  2. Thanks for this just followed link unfortunately can't find front right for the mk3, could u pos send the product no. Sorry thanks again for the help
  3. My drivers side window just gave up the other day with no warning.The strange thing is when ideling if i press it i hear a little click and engine dips a bit, up or down. I have read other post but every one says they can hear sounds from the window trying to move but i hear nothing except the single click noise from the switch area. Please can some one help or advice me on any tests to do. Also one final this my alarm has a function were if the car is locked and unlock the windows open 5 inches and does not do it on drivers side ruling out switch in my oppion. Thanks
  4. I take it the one from halfords is water proof?
  5. Was thinking about getting a car cover but have heard some can scratch when it is windy. Any one has any comment would be appriated .
  6. Does any one know were I can buy a alarm bonnet contact, the difficulty I'm having is it has two contacts which is a older system. I want a desect one if possible. Any helped welcome thanks
  7. I am after set of black mk4 style head ights but i can only find lhd from venom and was wondering if there is a way of convering them or if any one can point me in the directin of were to buy them?
  8. Just a qick note re that buzzing when ignition is turned on, i took off the tb sensor and put it back on and buzzing has gone as i thought i had never heard it. May be it was not seated quite right just thought i would mention it so you may want to have a look at yours?
  9. right to put a cap on this thread, you lot was wright gsf leads are crap they was on propperly but did not make good connection causing misfiring ect. dubpower very kindly sent me a single lead and they work great and for only £30 just concerned as they are a bit longer and i think may cause problems with schrick bending them over. Thanks all for help
  10. Cheers mate will keep trying tonight. What is the tb? Never noticed the noise before.
  11. I have just bought some bbt leads from gsf and when fitting them they dont seem to go on tightly so much so i can pull them off with out tool really easly. I have tried using the removing tool to push the top of the cap but it seems to get stuck and ends up pulling it off. Please help. Also since one of the spark plugs broke when i turn on the ignition there is a faint buzzing stops after a few sec but think it starts again when i start engine .Started after disconecting batterie (could be some thing to do with immobiliser) but your the experts. Thanks
  12. Does that b and m short shift shorten the throws of each gear shift? ( sorry if it's a stupid question) and do they make a big dfference in speeding up gear changes?
  13. Just thought I would put in my input, had my schrick and shimmel cams fitted by gwerks and asked about a remap and was told it was not needed as the ecu will learn and adjust after 30 od miles. I read loads of people saying I would not get full benefit unless I had a remap, at the end of the day gwerks are experts and they know best.
  14. Cool I thought as much, what sort of power gains did u get from them?
  15. I don't usually doubt gwerks but just wanted to see what you guys think. Whilst getting a shrick manifold fitted also plan on getting cams done and Darren recommended 263 what do you lot recon bearing in mind the car is a daily and I don't want it spluttering when idling.
  16. After all my greef with my rusty sills ( jacking points) my Mot mechanic also pointed out the drain gromets have rusted. He said this was nothing to worry about I want to sort it out, was thinking about treat the rust and plate over them but was wondering if they are worth keeping. Also any one got any pics of work done on the underside
  17. Just to update got the rust cut out and welded up by my Mot station, he did me a deal for £120 which I didn't think was to bad and no need for putty lol. Just goes to show book ur car in for Mot asap so you don't have to rush around if you have a problem.
  18. have you used them? and any more out there as would like a couple of options incase one does not have time to do it.
  19. my vr failed its mot the other day due to some one jacking up the car badly and i believe slpitting the floor plan from the sill. so i need to find some one to weld the jacking piont so it can pass the mot but i would realy like to find some were tomorrow if pos as have until the 19th before mot expires. If any one can recomend some one in north london (north tottenham) i would realy appriate it. Thanks
