thanks for the info. i'm not going to risk the fine. its a shame though as the 182 seems like it was designed for 3/4 plates :(

its got new type-d coolant :) you just cant see it because of the condition of the tank lol. I wanted to get some polished aluminium tanks but haven't had the time/funds yet. It will probably get done sometime in the summer as its too cold outside at the moment!

Ron, whilst we are on topic of plates, what's your legal view on 3/4 front plates?

it could be the thrust bearing on the clutch. Easy way yo tell is to push the clutch and see if it goes away. If so, you need a new one at some point (although mine on my mk1 has been going nearly 40Kmiles now chirping away).

im actually loving the mk1 without the side strips!

Don't think so. Still catching up with work after the Christmas break. way behind :( Haven't even had chance to try my da polisher yet!!

ash 70mm 90degree bend.

do you think mine looks s**t?

I got a whole engine cover for sale for £25 posted ;)

i didn't say snapped, I said slipped ;) if it slips a tooth the timing would be affected causing a misfire. So no, you cant rule it out.

Thanks Lee. Still doesn't look like I am going to be able to make it now though unfortunately. :(

I don't have a center silencer and it isn't that much louder than when it did.

so basically you have made an app that give you an alarm everyday telling you to take a picture? Surely I can do that with just the normal repeat alarm? Or does it do more? Also what platform?

i was thinking it could be bottoming out on the dampers thus making it higher. but i'm not sure you would get the top nut on if it wasn't put on right as there isn't much leftover thread.

not true. ride quality will be hard as hell but nothing un-safe about using springs. My mk1 is down on Apex -60mm and never had a problem. @ OP, did you screw the top hat nuts down fully in refit?

Could be: Timing belt slipped Coil pack TDC sensor MAF sensor Injectors HT/spark plugs Can you get it hooked up to a diagnostic code reader?

Doesn't look like it unfortunately. Is there a post in this thread that actually details the meet location etc in case I do happen to have a miracle?!

why not just install the link software on the phone?! I don't imagine it would clutter up anything tbh, have you tried it?

is the the 3g version? i dont think it will send texts unless it the 3g version (i.e. takes a sim card)

1000 Also love the pinup/christmas girls!!

yep, my apologies! :)

I missed your 'In neutral'! I thought you were on about leaving it in 5th!! Silly me not re-reading it first! :p

the engine isn't at 'idle' though!! It cuts the fuel whenever the car is moving, revs are above idle (900rpm) and your not using the throttle!!

Road momentum is still turning the engine going down a hill without changing down a cog. Your not saving any more fuel than if you left the car in the gear it was in. In fact, you have used more by rev matching it. Also why would you loose speed by staying in 5th?!

We still have these in the SW :) As mentioned, int he seaside towns.

Sometimes loads, sometimes not so much :) More seem to attend in the summer as its not so cold/wet I suppose. McGherkin has (as of yet) attended 100% of the meets I think, so he's the main contact for the SW stuff if you need info :)

The monthly meet is just off the motorway in exeter, but we also have some other meets that take place all over the sw. Best thing to do is keep and eye on the 'South West' forum section as it all gets posted in there :)

Good stuff. You going to be coming to the meets next year?
