    Nice bit of work done there, and an interesting plate - reminds me of one I saw on a Ford Ka once P155 MOP ^o)

    I've found that auto boxes rarely get better, usually they play up more and more and then don't work much. No way would I spend £1200 on a refurb, no matter how well done. Can I suggest that you put up with it for as long as possible whilst saving up for a replacement VR, autos are cheap enough - although some joker (I mean optimist) has got one up on ebay for £4995 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Volkswagen-Golf-VR6-Highline-5dr-auto-full-v-1996-P-/290715096491?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item43aff855ab#ht_1107wt_1185) - What symptoms have you got/did you have?

    It's International Fibromyalgia Awareness Day today; Unfortunately I've got this chronic pain and fatigue syndrome and it 'sucks' big time. A couple of links, and one from the local paper running the story; http://www.ukfibromyalgia.com/what-is-fm.html UKFibromyalgia http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Fibromyalgia/Pages/Introduction.aspx NHS Choices http://www.thisiswiltshire.co.uk/news/9701110.Sufferer_wants_more_people_to_realise_devastating_impact_of_illness/ Wiltshire News Hopefully the more people who are aware this condition the less will think it's 'all in your head', and 'you look fine so

    Autoglass are worth a call so they can do their liquid injection thing before the windscreen crack gets any worse - for nowt!

    What's the paypal address for this one as the link doesn't work for me on chrome. Thanks.

    You are one seriously lucky person to get away with that one! Hope you're well or getting better, and that no one else was involved. No seatbelt - with your record!?

    I've seen a video of a factory with 16,000 employees taking their 20 minute afternoon nap, altogether, at the same time, at their workstations. Scary.

    I'd love to come along but can't guarantee it, so can I go down as a maybe? btw there's a VW dealership round the corner, they might be interested in a carp load of vrs' turning up, I can have a word with them if you like to see if they can lay on a freebie or two.

    I've got Virgins TIVO box and it's brilliant, 3 tuners 500gb storage and internet (really useful if someone else is on the PC) plus it learns your preferences and recommends stuff you wouldn't have noticed otherwise. There's also free calls to virgin mobiles on the phone package - which is nice. Only downside is the have to dig up whatevers between you and the nearest node to lay the cable, and drill holes in your walls to get the hub to where you want it.

    Top site and top feller David Thorne - I think he's an Aussie. I saw his epic missing cat posters a year or so ago and have been following the site since - very good stuff.

    Ireland? Horses? Cars?..... There can only be one tune - not for kids - but brilliant.

    Was trading the horses all day and watched that race. Zaralabad won after drifting to around 30-1 on betfair pre-off. Didn't notice the motors tho.

    BBC 1 8pm Poor feller had the wrong plates, massive blue smoke plume, illegal tinted windows he'd been warned about, but managed to put on an Alice in Wonderland DVD for the kids as he was pulled up, lol.

    Try disconnecting the battery for a while, some say 20 minutes will do - overnight if possible. Then let it idle for 15 minutes without touching the pedals. Did this to mine and it was like a new motor was put in afterwards. Cheapest way first, then check levels if you've got a dipstick (I don't think later cars have them tho), get the ATF and filter changed, or replace unit with a good one from a breaker (£100+ ish) or have it reconditioned - pricey £500+.

    Make sure your in 'P' for park otherwise it won't start. In 02 just means it needs a service (two really ino1 & ino2).
