  1. I was in my mates Rover, too much of an embarrassment. Was gonna come say hi at view point but then I may have looked at bit dodgy hahaha.
  2. Yes and no, sometimes it'd slip in, sometimes I'd have to force it and it was whining like mad.

    Help!

    Coming home today and the clutch started to feel stiffer than normal, few miles on a bit of a jerk and losing power in fifth gear and starts to whine really loud. Get off the motorway and it struggles, whines and a strong smell in every gear bar fourth. Managed to limp home making awful noises, clutch is probably dead but could the gearbox be too? Surely it shouldn't be whining? All help really appreciated, Nathan.
  4. What polish did you use? Great transformation!
  5. If they're BBS RZ or bottle caps you should be fine. I have BBS RZ on mine from an older BMW and used the original bolts.
  6. It wouldn't be a real VW if the starter motor didn't squeal! Mine does it sometimes, as does my mums and my mates. Pretty common.
  7. Mine is still like this from L plates.
  8. Find a scrap yard? Parts are always reasonably priced.
  9. 1) Both check straps have died 2) Driver's door drops 3) Window winder fell off 4) Back wiper washer failed 5) Then the back wiper motor died 6) Drivers door handle and door card ripped off, was quite funny. Oh, I bought it with a broken gear selector too. Other than that, I've not really had any problems with it and it's nearing 90k, I've already put just over 7k on it and it's well overdue a service.
  10. Mines loud when it's cold and when it gets warmed it it goes quiet. Nothing to worry about really if it's just the tappets.
  11. Thing is the wire seems to be missing but the mount is fine and I've seen the train horn videos, very funny!
  12. My horn decided to fall off the car whilst driving yesterday so two questions: 1: Where does the wire for the horn come from? (The wire has been ripped out so I'll need to fit a new one) 2: What's the loudest legal horn anyone recommends?
  13. Or the other popular eBay specials:Ta Technix! Not bad for the money and the ride isn't too bad at all.
  14. Smooth the indicator panel yourself? Tempted to do this and use my fogs as indicators, seems easy than wiring them up to be actual fogs...
  15. Same here, retrofit Bought my full front bumper, fogs and splitter for £35. I'd like to turn them into indicators myself.
  16. Try a scrappy? My local wanted £40 a door complete with electric windows, hinges and checkstrap!
  17. If you don't have/need fog lights, get some and put the indicators in there. There a few who have done it on this forum, looks tidy!
  18. It would be sad to see a car this nice broken, been following this thread for a long time, I'd love to see it and it'll be sad to see it go
  19. Does the red one have the indicator grill?
