you need to be less sensitive and more specific about what you mean

you risk a 2nd offence if caught using a phone to check speed

your speedo may not read your true speed

change your tyre profile to 185/60/14

MOT time on the Lupo TDI Sport, advisory on the 3rd brake light, I've got the replacement bulbs but the whole thing is cracking up with age, do I buy a new unit, or can I legally tape it up, the car is black so black gaffer tape will conceal it, I know that it will fall apart if I try to remove it.

I've bought one off ebay

The test was done on Tuesday, I've got 5 replacement bulbs which will be good enough but not perfect, but the outside is chipping and cracking as I try to pull it out.

I think we both would need 15" wheels to run these in our TDI's

For the SDI owner, 10 litre containers of Veg oil presumably rapeseed oil from FarmFoods for £8 a considerable saving on pump diesel even if used as a blend

I have two TDI's

So possible on a SDI with blending but unwise on a TDI? My only experience of using Veg oil in in a 5 cylinder Merc diesel, where it was fine as a 50/50 blend

The Lupo is not yet a classic, maybe when the earliest get to 25 years old...maybe

The body work has a few issues, so rather than buy and fix, I'll stick with what I've got, good luck with the sale

I like it, can I ask you to try the aircon just to see if it works, thanks

Brakes? Uprated or 239mm up front and drums at rear, if I still lived in N/cle I'd be tempted

there have been a few on sale with over 200k on the clock

But not when they are diesel, I have two TDI's one on 175k the other on 167k expect them to outlive the body work

waiting for the MOT, if I'm lucky they'll last

Do we need a tyre thread, I ask/suggest because in my experience, my little Lupo's/Arosa's chew their way through tyres very quickly. Front tyres rarely last a year, and that's experience across the board, I've had 3 TDI's, an Auto, two 75bhp 1.4's, a Sport a 1litre, and an SDI. Only one missing is the GTI. I'm sloppy when it comes to brands too, I usually buy the cheapest but I will always put a pair on the front. Is there any point in buying Michelin, or Conti's, is there a wear/performance advantage or is that all in the heads of tyre testers?
