  1. I reckon it was primarily for aero purposes, the foam was probably stuck on as an afterthought for deadening.
  2. Lol, why does my car swallow washers and sundries if I drop something in the bay? I spent longer than necessary looking for a washer the other day. It had vanished completely, no sign of it whatsoever! [emoji15]
  3. sounds like you've been watching wheeler dealers cabbs! [emoji23]
  4. Yeah, it might be a sticky calliper, mines makes a bit of binding noise when I turn left too
  5. I'd say that was due to your brake discs, mine do the same.
  6. Good pics kelly, we'll get some more in the sunshine on Sunday! [emoji41]
  7. No, I'd say not. N/a vr's I think can make up to 260hp but that's had the works done to it!
  8. Post pics up after the clean up gt, I'll see wether I fancy it! [emoji41]
  9. Lmao, I don't need any more ffs! [emoji23]
  10. Pukka cook, there's the info I was after. I've just got to find a local metal firm to make me one! [emoji106]
  11. Where's the dislike button?! [emoji23]
  12. Any sludge in the oil? Sometimes the oil coolers give way. Check your pollen filter too, is it wet? The scuttle panel at the bottom of the screen might be letting water past and into the pollen filter housing, hence adding steam to the windows, not clearing it.
  13. Has anyone had any success with pattern aftermarket front wings on their golf? The time is getting close for me to replace the wings on the green goddess and I've heard some dreadful things about quality issues. In an ideal world I'd be buying genuine which I will do if they're cheap enough. My main concern for genuine parts will be for the nothelle a bit later in the year. Anyone with any ideas?
  14. New Pistons at circa £200 a set and labour the same! Just typical vr costs really! [emoji23] To be fair tim'll only replace what needs replacing. It was only rebuilt 30k miles ago.
  15. Really odd, it's got a standard exh. manifold?! The head is definitely bv ported and flowed plus cams by schrick. As you say, he'll probs do the leak down first. He was keen to get a new set of plugs in though?! He said, it's not dreadful, hence the service I suppose?!
  16. Its having a full service next visit and tim is going to go through all the vacuum hoses etc to make sure they're all ok, remove the lpg system which should never have been fitted and perform a leak down test. I'll also be praying to anyone that'll listen that the work done this visit will increase the compression on the cylinder that's been bore washing. Then probs the 3rd visit will be a strip down and rebuild of the engine as required! [emoji30]
  17. 353mm across manifold by 90mm depth at the mounting 63mm at downpipe 44mm branch pipes 50mm intermediate pipes Approx 710mm total length from manifold to downpipe flange. Hope that helps. [emoji106]
  18. Same as mine by the looks of it. I'll measure up now
  19. I'll check mine out for you when I get home
  20. I've seen a metal one of those on eBay recently and I think 42 draft designs produce one too.
  21. You have ignition lights. You have a new switch. Will the car bump start? And have you cleaned those earths up yet? It's not a jammed starter I hope! That would be far too simple...... Wouldn't it?!
