Ahh I did think about a new mount, but a cable tie sounds like a better idea!

So I've had the car for approx 3 weeks now and I'm still enjoying it lol. I must stress, Seat/VW have an annoying habit for the fixings used on the likes of tow eye covers and fusebox covers etc... But hey ho. Service parts In the bag, was this... Fairly common for these pick up pipes...

I enjoy the car personally. Its not as chuckable as a Clio (as expected) but saying that, it can be thrown around more than I was expecting with plenty of grip in reserve. As a daily, its fairly comfortable and reasonable on fuel. Overtaking is so easy when cruising in 6th... the joy of boost...

This ones just reached 80k, cost me £3800 with a little haggling (splitter, rear tow eye cover...even knocked him down for the budget tyres fitted lol) Service history is not complete, but is reasonable. Its also had a cambelt and waterpump just over a year ago.

Thanks for the comments guys! The HID's are miles better than the standard bulbs, shame these things didnt have Xenons tbh!

Just over £30. Theyve gone up price thanks to demand :( One thing I have learn't, its worth trying a Seat dealership rather than TPS for prices now!

LOL!

Thanks. MCS - Mini Cooper S :approve:

Well after selling my MCS to a member on here, the search was on for a bigger, more family friendly bus. With a budget of £4k, It was mainly a choice between either a Leon Cupra R or a Mondeo ST220....different cars all together in most aspects?! I decided to go with an LCR, mainly because I'd...

Re: A Mini Adventure ... Ah you went 15%, Is It really that much in terms of difference?? I want to do it to mine, but go 17% and get a GRS. How's it feel now compared to say the pace of a 1*2? I ought to be thinking of selling mine, but its addictive!!

My indicated in 2nd is pretty much just under 60. The short box is so much fun tbh.

Another month has gone by and I'm still totally In love with this fag box. One of the things that was bugging me was the size of the gear knob though...its massive lol. Instead of going all OEM or anything, I took a fancy to this little £5.99 option on ebay. Its so so much better and I think...

I love the fact that the other french hot hatch hasn't been mentioned. Peugeot have made a decent motor this time round.

LOL awesome aint it. http://www.minitorque.com/forum/f275/hybrid-airbox-tenner-ish-30411/

£80? ideal! They dont come up for sale often do they? Ive got the K&N on route from Euro Car Parts for £22 which seems to be cheap! Only problem is I've been waiting for 2 weeks now lol.

I agree, its no rocket ship and Id expect a healthy 1*2 to pull on it above a tonne. Engine mods are on the list, in the form of a 15/17% pulley and a GRS intercooler. Im also just awaiting the K&N filter to arrive so I can copy the Dave F style box. £17 spent at Wicks.

My 330 on Sportlines, albeit 19" CSL reps.

You secretly loved it! Plus so far, weve found its pretty well built!

Pre facelift? Not going to lie, but the short box is epic fun!

Ohh if I could, I'd be all over one of those! Well, the exhaust on this one probably wont last another 6 months... So its in the pipeline :evil:

Well after test driving one and hating it.. Buying an Astra VXR and not really feeling tha much more, I went and took another look at Cooper S's. Test drove my current Cooper S and wanted it straight away... :) Anyway, heres its advert picture. 1st up was the normal number plates and...

I dont really understand the choice in the wheels, exhaust (FLOL) and the tow strap? It looked like a tidy hatch at the start? Now it looks like something that would entertain council estate birds, whilst bossing mc d's car parks every night? :banghead:

+1000000! I for one, will never buy a car on Welsh soil again! Every single one of them and ones that my mates have purchased, have been shite.

Nobody mentioned the inserts missing on the front bumper also?

Just read this, start to finish! EPIC is all, well done fella!

Hi chaps, The wheels on my TT will need refurbing shortly, which got me thinking of a change of colour. I was think of an anthracite? Black might be abit too much :o Could anyone please photoshop some colours?? would be much appreciated! * Note - the damage on the bumper and wing was not...

Sold it near on a couple weeks back now. The new owner will be on here :approve:

Yeah definately a strange one. Cable looked fine! Ta for the reply fella.

Checked over the cables this morning. For some reason, the main cable from battery to sub was showing as negative?! lol.. Needless to say, a new power cable has sorted the issue :approve:
