  1. Idle is absolutely fine it was all over the place for about half hour then stuck on800 been fine since. I was told u can smooth the ramps but do not remove any material or it will never idle again! So that's what I did. I concentrated more on other areas like the shaft an disc, removing excess screw thread an countersinking the heads. I then removed material from anywhere that wasn't the peak of the ramp or around the throttle disc. Before I did this the car felt sluggish when flooring it from low speeds. It definitely snaps alto more now but not annoyingly so. I've yet to venture further wit
  2. Oh an also the reason it drives fine for first 5 mins will be because it's running q warm up map until engine is up to temp I believe
  3. Vag com be the answer here. But also where the maf etc New.or used parts. Reason I asked is because I replaced mine an it turned out to be another dud
  4. Daverse thats both evil and genius!!! I told her that it was an investment into the future as I was bound to need new tyres at some point as the ones on the car are nearly worn out....there not even close...;-)
  5. I took pics of the two best ones lol. One had slow puncture in the side wall. An the other the beading was torn. Guys at tire garage showed me so I knew they wasn't trying it on. Tbh that is £200 in total. So I prob should not. Moan to much. Just have to explain to the mrs where 200 quid went now oops
  6. Seems I'm not as lucky as I thought. Two of tyres are knackered so it's cost me £200 lol.

  13. Lol. Ka drivers seem to be some of the worst. I had a girl clip my front bumper an drive off at a petrol station about a month ago. Luckily no damage just light scuff.

  16. White line on my passenger door. But it looks like it will t cut out tbh, my car has its fair share of scratches it's by no means a minter. But it's still my pride an joy! As the Mrs knows if it ever comes to the car or her..she knows where the suitcase is haha
  17. Parked up at Tesco for five minutes an some old man an his Mrs decide they have to park next to me an obviously leave a gap to small to open there door properly. I'm not sure if they didn't notice me sitting in my car or just didn't care but after nudging my car door with her door twice her fat backside an then her hand bag I'd had enough. I recently quit smoking too just to add to the fury. I wound down the window an gave them absolute he'll which I do not wish to repeat.(to the point I feel a little bad now as I didn't mean to scare them) I'm so carefully never to damage anyone else's car.
  18. My mother scares.the hell out of me an I been in the car with so proper maniacs. It's like she drives an expects all other road users to give way. Scary stuff
