  2. umm last seen today at 5.32 ;)

  4. on a more serious note - this thread started with bluemoon1 saying that he has no problems, pleased with ownership so I really cant see this being an issue - if it happened on real technical threads then I think we would do something about it .... I would have thought this was a general discussion thread rather than mk3 specific though what do others think ?

  8. IIRC wasn't this the company that quoted
  9. you have to go to a main dealer if you have the one with wires attached, it doesnt matter if you have the other type you can replace with either - the wires just fit into the connector so main dealers only sell the new wires type now

  13. you will be a prime candiadate for needing your turbo cleaned then according to the latest thoughts on the matter ;)
  14. would bet my mortgage on these being either broken wires or broken insulation and shorting wiring in the looms that go through the rubber boots between the doors and pillars - look in the faq (click on the link in my sig) Shorting may well case problems with the dash (may be a fuse gone)
  15. Bwaaaaaa I want one (without the swimming pool though) ;)
  16. umm I dont have anything above the mirror on my MK 2 when did they start adding these ?
  17. I dont think I will play on the motorway ;)
  18. might be worth shorting the temp sensor and running it for a week and see if the smoke goes away (exhaust packing getting rid of extra diesel from before) - some folks have reported this on here
  19. after all the grief of getting it serviced and through its MOT a lady pheasant tried to chip herself through the front grill last night, went to blip my brakes to give it a fighting chance, was only doing 55 on the 4 lane stretch of the A1 southbound just at the junction with A14, car inside on the start of the sliproad lane gonig faster than me, car overtaking me in the middle lane, car right behind me waiting to pull out and overtake - sorry bird no chance - death was instant :lol: but after picking phesant out of the grill (and cleaning bodily fluids from bumper and screen) look like I need a new grill in about 6 bits now :lol: I hate road kills :lol:

HIM Ok I made a mistake last night and told the front desk that it was SD oil on tap but we did put in SD from a container ME Sorry mate but I dont feel very trusting now .. since you have to drain some oil out leave it 20 mins and fill from this conatiner of SD (one I brought with me) THEM so you are not worroied about the missing 0.5l of oil ME no I am worried about what you put in my engine THEM it was sd but since you are prepared to supply your own oil I am convinced that you are woriied about the oil in the engine I will redo the oil change with you watching and give you a free 5l of SD oil and sort out the lights NOW RESULT Went in with 5l of SD + engine full of ???
