  1. Quite like the theme to 'one tree hill' myself , "I don't want to be" by Gavin Degraw from what I remember
  2. As far as I'm aware there all interchangeable anyway, off memory I know the FK's on mine are listed as being suitable for Arosa and Lupo 1.0 & 1.4 etc and the cheaper manufacturers seem even more interchangeable so just tell the supplier what car you have and let them worry about the code Wayne
  3. yeah left it switched on while charging it did it evertime i plugged it in the wall or computer so got sick of turning it off And very pleased with it so far, have been playing on it all day while i was meant to be doing some work, oh well just need to get a case or one of them invisi shields now as the buggers already littered with finger prints and i dont want it getting scratched at work, any recomendations? And Tigz id defo recomend one, i was playing on my mates old iphone at work last night and although at first glance you wouldnt tell them apart mine is soo much faster and seems quicker to respomd, whether that will wear of is yet to be seen, oh an just go you local 02 store, online site is useless i jst kept getting told they were out of stock and the call centre just kept me on hold while they checked for 10 minutes so i gave up wayne
  4. After listening to Nicki i did a credit check and all seemed clean , so sent it to nicki and she agreed same as me and said to ring 02 customer services just to check why it didnt go through but thought id go one better and as i had an hour free thought stuff it ill go in the 02 shop at the local shopping centre and see if i can get it there went in and within 10 minutes walked out with a 16Gb on £45 tarriff, she saids it went straight through with no warnings or anything and credit expert confirmed there was nothing wrong with my report so i have just rang that bloke up at car phone warehouse and gave him a right bollocking over the phone i was being nice at first but then he gave me the line of "maybe were a bit stricter on who we take on?" which really wound me up after never being refused for anything in my life untill i dealt with this twerp, and as its 02 who would be taking me on in the first place its complete nonsense i can now be an iphone sales rep like Nicki and Jon and make apple even more money just charging it now so will have to leave it at home tonight before i get to see if i have made the right decission wayne
  5. Tried experian for my brother before and the report we got back was so basic its unreal, it was also meant to be a free trial version but he ended up getting charged £15 we havent moved in last 8 years, havent had any debt on any of us which is why we were so confused, i was so inbarrased it was unreal, all of a sudden the shop goes quite and you look like a dole scrounger trying to get a phone when the truth couldnt be more different, as dad said its so ironik that the first time i try to get any form of contract/finance i get refused wayne
  6. Well decided to bite the bullet and sign up for one today, went in car phone warehouse and having played with one for 15 minutes decided to have a 16GB one on £45 a month so he got the phone and we put my details in on the computer and account details etc, then my heart sank when he said "youve been declined" i couldnt and still cant quite believe or understand it apparently even though the account that i was attaching it to has £3k in it which is more than enough to pay for the phone 3 times over he thinks i must have a bad credit rating and be high risk, doubtfull i think as i got confirmed on a mortgage last month for £51k with ease so £45 a month doesnt strike me as much outlay i have now got to figure out a way round it and sort the problem out, especially to see if any credit hackers etc have attached something to me as i have never in my life been near overdraft or debt of any kind and now getting refused for something so trivial, he wanted to sign me up under mum and dads name and use my account details but i have never used my parents to get things before and refuse to start now anyone else had similar problems? wayne
  7. You mean Seat Arosa Mk2 rear lights not lexarse lights and i have a spare set sitting on my desk wayne
  8. Do they have photo mesaging? one review i just watched said there pre release demo version they were testing didnt have but it was expected to be added by production time? if not surely means you cant just send a picture message to your mates etc? i know the interent on my G600 takes to long to load and costs too much so i never use it to check emails etc which would be the only ohter option wayne
  9. Al its rare for you but on this subject you are completely wrong, the TT frames are a completely different setup than the golf/lupo frames which requires the need to start from scratch on the mounts for both front and rear seats like i did in mine, also mine are late 2000-early 2001 and are same seats and frames as in an 54 225 coupe i test drove a few months back so i dont think they changed them to be like the golf either Only thing id say on this subject is use the TT frames and runners as you then keep the hydraulic height adjustment and solid sturdy audi frames and the seat belt clips etc all work with the standard belt so no need to change them, the main requirement is to make a solid front mount joining both front seat runners, dont half arse this as in a crash its the only mount that will stop you going through the dash as the rears are moveable wayne
  10. assuming you have a 16gb version jon? any probs at all? i know you and nicki have them you seem the biggest fans on this site after looking through previous posts around launch time and also whats this i have read about havig it in white? 2 sites have said its only in apple stores though i swear i havent seen one of them stores? thats the only thing that kinda puts me off rob i have never had a contract or finnance of any kind before and being locked into it for 18 months at £45 a month is a bit excessive but im bored of my G600 and always on tinterweb so figure this could suit me wayne
  11. what about a lupo/polo gti engine conversion? seems a good time to do it and usually available if you shop about? if i was myself to be spending that money and keepin it original engine id be getting new bits and building the engine id used and experienced before rather than buy an unknown one, there is alot you can miss on a quick strip down and rebuild and it doesnt really save you time ore money unless you can get a real bargain wayne
  12. i know litterally just read that on one of the american websites 2mg is beyond ****, my samsung g600 which i class as old now has a very good quality 5mgp, and having no video is very very dissapointing, apparently no flash either quite surprsied how many BAD reviews there is on the internet to be honest, most from american sites admitedly but alot with genuine grievences to back it up to be honest Rob nearly every site aggrees that it has the best web useage ability and software on any smartphone on the market, the phone is apparently very "basic" (ironick they call it 'iphone') , the sat nav isnt really sat nav just moving mapping software that isnt suited to helping you get somewhere on a car journey of any distance Im not one to buy things just because there the latest out, although i did do that years and years ago at school when MP3 players first came over from abroad and i had a top spec MP3 player while everyone was showing off their sony walkman tape player still want one though think im gonna go and bite the bullet tommorrow, cant believe i can sign up in store, get the phone and then still have to register the lovely person on i tunes before i can use it wayne
  13. Well i have had mobiles for years but always had pay as you go, im tempted by the new iphone but its not available on P&G till november and to make use of the net etc it will cost at least £10-15 in bolt ons alone and i spend £10-20 a month on credit for my G600 so its near contract money so today i went into the 02 shop and was told the usual £30,£35,£45 contracts and as i have a 3/4 full 80GB ipod classic im gonna need the 16GB upgrade at £59 and then £99 for the phone unless i went on the £45 and up contract, asked if i got anything for 4 of us in the house being with them for 5 years plus and 2 of them being on contracts and was told a blank NO so went in car phone wareouse and was told much the same although the girl was much nicer to deal with but again no deals etc Am i missing something here? i expected no deals on its launch but surely now its been out over a month and is the 2nd generation there must be a deal? i have never brought a car at its first advertised price and believe theres always a deal to be done but i can only find it forsale in the above 2 places i tried and neither would budge, 02 being particularly rude with the attitude of "if you dont buy it son someone else will be in later today or tommorrow to do so" cheers for any help and advice wayne
  14. We have had 2 1.4 Mpi Arosas and although both manuals they both ticked over at about 600 revs and sounded like they had lumpy cams fitted , we were assured on both of them that this was normal with this engine and that the only way to adjust it was through Vagcom (its simply a standard adjustable setting when plugged in) i didnt have it done as to be honest i just got used to it, can imagine it could be tricky with an auto unless driving as suggested above although it sounds quite risky unless your on the ball wayne
