Sweet cheers buddy

Check the fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir, if it's not that it will be a bad/loose/broken connection on the wear pad sensors, you can either repair or disable it by soldering the wires together and seal with heatshrink.The loom can breakdown between the pad sensor and the connector further...

Hi all my brake pad warning light just,flashed up but as the pics below show there's loads of meat on them still How do I sort this and is it gunna cost much Cheers http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb439/sam_rscab/20131208_144916_zps07734dc5.jpg http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb439/sam_rscab...

I agree the wheels are not to everyones tastes buy if we all liked the same thing what a boring world it would be.

I like the rims its just weather they will suit a b5.5

Cheers mate the chap i getting them off soad he get spacers and extra long bolts/nuts for fronts to bring out to match rears

Looking good mate nice and shiney,youve got a fair list of stuff you want done,makes me want to carry on my search for some leathers, Keep it up mate Thanks buddy yeh keep searchong i may even look into cost or retrim as seats that are in it are so comfy so may look at those beong retrimmed instead...

Looks clean mate :-bd I have to say in my opinion, I'm not digging the speccy glittery wheels. Looks a bit cheap and nasty but hey ho its your car and its your call! Just having a think what other colours they'd look good in - maybe a darkish colour like Anthracite against the light bluey silver......

Really worth getting rid of a car cos of that ?? Just replace and carry on looking after the car Agreed As saidin the past every car has its issues is it really worth getting rid for the sake of replacing some thing and then having a reliable motor??? If we all got rid everytime got a problem thar ...

I have a b5.5 far from perfect but it my little project that I will work on making mint As for b6 my brother has one and I think it's a lovely moter and he had no real issues touch wood I believe if you look after your car it will look after you As for everything else I say make sure you get a good ...
