If you think there is a cd stuck in it, do a search on LOC and look for how to remove your cd player, then take a few screws out of the top to remove the cover and remove the cd yourself!! That way its free!! Chris

Ok guys, when i first got home....4weeks ago i bought a game from an ebayer, i paid as i always do straight away via pay pal. I have now sent a few emails to the person asking where the game is. I got a reply of i forgot to go to the post office and send it....ok....but after 4weeks this person has either got a very short memory span or is just doing it to p me off!! Has any one else had this, and if so how do i go about reclaiming my money? I know it was only 7quid, but im in a foul mood anyway and just want either money or game!! I still have not posted feedback for them, but i have just sent a demanding email off to them!! Cheers Chris

I have just purchased the Prolex manifold, when i come to change it will i be needing a new gasket? Is there anythin else that i will be needing to change? I cant wait to get it on the car to see how it sounds, and the change in power....if there is any?? Of coarse this wont be happening till its been in for its 80k service and cam belt change (thursday)!! *** its an expensive week :shutit: Chris

Well today was the day guys, 11am this mornin i was sat infront of the examiner i didnt think that i was too nervous to start with, then the questions started, i was fine for the first one but he then kept askin if i was sure and i was like yeah i am, so after that my nerves got the better of me then i started to shake and tryin to draw diagrams and sketches of fuel pumps and air start systems with a shakey hand and the thought that you were doing it wrong just threw me right out and i :tsktsk: up!! In the end i got the restult that i got some of it right and some of them wrong but an over all FAIL..... :tsktsk: :tsktsk: :tsktsk: £180 for my next exam which i can take in 2weeks!! I shouldve really been on the **** tonight but decided to pig out on a chinese!!! Anyway im still ****** off!!!

Ive resorted to somethin about buffalos!!!

Thats how far the lights stick out mate, i have removed the sticky bits that came with it and bought thinner ones, it dont stick out as much but still does lol

There not actually carbon mate, its just a design on it. As for peeling it depends on how well the painter prep's them first....

Alright mate, Well ive had 2 Golfs, the Mk2 and the Mk3, the Mk3 was pretty standard, the only problems i had was....the Master break cylinder went, was quite fun to slow down when i found out that it had went lol. Just after i sold it the alternator blew up :shutit: oh yeah the starter motor failed on it. I think that was about it for the Mk3!!! As for the Mk2, i dont think this one really counts as it had so much done to it, but anyway, the main problem for these were the Heater Matrix leaking into the Footwells, the other problems i had with this was due to the moddin it had done to it :winky: But being VW mate, i would recomend them, i was a fully fledged VW man before i went Jap. Ive been lookin into buyin another Mk2 golf.....but i wouldnt be gettin rid o the Lex!!! Chris

Sorry to hear mate, Yeah us engineers were also once on the same pay scale but not anymore!! Are you Marine Engineer by any chance? Try goin to Maersk if thats any help, there after engineers!! Chris

Fitted. :D ......wow what a difference!! Im sat in the car typing this right now using it to rest my arm on haha!!! Chris

Well unfortunatly it aint brand new, but when i opened it up the leather is in fantastic condition with no scratches or anything on it, the guy i bought it from also has put a 12v socket in the plastic felted area (under the rest) ( i dont know if they come with it but he said he'd fitted it seperately. And for this i paid 80quid!! Nope i aint fitted it just yet, aint ad the time today, been busy with estate agents :o

Ebay is my friend :P if your not fast ur last, and was on a buy me now!!!

Looking nice mate, as for a market, theres one for everything!!!

Well this morning i was woken by the post man with another new thing for my car......i cant believe i managed to get a hold of a leather center arm rest for such a good price, the only problem is that i dont have the leather interior to go with it so when i do get around to fitting it its gonna look a little outta place but i dont care cos i'll be able to chill with my arm rest :P Chris

Alright there mate, Im running 18's with a 7.5=et42, i was told on the phone that they would fit no problem, the rears do, but the front needed a 3mm spacer on there!!! They still fit and look well....the dish on them is about 2 - 2.5 inch deep if thats any help mate!! Chris

Alright guys, Ok it started not that long ago, i can hear a rattle coming from the engine bay, ive opened up the bonnet (good start) and have sorced it to what i think is the throttle linkage, when i open the throttle then close it quickly it seems to either rattle or get stuck well not quite stuck just very jerky, as if when its closing the last part it sticks.....anyway it aint right!! I can also feel it in the car too when its cold, if i accelerate then take my foot off the peddle the car jerks and just dont feel right. What i need to know is.....does this sound like something that can be free'd up if taken apart or does it sound like an expensive trip to the garage? Cheers for your help Chris

Its easy for your car to pass a MOT........just stick someone elses on the test bench when ur doing the test :o not that ive done it

One word mate......Swine!!!! Im so jealous, why did i have to dissapear to sea when they came on special offer and then for them to be sold out when i got back Chris

Yeah £180, i was quated 120 but that guy has his on and off days, i was wantin the repair to be good so i went to someone who have had their cars painted by and he is £180. There is a slight dent in my quarter that needs pushing out and prob a bit of bodge in there then painting. I didnt go thro insurance cos i've just started to pay less and didnt want a claim!!

Happy Birthday Guys, all the best
