A pushchair, spare wheel and standard first aid kit.

The way I see it, it tells me something is working which can only be a good thing. Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk

Wish I had working air con. Hopefully a re-gas will sort it.

Will be close to £1k once I get the belts and mount done - not bad for a week hehehe

I suspect mine probably looks the same. It was changed by the previous owner last year for £350 and it's now got a f**ked dephaser. I have to spend £££s to correct someone else's bodge job :( Still at least I'll know it's been done and done properly!

I'd always replace both shocks/ springs on front or rear otherwise you'll probably yoyo down the road.

Jsut in case you thought things were improving with the car though.... RCL stopped working today and I've blown another headlight bulb. hehe

My hate list: Tints. Plastic light masks... Urgh.... M3 mirrors on anything but an M3. Massive rear wings. LED washer jets Fake dump valves Painted rear drums Fake alloy wheel trims Fake bonnet vents Neons Ebay Electric superchargers Oh and my most hated... badging up a car (Sport/ turbo/ RS...

Even with the abuse mine has suffered it's on 120k and the engine is still bone dry with no oil or water leaks. Starts straight away and knackered dephaser excluding runs smoothly with plenty of pull. Good strong engines. As for the rest of the car that remains to be seen :evil:

It was great once you get them started, fiddly at first but once you get a good handful they are quite tough and tear off without ripping.

Tints are gone! :cool: Quite good fun ripping them off, was like therapy :) Put both the odd mirrors on for the time being until I get the incorrect drivers side mirror replaced. They may look a bit odd, but they both work which is more than I can say for the cheapo M3s I removed. Operation...

Brakes are now working as they should be and what a difference! :approve: Amazing the difference dead fluid and a stuck calliper makes to your braking efficiency hehe Now just the hybrid mirrors to sort out and then do the belts and my car shall rule them all! Muhahahaha! Well ok maybe it will...

My old GTi-6 was at 150k of hard miles and never grumbled. Personally the way it's been driven and the quality of servicing is more important to me than the miles - most of my cars have been high milers.

Same.

I had a 406 Hdi and that was faultless. Ok so it's like driving a silent fart where everything is all quiet and fluffy ;) The ride is cushioned, the pedals are light, the spec is good, the steering is light, they are pretty economical. Mine only needed glow plugs and glow plug relay in 4...

Nice to see he cares enough about his car to go to those lengths. I wouldn't bother no matter how much I love my car.

My boy is 14 months and I managed to get the front facing child seat in the back... just. Rear facing I think it'll be tight.

Ouch heavy week! All I had today was losing three hours of work where a file I was working on corrupted and I saved over the top for three hours. My fault lol

Problems?

Well I just noticed they were slightly different shades of silver. But thanks for pissing on my bad week as well :rasp:

I also noticed that the passenger side has two extra pins in the plug, is this for the temp sensor? Not sure if I'll look like a t**t with odd mirrors or if anyone would even notice. It might start to annoy me though, but I'm tempted to just keep them and fit them because anything is better than...

Unless I have a random mirror and a random 172 mirror but they are both electric and the same fitting/ plugs.

One of them is slightly smaller than the other as well. Again something I doubt will be noticeable when on the car.

That's what's keeping me going at the mo. I want to right previous wrongs caused to the car and bring it back to life :approve:

Different caps. I'm assuming one is ph1 and one is ph2. One one the cap extends all the way down the top of the arm, on the other the arm is black and the cap only covers the back of the mirror. TBH I and people on here will probably be the only ones that will notice when they are on the car. I...

Because it's being a complete farce at the moment. Went back into the garage to re check the brakes again, got a call from the garage saying a calliper was sticking and when they dismantled it a slide bolt snapped. They can't get a new bolt till tomorrow. Fair enough not their fault, the...

It was pretty cheap but when I bought it I knew about some of the stuff and planned to change some mods anyway. Unfortuantly some of the car issues were a "pleasant" surprise on the 220 mile drive home. Oh well, nothing that can't be fixed with money and TLC.

Welcome to the de-chav club. I'm starting to de-chav my car's previous owners mistakes. Gone are the italic number plates, mirrors arriving today to replace the nasty M3s and tints will get ripped off this weekend by me. Just have to replace the 17s with 15s then it's going to stay lowered with...

Welcome! :)

True but need to get the replacements first. Bit hard to drive to work on no wheels ;)
