    If I won the lottery, I'd have a huge car collection. All the cars I never owned but wanted. Mk1, mk2, mk3 mulberry highline to name but a few! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ok, I've just realised you're US gallon is smaller than a U.K. gallon. That's why you're getting 23 mpg as opposed to 25.65 when I calculated it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    did you refill on the red? Vr has a 55 litre tank and will always have 4 litres or so left in the tank on empty. If you did your 282 miles to 50 litres that would equate to 25.65 mpg. My vr must be abnormal then, I regularly get good mpg figures, even pottering about. Perhaps I ought to check it's got 6 cylinders! LolSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    240 miles? That would make me cry...... Unless it was a trackday! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Redex, stp, forte, Lucas, wynns are some manufacturers I can think of and I expect there's many more. Some of these are available at local motor factors and halfrauds. All help to clear deposits built up in the combustion chambers and can restore lost hp's, some have octane booster too. (See fifth gear's corrado episode for results of injector cleaner) I think that clip is on our video section somewhere. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    My mates metro used to spark at night where it was so low and it hit the floor repeatedly. That would probably be a sleeper these days. Another mate used to have a montego, he took the back seats out and put a couple of 18" subs in. That car put up with loads of abuse it did, it was leagues ahead of his yugo zastava though!

    Blimey, that's only 22-25mpg tops. I get 27-37 out of mine, it's only when the car doesn't warm up that it gets dreadful economy. Get an injector cleaner through it a take it for a run somewhere, that would be a low cost action that you could try to improve mpg with. That + empty some lead out of your right shoe. :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Yep, I agree, they're a good crowd on here although sometimes the wit is missed? The maestro turbo had to be the worst car ever to come from tickford! As you say, very cheap power, torque steer all over the place and now they're like rocking horse poop. My mate had a metro turbo, ex cup race car. That thing was stupid quick and would take on most cars on the rd even now, ran out of wind about 90 though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    It's possible if it's the 1275cc engine that you could also find what you're looking for on that Other BL favourite, the maestro...... I actually saw one the other day, how bad were they? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Yeah, blonde hair and horns on their helmets! Can't beat a good Viking woman, thrash you down the drag strip and arm wrestle you when you get to the pub! Perfect! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Have a look on manufacturers website and you might find that they list only 1 set for all gti and vr6 and a different set for lesser models. I've got weitec shocks and eibach springs fitted this week, they were off a 16v and I'm really pleased with the way the car drives. As marneus says, give em a go! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    There's a set on eBay at £140 bin price. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I can once again recommend schilwards of gt Leigh's Essex, I realise it's a bit of a trek for you but I highly rate them. I use them for all 4 of my vehicles. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How much better does my golf look? Finally got my weitec/ eibach 40mm lowering combo fitted. It drives better than I thought it would but I reckon it'll be up for some wishbone bushes before too long. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thanks Pete, he sounds like a handy fella to know. I don't need any work done currently but he will be top of my list when I do. Where's he based? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. Bealieboy
    Oh right, that's not too dreadful. Is tony the fella that's often recommended on here by others? As you say, at least the vr is all up and running again. Enjoy! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Blinding, glad the vr is up and running again. If you don't mind sharing, what was the cost for the HG work? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
