Well its been a bit quiet on the car front,lack of time and cash. Ive managed to nearly finish one wheel,just got to give it a spit and polish,then see if i can post the pic. Its not as fantastic as some of the rims on here,but its my hard work and i like the way its turned out. Once the wheels are ...

I believe its fuse 33(blue one,think its 15amp)
Someone else might be along in a mo to varify that or possibly to correct me.

Mine would be as follows?

1 Audi rs6 avant,deep blue and tricked(for me daily)
2 Audi rs4 avant(for me fishing stuff)
3 Aston Martin DB9
4 Charger(same as the dukes of hazzard)
5 Ferrari F40

Evening all,does anybody know where i can get some stone chip protectors for my car. The ones im talking about are on the rear wheel arch at the front(if that makes sense). There is a piece of moulding that screws into the wheel arch which the protector is underneath. Looks like water has got undern...

Nothing to report really,the alloy's are taking an age to re-furb but are coming along slowly.I sanded down the headlights and got rid of the haze and light scratches that were present,now i can see. Changed the sidelight bulbs. Someone nicked my vw badge on the front(just the silver badge and nothi...

Does it have a 4 pin electrical connection on it and a clip? If it has sounds like the coolant temp sensor which is where mine is leaking. Someone else might be able to help.

Ok thanks for the reply. I take it that no coolant is supposed to come out of the sensor then.
Would i be right in saying that it should get rid of the judder and perhaps run better as well.

Afternoon all,wonder if someone can help.Ive noticed for a while now that my car has been a bit juddery when i pull away from cold,once ive drove a few miles it seems ok,if a little sluggish perhaps. Ive also noticed that i seem to be loosing a small amount of coolant from the exspansion tank. Ive h...

Hi all,my rear passenger dooor doesnt lock/unlock with the key fob or by using just the key.I can open the door by releasing the grab handle to make the button go up,then open the door either from the inside/or outside. Now im assuming that the lock is kaput or its one of its components. I dont real...

Mine has been doing something similar for a long time and i think mine is the turbo wastegate rod as it seems to move quite a bit. I can move the rod a fair bit which i dont think is supposed to happen(i obviously tried when the engine was cold,i could just get my fingers in). I havent got round to ...

Hi all,im in the process of re-furbing some audi aero alloys to go on me car,so far i have mirror polished the faces,which took ages and resprayed the inserts a contrasting colour.I still need to go over it again so before i keep doing the same bits twice,heres my question. Obviously the paint needs...

Can anyone help?????

Morning all,ive got factory fitted xenon's and the HEADLIGHT WASHERS aren't working? The washer fluid is topped up,the washers are supposed to work when the lights are on and the screen washers are operating,but alas mine arent. I believe there is a relay that operates them but im unsure where its l...

Ive finished already, dec 16th at 2pm to be precise,dont go back til jan 4th. Loads of time off.
Hope everyone has a good crimbo!!

Afternoon all,does anybody want to earn some beer tokens,by looking at my car for me? My turbo actuator rod seems loose and appears to rattle.It would be better if someone would travel to me,rather than me to them,coz the car would be hot. If anyone is willing to do this i would be grateful,i suspec...

This is not a big list compared to some,but there are some odd cars in it. Mk3 ford escort estate 1.3(with xr3i alloys,interior etc) 83 plate Volvo 360 glt( 2 litre)85 plate Volvo 340 gl Renault 5 gt turbo(scorpion full system)85 plate Rover 220 coupe 95 plate Volvo v40 estate t4(200 bhp)(got writte...

The plastic caps are for the dipped beam not the main beam.In the haynes manuel it states to remove headlight to replace full beam bulbs. Is there an easier way,mine are proper xenons.
Cheers.

Thanks for the reply mate,seems that the headlight needs to be removed to change the bulbs? What a pants design.

Evening all,i believe i have factory fitted xenons.The sidelight bulbs are pants and dont appear very bright,and the full beam seems quite yellow compared to the dipped. Are there any replacement/brighter bulbs for the sidelights and full beam bulbs?
Cheers.

Think i saw your motor on the cartgate link road in the week,was going to do a spotted,but wasn't sure it was yours.
Looked low and mean though.
Regards to the rims though,how about silver faces and colour code the lips?
Perhaps someone could photoshop some different combo's.

Well done mate,nice motor!!!
It certainly gives us some inspiration.

Just a quick update,not much really,ive colour coded the front badge,and given a clay and polish.Got some 16" areo's to go on when ive finished re-furbing them.
I will try and get some pics up. Ive got to tackle the interior at some point but the weather is pants now.

Thanks people! I think i will go for the vw emblem option as was suggested,now i need to try and find some which are hopefully cheap and the right size.
Cheers

Hi thats the exact alloys that ive got. That might well be an option if i cant get any others.
Can you remember what the diameter was for the badge?
Many thanks for everyones input/answers on this question.
Cheers

Thanks for your advice guys. I sent some pics to mifkif but i dont know if he got them.
I will see if i can get some golf mk4 ones and see if they will fit?? My pc is poo and im having a poo day!!
