Re: WEST COUNTRY/CORNISH AREA UKP MEET

There is a great pub just up the road from exeter services,can't remember the name but used to go there when I was a member of migweb.
Will try and find its name.
Sundays are best for me.

Re: Amp install.. power cable route

I drilled a hole just to the nearside of the aircon grommet mentioned above as my car has air con.This also comes out behind the glovebox,so it's easy to run the power cable to the rear of the car.I used 4 gauge and had no problems running it.

Rear Door Electrics Help Needed

For a few weeks the osr door central locking hasn't worked and I noticed today that the electric window isn't working either.This makes me think that the two may be one fault.Is there anything I should check? Is there a common earth point for that door?

thanks

Recall 40G3

Whilst starting to fit my ice today I found a sticker in the spare wheel well,next to the main factory sticker.The sticker is from my local main dealer and has recall 40G3 written on it.Does anyone know what this recall is?
The car is a 99 1.8 estate.

Re: Something to replace the B5

Rob,you could always buy my golf!! tony That all depends on how much you want for it, and whether it's a GTI or not? the idea of the Polo was that I can pick one up for around £500 and it's cheap to maintain and uber cheap on insurance. yep it's a Gti mk3 8v 5 door,standard apart from a k&n in...

Your car is both a 3B and a B5.

I started my own version of the COAM mod today.I started with some black 67mm downpipe which I have fixed to the bottom part of the airbox.It's position took a while because I have angled it so the feed pipe will miss the a/c condenser.The reason I have added this pipe,rather than feed the air feed ...
