Maz, put your spell checker on that "w" should be an "s".

I think we need a Poll to determine this !

Got mine....awaiting permission from the Dragon !

Dirty minded little perv ! :wacko:

Thanks Nik I will have a look. Youre going to get such a slap :wacko: ......mind you there may be a queue.

The old Gal has developed a Front End Rattle over the last couple of weeks.. :( ..been using the company Golf and never got around to looking at it yet. It is not noticeable at speed only when going relatively slowly ( less than 40 ish ). I cant pin it down to either side but it makes a really loud knocking noise like something loose :wacko: when going over rough ground ( small potholes and the like ) Can't feel it through the steering or the brakes. :wacko: Any takers as to what it is ( common faults )before I make the effort to get under and have a look and most likely get wet and injured as usual. :wacko:

Which pipe is it ?

And in case anyone was wondering.....whatever happened to "Gordon the Gopher"

There are plenty of dyes available. :lol:

What's the current price of Red Diesel ? Anyone using this in their Gal ?

I worry more about the driver than the vehicle.

Being a girl is an advantage. You need small girlie hands to get the switches out without lacerating your fingers and knuckles.

It is almost certainly not a fault with the ECU ( they are pretty much indestructible ). It indicates that the ECU is basically unhappy, not necessarily faulty. As Nik stated the usual culprit is the Brake Switch ( you will have 2 of these ) cant remember if its the Blue or Black one that causes the problem, easy enough to take them both out to check them. Other likely cause is the ignition relay, plenty of posts on this.

Never seen them before....looks interesting.....anyone got some ?

Agree with John on this one....the money is definitely on the Fuel/MAF. Unplug the MAF and see if it makes a difference....if no difference then your MAF is knackered.

This area is at best very grey and I think we need to respect that different people have their own opinions.

Fuynnily enough he PM'd me asking to borrow an axe and some plastic bin liners.............

Enjoy the comfort and the superior driving position ( whilst looking down on the Riff Raff below ). And also the Fuel economy.....just noticed you have a TDi

I'm serious..... was going to give them marks out of 10

The only info. I have seen on this is here http://www.vosa.gov.uk/vosacorp/repository...Regulations.pdf

Pics please

Yeh so do I but it is usually down to accidents and roadworks more than anything else. (as well as the odd Galaxy doing 45mph and causing a tailback )

Yep, drive a diesel.....given a choice I would rather have a LPG converted V6. Workings for economy are. Take Cost of Gallon of fuel, Divide by MPG....gives cost per mile. Please clarify which bits you find optimistic or misleading ?

Some TRUE facts to ponder. Fuel Economy. 2.0l & 2.3l LPG conversions cost about 7.5 to 8p per mile 2.8 LPG costs about 10.5p per mile 1.9 TDI costs about 10p per mile. Above figures are based on average pump prices and current price of LPG ( average sensible driving not 45mph down the motorway ). Enviromently friendly. LPG CO2 emissions although far superior to Petrol are Slightly worse than Diesel, although Diesels are taxed more per emission...another little stealth tax. LPG is still based on Fossil Fuels and this will run out soon, with no real alternative. TDI's can run on Biodiesel and this is renewable ( although not really practical for domestic use when fossil fuels run out. ). Performance, LPG has far superior performance than Diesel, ( it revs like a petrol engine ). LPG has a lower torque than petrol and hence much, much lower than Diesel( don't get me started on this one ). LPG requires more than double the size of tank to travel the same distance as a Diesel ( much more filling up ). Safety. Diesels will not go BANG regardless of the type of accident the vehicle is involved in. Luckily LPG tanks are usually stored in direct proximity to the kids......not all bad then ! And finally.....want to hear some lies and gross exagerations about LPG..... Simply go to any site trying to sell you a conversion.
