  1. Had exactly the same problem with my 8v, but it only happened every now and again. Had an auto leccy look at it and he said it might be the imobiliser. Never got round to repairing it though...
  2. Did you need planning permission for that haha good work
  3. Good man! I shall try them when my renewal comes up cheers
  4. Apparently, speed cameras and ANPR have trouble logging plates that appear genuine. So, font changes must be impossible for them. Not that that concerns anyone |-)
  5. If your doing short, slow journeys into town then the mpg is terrible. But on the open road, long distance journeys the mpg is pretty good I've noticed. 150k km (93k miles) is nothing as well. I'd get one Paul while you're still young and no commitments. You won't be sorry!
  6. Pos Order my new catback exhaust next week Neg Just know there are going to be problems fitting it
  7. yeah, looks like one of the pipes are designed to absorb the sound rather than the extra box
  8. As far as I can tell resonated is quieter than non-resonated. What's the difference?
  9. Mine didn't stay shiny for long. Patches of rust started to appear :-(
  10. Cheers people, twin it is then. I agree with GaVR6in's comment. Now, I'm unsure about resonated or non-resonated. What's the difference?
  11. Twin looks to be the winner then... Any close-ups mate?
  12. Which looks least chavvy for a MK3 Golf, the twin 80mm tail pipes or the 2" oval one? I'm almost certain I'll get the twin, as the other one reminds me of the bean can style you see on Corsas, Fiestas, etc. What do you think? If anyone has any photos to use for comparison that would be great!
  13. ;( I don't think these wheels were meant to be haha Thanks sharky for drawing that out for us. Not sure what the next step is then. Do I still try them on, just to see?
  14. Oops! The sellers asked me for measurements and everything. I've told him what wheels I need to fit to what car and it seems to be okay so far. May be he does both spacers and adapters? Nevermind ay. I'll just get the H&R ones from venom if all goes to pot!
  15. Just bought these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370305882251 So hopefully getting an email soon asking for measurements! Cheers again for your help people! Another question... I hear it's an MOT failure if they are too far out from the arch?
  16. they are 8.5J... so I guess really thick spacers aren't necessary?
  17. the offset is 13? Not sure where to look for that? They're ET13 if that helps?
  18. Think I'll get the hubcentric ones, cheers for that sambo! Just out of curiosity, what thickness did your bro go for? I'm not sure whether to go the full 35mm - not sure how it will look...
  19. Hey people, just got some great looking bbs wheels off egay. I'm just stuck about finding the right wheel adapters though. The car is 5/100 I believe and the wheels are 5/120. I've seen your recommendations on previous posts such as H&R, but where do you get them? Cheers!
  20. I want to get my VR6 lowered. I've managed to find someone to fit the springs for me but I have to source the parts. I've found these on eBay... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-Golf-VR6-Coilover-lowering-springs-shock-kit-741000_W0QQitemZ290342322842QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item4399c0429a&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14#ht_2723wt_1116 is that all I need do you reckon?
