    In about 10 years of driving I have only had four cars; Peugeot 106 Escapade - could leave anything at the lights until you put it in second! Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec black three door - glued to the road! VW Mk4 GTTDI 110 Dragon Green - great cruiser VW VR6 Dragon Green - current motor. If I could put the handling of the focus with the engine from the VR then it would be the perfect car!!! cheers

    I have rust in exactly the same place mate on my dragon green so it is interesting to see the quotes you are getting. I take it that patch above the windscreen is a common VR6 spot??? Cheers

    Guys Does the club have any established discount schemes with any of the main detailing suppliers like cleanyourcar or serious performance?? Seems like we are a big enough club now to get some sort of discount from these great sites.

    Saunders thanks for the reply. its a real shame that the Edinburgh branch dont do over the counter because there are no other good motor factors in the area, the nearest gsf is 60miles away and a pain in the backside to get too. the only other option is EuroCarParts. There arent any special ways that I can persuad them to sell to me are there? cheers tim

    cheers guys, i think I am going to ignore Ben's pleas and have a go at cleaning it up. the dark (and shiny) side is calling!

    Has anyone used Carlube 10W40 SemiSynthetic oil out of EuroCarParts? There isnt a gsf near me and tps only deal with trade. cheers tim

    Believe it or not, im rapidly coming round to that idea!!!! haha tim

    Here is a BAD photo showing the crappy exhaust.

    to be honest mate, i am not sure whether it is stainless. it is just the standard one that came on the car. i take it you mean the yellow spong top and rough green bottom scouring pads rather than a brillo pad? I might give this a go and see what happens, nothing ventured! cheers

    Haha good stuff Gav and Nat thanks for the advice, I will get along to Halfords at the weekend!

    As the subject line suggests, I have an old and rusty standard exhaust and I was just wondering if there is anyway to bring it back to life and possibly get it a bit shinier?? I hear that Gav is the man for exhaust shining, judging by his Corrado?? Cheers

    unfortunately I just gave them a ring and they said that they are trade only. said I had to go to the local Western Volkswagon to get parts. I take it that GSF is the next best alternative? cheers

    yeah good be a bit of that because it did get quite a heavy foot straight from cold!
  24. twoscoops
    Normally when I get into the car, I take it easy until it has got up to temperature. Yesterday, I pulled out of my parking space and pushed it a little bit to hard straight from cold, put it into second and it felt like it died a bit. it sounded really rough like it wasnt firing on all cyclinders. I tried to get it to move in second and it almost felt like it banged a bit. I pulled over and it was only just ticking over. Switched it off and left it for a second and then started again. Still felt rough but as soon as it got back up to temperature, it was fine again. Anyone got any thought

    guys might be a stupid question but how hard is it to remove the manifold? and replace it? what needs to be done?
