Opportunist's, prob after mobiles and stumbled on a set of keys.

Fair enough. In your case, I doubt they'd catch it. Mines a standard CUP, but the time and effort in keeping it OE+ I doubt I'd find another in the same nick for the insurance payout, hence why if it was Unaffected by the theft, I'd have it back.

But it's a car. It can't be 'abused' or 'assaulted'. If it comes back in one piece, without damage then what's the issue? Main thing is its found and returned as is. CS_dave, I've read your project thread start to finish. Can you honestly say if you car was stolen, then found in the same...

Mines on 112k and is the best of the three I've had. The other two were 68k and 91k.

Sorry dude, just read it back and it comes across a little harsh...not intended

Are you taking the piss? Is a 182 - its mains purpose is to be ragged. You may as well say you'd never buy a 2nd hand RS cos it been ragged - they all have at some point... Good luck to the OP in recovering it or receiving a fair payout from his insurance.

Add discount code A13CM04 to get it for £71.99 just done this and collect mine tomorrow.

RB heading towards station and Trophy heading away. Within 30 seconds of each other

If you stack it, tow it somewhere and 'place' it in a ditch. Risky, but it's been done sucessfully before with more exotic machinery (not by me mind!)

I have a standard pattern part system and it's as loud as the stealth I took off. Just brought a used genuine system, so hopefully it's a bit quieter!

I was in the blue camper. The cup was heading in derby direction.

Creaking rear end and a tappy engine! Shame it pulls so well or I'd swap it for a quieter one!

Poor rear tyres cause a loose back end. Brought mine with budgets on the rear and I could easily get full lock lift off oversteer by lifting off on a damp island. Just changed to decent tyres all around and it's difficult to get the rear out unless it's really wet - even then it's not as...

Look at the 205 gti scenario. Still a fair few about. Shitters are £500, mint/nut & bolt restorations are £5k+ and some dreamers are after £9k If it's under 70k miles, and very clean/ original and you can store it for naff all, then in 10 years it may well be worth a few grand.

I paid less than 1k for a 94k mile cup. Very straight, few mods, but required belts. Factor in £300 for belts, £170 for a Dephaser/oil/filter and £50ish for ball joints/tre's and your around your £1500 budget for a reliable, fairly economical hot hatch (averaged 42mpg for the last 600 miles).

Matched the inlets and refitted with new gaskets. Sorted the stealth exhaust so it actually a stealth again...

Looks too tall next to the clio!

Cleared it off Sunday morning, but snowed all day yesterday so had to dig it out this morning! There's just over 10 inches on top of the passat.

Chances are he wasn't wearing a belt though. Torn stomach sounds painful! Hope he's in agony!

Although the harness was most likely the cause of the broken coller bone - most people don't pull the harnesses as tight as they should when pottering in the rd car - need the reach stereo etc, whereas on track there so tight your shoulders are literally pushed back into to the seat. Normal...

Awesome cossie vid. Sorry if it's a repost! Retro soundtrack is cool too... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPQGpzC9WtI&feature=fvsr

Fitted New ball joints and TRE's

200 ish psi

Try it with the injectors unplugged to be sure. Wedge the throttle wide open too.

Figures are not as bad as they look. I was always under the impression that if their within 10% then there's nowt to worry about. Bit concerning that the misfire is on the same one though... Fred said mine were 14 bar, which is around 200psi iirc.

Was me. You turned out to bilston, I turned towards Dudley...nice deep burble you left behind!

Other than the belt issues above, rear pad carriers were on the wrong sides and the inlet/throttle body were dirty. Couple of ball joints have a little play too.

Cars been at BTM Today, still there - been a nightmare...A cambelts turned into a head off job, but should have it back tomorrow - Fred's worked his socks off... Loads of bits pointed out that need sorting. Turns out he Aux belt was routed incorrectly meaning it was rubbing the cambelt...

No danger of that - I think the Turini's are probably one of the best standard wheels out there. Collected some standard 172 wheels yesterday for track tyres though!
