Nope he's too busy at the moment so I'm having to look elsewhere. Thanks for the offer. Unfortunately I've never done anything mechanical on a car so I think it's gonna be too big a job for me. If anyone on the forum is confident doing it/helping me do it then I'll pay the petrol money and £250 for doing it...

The definitive Pedal Box Thread
EllieRose replied to elajf1's topic in Car Care, Maintenance and Mechanical
So would you recommend just getting the pedal box done at a local garage and then seeing if it gets through next month's MOT with the same clutch? -
The definitive Pedal Box Thread
EllieRose replied to elajf1's topic in Car Care, Maintenance and Mechanical
They have said they'll match any quote I get in writing using genuine VW parts. Is this something that's worth doing or should I just get it done at a local garage? Also is it true they couldn't actually tell if the clutch was worn if the pedal box was gone? -
The definitive Pedal Box Thread
EllieRose replied to elajf1's topic in Car Care, Maintenance and Mechanical
I have just taken my car to a VW dealership in Kettering who told me both my pedal box and clutch have gone. They have quoted me over £1100 to get this fixed as it is going to take 8 hours of labour. To me this sounds an atrocious amount! Anyone have any clue of where I should go from here as I'm not sure I can justify spending that amount but at the same time my Lupo is just too good and means too much to me to scrap or sell as a project. It is driveable at the moment but they said I shouldn't be driving it as it's dangerous. -
Really?? Let me guess... Club Revolution? Or maybe Met?
-
Me and Lance are onto organising something over the next few weeks so will keep you all posted.
-
Yeah you've got that right! I'm only there three days a week for college and it does my head in haha.
-
I think we do too =] Whereabouts?
-
Oh and also I was determined not to let that Audi infront of me at the traffic lights, he didn't look impressed haha. Lupo convoy can't be broken up!
-
Aww old Scirocco's are cool though, I'd love to see it I'm hoping to have enough pennies saved to have my Loop lowered and on some nice steelies before the end of term but I'm not sure that's gonna happen! If I do then I apologise if you're stuck behind me when I go over the speed bumps x

See a couple of Lupos at my college regularly, one more recently than the other. A black I think 1.4 which was lowered on different wheels for a while but now appears to be back to standard. And one I followed today, soft blue with a de-wiper rear, white VW badge and the rest of the badges removed. I'm in the little red Loop =]
-
Yeah I've decided it's too much hassle. They've gone on ebay and prob gonna buy some g60 steels or P-Slots for now. Thanks for your help everyone anyway =]
-
Just some little updates =]
-
Owww! I'm not original lol. Glad it looked cool though =]
-
Thank you! I'm going to spray the steelie red so it's got a red outer and maybe white wall tyres... But I'm not sure it's going to work!
-
Yeah I think you're prob right... They have 2 holes on either side so 4 in total.

I had a bit of an impulse buy at Santa Pod today on a set of Beetle hub caps. I now can't see how I'm going to fit them! Is it possible? If not I'll just stick 'em on ebay. They're around about 9 inches in diameter. HELP!
