Yup, cracked on top of the headlight. So far i have used a 2 part epoxy called plastic weld on it, i just hope it holds or at least keeps the water out. As its only a quick fix i'm going to use automotive silicone stuff for now with a view to speeding things up. There is no softening the adhesive th...

Well the repair isn't going well, its actually cracked right through to the casing so its a temporary fix at best. I feel a wanted add coming on

I have driven this road all my life and i think the pheasants are like the elderly drivers of Norfolk, hesitant, indecisive, doddery, non predictable, and generally dangerous. I have always found that deviating from speed or swerving confuses the pheasants further making them more likely to do somet...

Got the lens off in one piece but it was a mission and the casing had to be cut away to get it in the oven. I have heard Valeo sealant is a nightmare and they weren't wrong. Next on the list is remove the xenon light and remove what's left of the broken on lens and as much sealant as I can before re...

Well why don't you take the Range Rover when you go out on a shoot? I wish i had that much money, besides which we drive land rovers over ere, too muddy for Range Rovers lol Depends what sort of lens they're offering. Ali Barber? Ebay special, apparently good quality (a bit sceptical if im honest) ...

Advert replied to! I'm looking to transplant the glass from non Xenon lights i picked up for £20 the pair locally but i have since the incident had an error pop up on the dash since ref the self levelling system. Heres hoping its some minor debris in the adjusters causing the fault!

Morning all As usual this time of year i had an encounter with a particularly stupid pheasant which resulted in my Bi-Xenon N/S light lens being completely smashed. What is my best option here? Headlights are just over £500 new from VW including discount which isn't really an option. Does anyone kn...

If you are looking for the absolute pinnacle of the range you need to be looking at the SEL model but the petrol models are like rocking horse poop. Unless you can run to a R36 which is basically the same specification minus the body kit and the 3.6 V6.

Did you replace the torque mount (dogbone mount) normally mounted to the gearbox below the car?

Bit of an update for you all! Since the rebuild all is generally running well and the head has done the job. The clatter at cold is still there which makes me wish i had replaced the cam shaft shells with new instead of re-using the old ones. My garage has had a listen and said its most likely the c...

I have these fitted on my B6 estate, i cant imagine yours being too much different to the B6 and i have had no issues at all. Be warned though, they are extremely bright!

Mine takes about 10 miles to get to 90 degrees, thank VW for heated seats on cold mornings!

You are correct bud, glad you got it sorted!

Turn one of the cycle carriers 180 degrees and mount one cycle facing forwards and one backwards. This will stop the handlebars clashing so you can get them closer together.

I wish people understood the unsprung weight issue when they go 19" :hyst Slight off topic but on my T4 i always found the ride quality was far superior on larger diameter rims than small diameter, it seemed to iron out the bumpy Norfolk roads a lot better. In 5 years of ownership i had at lea...

My first thoughts are stolen and abandoned. Anything like this should be a call to the police who will in turn follow up with the council for disposal. I was a civil servant for 5 years in the forgotten emergency service and know how this plays out.

Have you checked the contacts are good and not corroded? There might be a break in the bulb which is not visible, you could put a meter on it to know for sure. I just purchased http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/371587171193?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT and they are absolute...

Myself and my 2 lads all use the same garage. He's honest and fair. If the cars need work done he'll always flag it up. Took me years to find an honest mechanic. I was sick of going to places that just rip you off. To be honest I wasn't expecting it to pass this time. There's been a few creaks and ...

Hope you get it sorted bud, had a similar thing with a CD player which i had to strip down and was an utter PITA although yours issue is super inconvenient!

Passed this morning with flying colours. Five years on the run now. Unfortunately when I got back home I was informed my house needs a new roof. The Lord giveth the Lord taketh away. Well done bud, i wasn't so lucky but the parts i needed were consumables that i could fit myself so no big deal. To ...

I'm not overly familiar with the 1.9 pedal but mine is a base, potentiometer, pedal and kickdown all in one and i have had a similar problem before. Last time it happened it was a simple case of removing debris from the pedal pivot.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee Saying all that i wouldn't enjoy it much around other traffic and that Passat is pants handling wise compared with the Golf on the other video.

4 Winter tyres .

So i have learned a lot from that video and if you want to have loads of fun only fit winters to the front axle

I would by the way

Until you have the proper setup and use it you will not understand what all the trickery actually does and how it works with the vehicle. Basically other drivers can still be blinded particularly when coming over an apex because the sensors will not react as they think the car is on the flat. The se...
