Re: torque on android

The fact it says "reported to work........." and you still have to buy leads etc would put me off.
If your only want it for fault codes and turning of engine lights or srs lights i would spend my money on a proper code reader. I only paid 20 quid for mine and it works a treat.

Re: does size really matter?

i agree. its your car. do what you want with what you can afford.
i got lucky with my rims, wont bore you with details, but there are some good deals to be had. if your in no rush save up and get what you desire.

Re: metal under tray/sump gaurd?

You can get metal ones from Canada, works out about £220 all in with the postage, someone on here posted about it a few days ago as they just bought one.

metal under tray/sump gaurd?

right ....ive busted the plastic under tray and i know some of you guys run without one but i think if vw put it there , its there for a reason.
so i was thinking of making a metal one same to pattern. just wondered if any one has done this and to what avail/result.
thanks for looking

Re: Whats the deal with mirroring no claims bonuses??

what i dont get is on a motorcycle policy you can have more than one bike on the same insurance. ( i have two on mine) yet with cars you have to get another policy.
why? you can still only drive one at a time... or is it just another way to emptying our wallets?

Im sure someone will correct me if Im wrong but....... Its not the paint that's the problem. It will be the laquer. Its tough as to protect the wheels from corrosive brake dust and road salt. To find a stripper strong enough you gotta look at professional stuff which will probably melt your skin of ...

Re: New cars, whats with the lights??

DRLs are no different in my eyes to fog lights. and I hate people who feel the need to drive with their fog lights on :evil:

Yet DRLs are a legal requirement and driving with fogs on is a £60 on the spot fine.... WTF???
