Congrats on passing the mot and thanks for the how to with regards to the rear light..

I dunno if its me but in before pic the rear fog light looks the same shade of red as your new one.

Looking good though subtle mods are the way forward ;)

Ohhh right i see..typical of VW to make something like that a longer hassle then needed..shall check later on today.

Thanks

mines going for MOT soon, then when its done its getting 2 red lights.. i admit that all white would be better, but i'd rather a fog then a reverse - might change my mind when i'm reversing on the drive in winter.. hopefuly i'll be posting up a few pics soon Can you also write up a how to for me? i...

Good luck im sure it should fly through the MOT

Well i did a search and nothing came up..basically how do you remove the gear knob? ive tried everythin pull and twist, twist and pull,twist but to no avail

Any help please? and would a gear knob from an Audi A4 1995 fit? that was my car before and i loved the gear knob..

Thanks

Lovin the wheels..remind me of the ones on the Mclaren Merc SLR niceee

One thing that gets on my nerves is how the media and even the England were goin 'its only Algeria' such a laid back attitude like they were gonna thrash them..yea right now look at whats happened we need a win agaianst Slovenia..i mean we cant even score against Algeria how we gonna beat Slovenia.....

Regards to the handbrake or ebrake as its called make sure when you press the button you check that it lights yellow and you get the handrake light on the dash...and wen on hill as soon as u hit the biting point the car will recognise if u got nuff power to go if not the ebrake wont go off..if u wan...

If you fit a RCD 510 to our B6's why does it drain out the battery? I want to buy one but i dont know what it means by draining out the battery? is my car gonna die everytime i use the cd player?

Rightio i see..its just me next door neighbour said he lowered his seat on its original springs and that i could do it too..unless he of course meant chopping the springs hmm On another note do you have difficulty checking the oil level? I mean in my B6 the dipstick is black and the oil in the car i...

lolllll Steve you had me there for a moment..now I understand what you mean by 'right price' :hyst hmmm so an extra 0 on the end might swing the deal.. would you accept a .0 at the end? still an extra zero hahaha May I ask why you bought lowering springs? are the standard springs a hassle to adjust?

lol i shall send you a PM tonight im sure you wont refuse it..or you might lol

special price? hehe

Hmm how much wonga u want for it? ;)

Yea must be difficult seeing as you got two cars too mod on yer hands..its either put all the time and effort into one or share it between them. Does Colb666 have a shop or sumthin? i wanna check it out Yea MOT first otherwise PC Plod wont let you drive the car let alone mod it lol You selling your ...

Lawsy where did you put your cable that connects to the ipod? I cant see any gaps or anyfin to get the cable into the car...

Oh was it hard taking out the phone cradle thats there? i need to take mine out it rattles too much.

Where did you get them clear indicators from? and are they easy to install?

Think once you match the reverse light up with the fog light plus the fact you de-badged it your gonna is gonna have such a clean look.

Liking it Lawsy wonder

Any more mods your gonna do?

Mine makes a similar noise but only when the engine is cold. Does yours make a noise once the engine has been warmed up? and when i rev the car and let go of the accelerator thats when the noise comes..good to know what it could be.

Thanks for the advice mate will take go get myself sum screenwash from VW..mine arnt clogged up yet hmm actually i aint even checked

Damn it looks so nice..well done all your hard work has paid off.

You didnt read the first line properly..I was talking about a REAL R36 and debadging it making it a sleeper not yours...and considering the fact yours is NOT a R36 yet you call it one why cant I call mine one too? doesnt need to have a body kit (kudos to you yours is done nicely not like other peopl...

Had the car VAG COM'd a few weeks ago did throw up 2 faults that were cleared..think i wrote the faults in another thread will copy here. I hear it till about 1700rpm's then nothing..any ideas on how to check the engine bay is covered in so much plastic I dunno where to start looking. thanks for hel...

Well from getting the turbo kick at 2300rpm im now getting nothing..yes nothing foot hard down revs build up and nothing car keeps revving but now surge..whats the best way to get it checked?

hmm you could ask your local tyre fitters and see if they got any tyres? im sure they wont mind giving you one to try considering the fact they are just gonna be burning them anyway.

I think that allright considering a full service at VW would cost me £375

Depends what they mean by 'service plan' could be 3 intrim services?

Hmm wait till some more experienced members post sure they will have much better knowledge and advice than me..sorry couldnt really help.
