    I got taken by "the ring" version of the VXR. Nice rapid motor! I too use to drive like a bloody loon but then I had kids and my mind set completely changed. Before I would have no fear throwing my car round bends at stupid speeds but then did it a few times after the kids were born. I thought after about never seeing them again and that slowed me down. My car is nice and its quick and its going off the road lol

    Central locking pump incased on a foam case under the off side rear light. It is on its way out. Take the box out and it should look like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MK3-Golf-Central-Locking-Pump-357-862-257-/330466063007?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4cf14ff29f#ht_643wt_905 send me your part number I may have a match.

    Gutted I wanted to get the other 2 rims sorted today and have them all back on the car. But we have no weights to balance the tyres so I need to wait for the tyre place to open tomorrow. Gutted!

    Well the civic is a quick motor and I respect them for it. Its the boys in the Saxo's round here with 14 ton of fibre glass stuck on with sticky back plastic and 12 ton of subs and amps in the boot. They dont need coilovers as the weight of the thing is enough to drop it. I cant stand that lot........... My sister in laws boyfriend has one and the Mrs dropped her off at his in the golf and he told her that GTi wouldnt sit near my Saxo its down to the driver he said. I just laugh at them lol

    I pay for 8 (as its the highest in available in Mid Wales) but I get around 2.5 peak and about 4 off peak. In Belfast I had cable and it was great. My speeds drive me mental when playing Black Ops. WiFi off on all phones NO! Downloading lol I barely let the Mrs do facebook Ha

    Well this is it when I removed it from the vehicle notice the chrome gone completely from the edging. They always had spider webbing around the fake bolts.: This is it after some serious polishing and sanding:- Just followed this guys video burnt a fair bit of fuel in the VR lol

    Well got the DAS 6 kit out the other day and I must say I am pretty impressed with the results. I had to struggle on with the larger pads as the smaller ones arrived 2 days after. Here is a few pics of the results. I will be glad when the poorboys stuff arrives as it came with maggies swirl remover and maggies glaze and wax but I think the finish is goog though:- Also a shot of the new fogs I know I lost a lenso hub cap when I did the PAS pump the other day $60 from the states new but I got one from ebay new £18 delivered such a lucky find only one on there lol

    I ordered my new leads today, I will be fitting yet another set tomorrow hopefully that will sort it.
  21. Dave_ciw
    I did the leads when I replaced the upper guide rails and the tensioner bolt. This only started happening after I did that work so who is to say the leads aren't faulty. Will pop the old ones back on tomorrow and see how we go. Cheers Rob for the input

    I have the same issue if you brake and slow right down say speed bumps, and pull away again you get a slight miss but once up and pottering again its fine??? Happens in every gear. I have checked timing all lines up well replaced guide rails and tensioner bolt, replaced coil pack and leads checked all spark plugs they are nearly new and done a full oil change with filter. All advice on this one appreciated, my head is coming off soon for re construction of the engine and having the chains done so I this is why I am not too bothered.

    I got quoted £800 by VW about 4 years ago so with no mechanical knowledge I started studying the downloadable documents available to premium members on this site and also this http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?4054146-DIY-MKIV-VR6-Headgasket-Replacement-Reinstallation&p=67653596 It is a daunting task but when you do it yourself it feels great
