Re: Drawers either side of hazard light switch

This was the easiest mod i done to my car. Got the drawers of ebay for around £30. Fitting them was very easy. I havnt had any problems from them at all. They work and look loads better that having a blank. :D I see them on ebay all the time. Very cheap too.

Re: 105 remap !!

Well worth getting it done. Had my 1.9 tdi (105) mapped 2 years ago, goes like a rocket. Had it tested on a rolling road last month and was producing 156 Bhp with 370 NM of torque. The best map ive ever had. It always seem to be improving every time i drive it. :D

Re: **R LINE Front bumper Urgently needed..**

Yeah NK Tuning are very good. I bought all the R Line skirts front, sides and rears etc and they fitted perfect. As said above front Skirt is around £75 on ebay. Bargain if you ask me. You would be MAD to buy from a main stealer. :shock:

Re: Computer

Press and hold the ok button under the wiper stalk for a second or so and that should change it between 1 and 2. The number 1 resets after a few hours of engine being turned off. Number 2 stores the mpg. distance etc until you reset it. Hope that helps :D
