to use the car as I had work and gave plenty of time for payment and THEY are the ones who broke their statement "5 - 7 working days".....9days after purchase, still nothing.... it's 50/50 on win/lose.

    Well, I had my reminder for car tax appear around 2 weeks ago...ran out 30/04/09......I bought it on the 22 april online. Still hasn't arrived, though the DVLA assured me on wednesday that it was being processed....mailed.....so today on the way to work, with the reciept for online purchase in my wallet but the old tax disc still on display I get pulled by a T5. Checks the car over and informs me that my tax disc has ran out, I inform him that my car is taxed and has been for the past 9 days, but the DVLA ahsn't got their backsides into gear. I show him the reciept and inform him that I have t

    Deffo looking forward to a good drink at this thing. Maybe a few burnt sausage sarnies to boot. I'm guessing this is the same sorta thing as the pod....buy what you need for the whole 3 days before parking up?

    Sounds like an alignment problem. If he put the clutch on...possible it's clipping the engine or the spring plate, he may have done something to the release bearing. Sounds like one of those 2 anyway.

    Craig, I didn't even knew they existed, I'll have a looksy, cheers. Jim, I have considered a VR6 lump, but I'm not sure I could manage that transplant on me own into a mk1.
  14. The Monk
    Cheers chaps. Dave, if you find one, you get a few beers at the next meet. That goes for everyone btw lol.
  15. The Monk
    That wouldn't be a fuel issue buddy. Like dlea says, get it Vagcom'd.

    I'm sure I'll have this chucked into the wanted area of the market place, but I want to ask the regulars...tony, craig, jim, martin, nige, dave, gav and a whoever else might care, if you could keep your eyes peeled for a mk2 gti 1.8 or 2.0 16v engine. I've had little luck finding any engines on eeebeh or anywhere around the local area and I'm pretty desperate to get my hands on one. I'm not looking to spend thousands either. Maybe up to around 500ish.
  17. The Monk
    Hah, I'd be flattered if that was a good thing Tony. Craig, I've never once broken a mirror lol. Still, the fact that I managed an engine transplant in 3hrs from a newer model is lucky to me...first time....dont nobody tell me MK2 to MK1 is easy....I dare ya..... :@ lol That people would result in copious amounts of farts in your direction at the next and every other meet for a while. 8o| Which reminds me....I'd stay a good few meters from me at all times and only ever make contact through radios lol.....so I don't pass the bad luck thing on, you understand...

    You will not believe it, but 1 of the pistons in my MK1 shot out of the engine block while I was at my college today.... VW *cough*shit*cough*, anyway, just so happens a mk2 1.3 CL was in the workshop as a scrapper.....body and paint had the shell.... and I bought the engine for £20 and in the space of 3hrs had another engine inside.....all by meself I might add...bad luck, then good luck...what's going on in my life lol.
  19. The Monk
    Lol, Didn't encounter green clouds at the pod....maybe I was just lucky. God help ya all when I've drank the night before....toxic
  20. The Monk
