I've got some Highline door cards to fit to my VR6 I thought the wiring for the "puddle" lights would be part of the "normal" VR6 door loom, but it's not Is there something I can wire them to in the door or do I need door looms from a Highline?

extremeautoaccessories.co.uk let me down on these I'm afraid The couple of times I managed to get hold of someone that had a clue what I had ordered I got the line "I'll have to ring you back" No-one's there has ever rang me back They don't respond AT ALL to emails Rang them yesterday (over a month after I ordered the ducts) & they said "We can't get them anymore & will have to refund you"

if you wern't driving a dub.................

If I was driving a non VW it would be a Clio 16v or a Williams 1........ had a 16v for a couple of months, then got a mk2 Golf 16v...... liked the the Clio more than the Golf :-# Done that......... never again £1500 on the car........ £3000 on parts......... about 1300 miles while I owned it spent most of the time on the drive waiting for parts & leaking oil everywhere -

in the Golf mag a few years back there was a picture from a German show of a mk3 Polo with a VR6 in the front so it's possible, but i'd think the sump would be very close to the ground plus the front suspension on mk3 Polo's (& mk1 & mk2) is rubbish would be a LOT of work ...... mk4 Polo (6N) would be far easier a diesel could be a good starting point.... they have "big block" engines were as the petrol car's use "small block" engines that can trace their history back to the Audi 50's 900cc engine mk4 Polo saloon would be even better....... they use the same front end as the Caddy van

i'll be putting this up FOR SALE in early to mid March reason is....... too many car's mk1 Golf Driver goes on the road in March........ Gold mk1 Golf trackday car needs to be done....... & i've also got an other project car that will be quicker than the VR (top secret at the mo, will appear mid March) not sure what price the VR will be yet....... will still be pretty cheap paint & dents on the drivers side doors will be done...... so will passenger side wing may even paint the bonnet & spare tailgate .... if anyone wants it "as is" or without the Hella twins/Red rears i'll do it c

i wonder if the 1350bhp Veyron be quickest round TG track
-
looking for the best gain in power per £ ....... i bought the car with one of these fitted i've replaced one of the "cones" with a Raid cone....... i'd use the Raid cone by it's self but its a bit small in my opinion exhaust is staying standard as i'm planning some trackdays that have a 98db noise limit i can get hold of a standard airbox if a "K&N" panel filter will do the job i can make up a heat sheild if needed for a cone filter i'd rather not stretch the budget to a Carbon CDA thingy Ta, Paul

ingham & zorro are right i think either gearbox end needs adjustment....... or is worn i broke this bit & lost reverse, 1st & 2nd
-
MOT passed not first time, needed rear drivers side caliper, rear drivers side handbrake cable & rear drivers side tyre robbed a caliper off a Ibiza Cupra Sport that Matt's breaking, handbrake cable was £15 (ish) & stuck 2 near new Firestone's on back (£60 off eBay, 200 miles on them) .... central locking has been playing up....... sometime wasn't locking at all swapped the pump thingy in the boot & it's works first time now....... i wasn't expecting an easy fix ....
