ive just been reading this post, and ive got a bit of a solution... i run a bit of a import export company from home, and i can get hid lights imported... most of the hids u are seeing on ebay are from china.. ive all ready spoke with one of my suppliers b4, about getting these... i can get any kind of hids use want... if we get some numbers together, see what kind use are wanting.. i can get them no problem..

thanks mate... i just hope this has solved the problem! ill be a very relieved man!

well got my new header tank cap, and its solved the problem, so after spending money on a testing kit a new pump and belt, a £3 cap sorts the lot!! cheers for ur help guys.... its mot time next week... just an other quick question, i have a full system custom exhaust it only has a mid box, no back box or cat... will the car pass without the cat? ive got one on my gti, can i just swap them over?
-
i see.. the cap is really stiff to get of, some times i need a pair of grips to get it of...well i ordered one of ebay, i hope it is this, as its really starting to hack me of, im still replacing the pump though
-
its not actually coming out of the cap, its on the side of the header tank, i have a plastic cover, that i can remove and there seems to be 2 holes on the side of the tank..
-
black plastic i think

just a little update, i bought a block tester kit, did the test and the blue liquid stays blue, ive reap-ted the test 3 times... just to make sure.. i can let the car tick over all night and it wont overheat, or loose water, but as soon as i take it for a drive, i start loosing water through the header tank on the side where the plastic cover is... i dont know if this is supposed to happen, but the return pipe that comes into the header tank is constantly flowing water into the header tank... im going to change the water pump this weekend, i noticed the coil pack was sparking when damp, and i

no i checked that a month ago, and i cleaned the inside of the at the weekend.. bone dry, the smell is only when the heaters are on hot, and its just for a short period of time...
-
right, also, if the heaters have been on cold for a while, then i turn them to hot, there is a smell that comes through the vents, for a short period of time... it smell exactly the same, as the rusty coloured water in my header tank...

im in glenrothes, if i was to take it to the garage, if it was head gasket.. what kind of price am i looking at? i dont drive the car much, maybe once or twice a week, on a few occasions, if the car has sat for a few days, there seems to be a lack of power, like its missing, but after a few Min's it fine... i had the same problem with my gti.. so never really thought much of it..

yeah there is star performance, but the difference between getting it done for nothing any paying lots of money, i hear what ur saying, but i do have full confidence in him... plus his best mate is a top mechanic, and im sure if he got stuck, he would lend a hand..
-
when i say hes good with cars, i wouldn't say hes up to the standard of a mechanic, but he knows how to sort head gaskets etc... whats involved on a sniff test?
-
sniff test??? is this a compression test ?

i have owned my mk3 vr6 for 3 months now, i topped the coolant up 2 months ago, but after 100 miles the warning light was back on, i inspected the engine bay, and found a rusty water residue on the sump, beneath the water pump... i ordered a new pump, and a friend was meant to fit it.. but hes still not got round to it... so every 100 miles or so, ive had to top up the coolant, but today, i topped up the coolant, and after a 6 mile journey, i was walking away from the car, when i noticed water poring out from the header tank, so i filled it up with water, checked my oil cap, and for the first
