yeah i did but the thing is under throttle body and its bit tight i get pic up. cheers

ok cool will do that. just wondering what brand is best to buy? i saw some bosch leads for decent price. not keen on spending 90+ quid on high performance leads. also do i need to whip throttle body out to change them?

I replaced spark plugs on my sat today and found that one lead is falling apart. I will need to change them all but what is the deal with recall on these? Can i still do it?

this is awesome, everything falls together so well. hats off mate

waw really nice!!! perfection

wouldnt be able to find another one that easy with similar mileage and condition mate. They seem to keep value. Highlines from 2004-2005 still knocking at around 3500

sounds easy enoug. thats what im gonna do soon as it gives up. dont mind it just now

exactly mate i m gonna stick with it for a while. how about that highline you went to see the other day? Cupra r is sweet but i think its group 18 so insurance sucks plus running cost but yeah defo lovely motor.

Yeah they seem to keep their value bit more over here. i could easily let it go for 2k-2.2k quid. regarding service i will do do pretty much everything myself so that will save me some dosh :) also i want to keep it cos its my daily and i will be doing another big trip in end of october. to be hones...

i recently got offered 2500 for my B5.5 which i was pretty chuffed about. you might call me crazy or daft but i declined it. in last year i owned this car it grew on me more and more. taken me through europe and back (3000miles) still only has 61k on clock, full service history only one previous own...

get original Bosch mate, i made mistake by buying cheapos for tenner and turned out to be absolutely useless, so 10 quid wasted and bought Bosch and all good

So what did you do just disconnect and off it goes?

is it giving you any codes at all? all electrics working fine? did you have a water damage before? your indicators are wired to hazard switch. try getting some electrical contact cleaner and clean the indicators contacts. thats what helped me when mine were playing up. regarding your locking isue- a...

i havent posted anything since like april. not had much time or money left to do anything. had a relationship break up, moved house and all sorts of thing related to this.she was up for sale a some point but i have changed my mind. not done much to car apart from 3 fails on window tints and painted ...

alright thanks for that phil

ever since i changed my axle beam i get this horrible creaky sound when releasing handbrake. it sounds like it slips or something. same as you park on hill and dont pull it enough. had a look so many times, jacked the car, checked-nothing, everything is on its place, nothing hanging off, no leaks, e...

x2 mate i want to know too. do you need any resistors or something?

i have done mine twice mate. have some pics on my build thread.mine also crumbled. first time i replaced it with washing mashine pipe from B&Q for 3-4 pounds and did the trick for like 6 months. then the hard bit which runs from pump broke- then i fixed it with garden water hose- happened to be ...

Looking good as well always Mike so what did you use on de-chroming? looks good

i know there has been many posts on this and even myself i asked about it but... is there a way of finding whether i have SMF or DMF fitted? i know all B5.5s have been fitted with DMFs. My car has only covered 60k miles so far due to being driven on small island. Somehow i start to think that previo...
