Had the same issue migrating barclays app. Turns out when trying to re-register with my card that had 3 years left before expirtation...They had "issued a new card" which I'd never gotten.

I can’t wait to see this built. It’s f**king hilarious

RIP. my 197 started having strange electrical issues, turned out that some CAN wires in the harness in the engine bay had shorted together and needed stripping back and repairing. Down by the fuse box in the top right of the bay as you’re looking at it. Under all that basically. It’s...

The rear calipers aren't actually Brembo though...

It was sold and parts added/removed between this and a blue 172 cup iirc. guy that owned it went to an Alfa Romeo Mito or something similar

Pics of the DC5.

VR only and not the half life 3 people wanted. It makes me sad.

I have battery drain with the random android head unit that came in the car. Only really an issue if the car is left for 4days for me. It starts like crap in the morning though but most of these cars do. i need to fit the later gateway or whatever it is, but haven’t gotten round to it. As...

One to add to the thread... Sainsbury's Super Unleaded. My car is stage 1 mapped by R-Tech for V-Power supposedly. I decided that it's an absolute f**king hassle going to Shell to fill up all the time so tried Sainsbury's Super. Absolutely zero difference. If anything it feels a little...

These are also another common one that people use. https://www.s2tpp.com/VW.html

Look at the options from OSIR. They aren't cheap but they are full replacements. I'm using the small ones that are pretty much the same size as standard. Just a lot more premium feeling. They actually seem to have come down in price. https://www.osirusa.com/VGTIIA/OSIR-OSHFT-GT.html

Seeing Turbo Yoda in the video made me think “what happened to skid factory”. Looked on MCMTV2 and it wasn’t there so I was like okay. Looks like about 12 months ago they make their own channel and I didn’t even realise. I’ve got a lot of catching up to do

This is superb and should be stickied
