that's what i like to hear, a fast car should have grab you by the seat of your pants in fact you know you've got it right when your car gives you a wedgey!!

That's cool i want one of those ex-works engines not sure if it's old news but it's sure good news as they would only do that to a very good & well designed engine in the first place

those look really cheap & tacky, the chrome one's don't look too bad on alloy's

i would still be carefull with 10mm spacers that would hardly give you 3-4 turns on each bolt and thats not enough, personally i would go get yourself some longer bolts and stay with the wider spacers, you need to get some bolts that are around 7-10mm longer than you already have

My B5 has a full Nokia hands free kit built in (with cradle for a 6210/6310).

Is there a way of adding a bluetooth option so that I use my phone?

Thanks

What Nokia car kit is it?? the common one is a CK-7W and that already has bluetooth

on your larger photos you can actually see a large amount of pitting thoughout the rollers picture 3 is probably the least pitted but it's worth replacing it as you've got it off (just in case).

toonmania, just to let you know we do not have stickies we put write-up's like this in the How To forum, which is where it was transferred to. Hopfully muddyboots will continuue to update that topic as he procedes with the repair. (NB muddyboots could you put that last post on that topic as well, i...

Excellent purchase the 3.0D is a brilliant engine,

Hi, yeah it can go through the radio iso so that the radio will cut out and the sound comes through your speakers, but you would neeed to buy a extra wiring kit like this (but buy buying this i don't think you would need the power lead as they are usually attached to these mute leads you also wouldn...

if you want a cheap option (As long as your a toon fan not some dirty old mackem!! :hyst ) you could get a free nokia CK-7W from me complete with microphone, nokia dial button and data cable for connection to a cadle of you needed it, you would need to buy a new power lead from ebay http://cgi.ebay....

Excellent write up, this should be a sticky.
the bearing in the blown up pictures do look quite pitted, how much did the kit cost from TPS?

Think i should get myself a diesel, these figures quoted are over double what i can manage in my petrol 1.8

Most likely cause is one of the syncro rings have failed/or failing. it might be better to start saucing another gearbox. A five speed gearbox can be got from ebay or breakers £50 to £150. personally as you have only changed the clutch 2000 miles ago i wouldn't bother changing it again, but that i...

i would have thought you can get them from Maplins or RS-ONLINE
