I just pay my wages in to her account. She does everything 🤷🏼‍♂️

No mate. Time and budget don’t allow the things like that unfortunately. It needs a full repaint so I’ll just make it cheap and get it gone. We started outsourcing the valeting as it’s more cost effective for me to doing other stuff. Which upsets me but hey ho. 😂

Managed a couple of hours on my own stuff today. Last little bits before the valeter comes in Saturday to clean it, then it can be pictured and advertised. Headlights polished. Before; And after 👌🏽 Then removed all the wheel bolts, primer, satin silver. Much nicer. Then I fitted...

You’re a c**t. Honestly my arse fell out then until I clicked on the link. What an asshole.

Uswitch? Please tell me they’re real. They’ve taken the money! 😂

Yes mate. Cleared the cookies on the laptop and used a different (previously unheard of tbf) comparison site and got it for £10 cheaper than Go compare etc. win.

@Coops Mk1 or @16v_paddy are your men for this. There’s also Paul but I can’t remember his usernam.

I’m now even more perplexed. Chopper has just bought a new car too. Went on go compare this morning and insured it for the 1/1/25. Zero issues. But I can’t. Fml.

It’s the kids’ laptop. So I hope not. 😂

Sorry mate - I wash cars for a living. See dirt, clean dirt is as intelligent as I get. What’s private mode?

Evening all. Just bought the wife a new car. Totally standard and very boring 120d. V5 in her name, insurance in her name. Her as the main driver and me as a named driver, insurance to start on 1/1/25. We both have has 15+ years no claims and have never had a problem getting insurance. I’ve...

“My phone won’t take pictures through glass” Meanwhile, your neighbour…..”hi is that the Po-lees?? There’s a weird guy trying to g to video my wife in the shower”

I got mine from ACW Motorsport Plastics on the outskirts of Bristol. Been in 5 years now and no complaints. 👌🏽

Have you had it diagnosed or are you just aiming the parts cannon and hoping for the best? Does the new ECU need to be coded?

The best wheel brush I’ve ever used is a Meguiars one. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284538428207?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=mt__gemorui&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=yuhFMh5BRYC&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

That lance should pop off the end of the trigger. Don’t bother with pump up sprayers, they’re a waste of time.

That’s the badgers. I honestly thought they’d be shite due to the price but 2 years on and they’re as good as new still. (Except the one time I used my impact instead of my drill and it shattered in to pieces 😂)

Cheaper to buy key, ECU, lock barrel and UCH and swap the lot over. Lots of people sell complete sets on eBay. (I had to do the same)

Does anyone have a 2017 or newer golf 2.0 tdi?? I’ve got this plug, that’s clearly been attached at some point. But for the life of me I can’t see where it goes. This is it at full stretch, so it has to be in there somewhere.

Dehumidifier did its thing. Drier than @Bubbles in there now. 👌🏽

Also - I got all the offending bits before the wheel went back in. 🤦‍♂️😂

Sadly the bodywork lets it down. It needs a full repaint really. But I’m hoping I can get my money back (circa £5k) from someone that wants a tidy old school daily driver or maybe someone that wants a rolling resto and they can get the paint done in time. It’s not a dog, far from it. But every...

Osram nightbreakers in my son’s Astra. Bloody brilliant!

All done. Just leave the dehumidifier in it until Monday now and it will be bone dry and smelling fresh. That’s all for this week. I’ll update next week when I do the underneath and exterior and polish it etc. Bosh. 💪🏽

Yes mate. But they can go on next week when I do the exterior.

Next up - with the help of my badass light. Which doesn’t fit old cars as they’re too narrow. 😂 So a rig up was needed; Rear seat base removed and all cleaned and air lined out. 👌🏽 Seats wet vac’d after a good vacuum and drill brush scrub. Snappy’s work was given a wipe over;

Boot area next. That was howling too. Spare wheel and wheel well cleaned with hot water, Elbow grease and a scouring pad; A light dusting of silver to freshen it up; Dressed the spare (which was still at 30psi! lol) and refitted it all;

Cleaning the interior today. Barf. It’s been off the road since forever so was minging. Here are some pics. First up, remove door handles, remove switchery and leave in hot water/Elbow grease overnight. Came in this morning and job done! All Ming successfully dissolved. Primered...

It’s being sold mate. I’ve managed to keep the track car but everything else is going.
