Re: Baby on the way, anyone selling isofox brackets for a 5.

isofix = win

its not so bad when they go in the later ones but clunk click and away makes life that much easier imo.

Re: Corolla front seat replacment

disconnect the battery and wait a few mins. and dont disconnect facing where the airbag would explode to.

Is it a tsport by chance? seems a common problem on the corollas.

How does your son find it? was considering a corolla t sport next

You just need a fork to stop that.

Stab anyone who does it in the hand a few times, then soon you'll have no more worrys. :hyst
tbh i think most fabrics you trim it with will fade with time anyway.

Re: b5.5 saloon - black a,b and c pillars with bad pics

Little update the passat has been ticking along nicely, ride is driving me crackers. roads by me and my lane are not really 35 profile friendly. Seriously bad enough that i'm thinking of selling up. probably tax it first and do the oil again so its nice and ready. more pics as thats what we all want...

Re: 1.8T 20V 1998 wont start - weird problem

my guess would be maf or lambda sensors.

on group 1 of the logging bit of vcds lite. it'll show you the lambda before cat reading, group 2 can give you a air mass drawn reading which i think is the maf.

Re: 18 or 19 inch

if i could fit 40 profile on my 19s i dont think ride quality would come into it much, but the way it drives is where you feel the difference.

i may well go back to 18s next, just so i can have 40 profile :oops:
