  1. Don't worry about it, I'm just going to show Steven Browne the same manners he showed me when he banned 'Saxolover' when I see him next. You may wish to mention this one on the mod section as I've met him before and putting it nicely, I'm bigger than him and it has annoyed me somewhat. As for the switches, you can also use golf mk4 ones. I've recently acquired a golf mk4 retrofit heated seat kit and the pads for the seats and when I get around to it I'm going to fit the whole system into the Lupo. Heated cloth seats ftw.
  2. You were thinking of the engine mount, however secretly, all valver Lupos have the same mount.
  3. The chip reader . . . . . . . The immobiliser works on these cars by having a key and a transponder box coded to each other and then coded to the ECU. If there's a problem with the immobiliser then the car would start normally, run for a second and cut out. The key and transponder box are coded to each other, if one doesn't work then you have to replace both. You can code any matching key and transponder to an ECU but they have to be a matching key and transponder. The chip reader is simply the reader for the key to the transponder and if it was buggered you could simply change it, however a problem with the immobiliser wouldn't cause the fault that you've said. If it was at fault then you would start and run for a second, that would be all. If you rephrase the question, I'll give you a relevant answer. Although I reckon I already know the fault.
  4. I see your photochop and I raise you an actual Polo convertible we made to alleviate boredom. Ha.
  5. A swift punt + slot = problem solved. And I thought when I left school I'd never use algebra again, how wrong I was.
  6. Anyone got Peirs plate? Also, anyone got a silver GTI I can borrow for half an hour ?
  7. You should totally do a 'bring back Rich' thread on CP.
  8. Pete, you said the other night it was better to swallow.
  9. I've found all SDI's the same engine, as for the interference, you could always try getting a new belt, slapping it on and seeing what happens. It's not stupidly expensive to do so and I suppose it could suprise you.
  10. The loop engine does sit at an angle, but that's the mounts. Subframes do bolt off. . . . How are the suspension turrets different? Hence why I said that he'd need the entire car.
  11. I haven't been on, I change which local forum I'm arsed with every now and again.
  12. just leave the other two out in the sun.
  13. You never fail to make me smile. Don't retrim the dash this time.
  14. The nearest is down south in Manchester yeah? I hate being upnorth. In Surrey you can buy them in Tesco. You're coming out aren't you ?
  15. I've done quite a few VR conversions, I know the in's/outs of the wiring. easiest method is to get an early loom where the engine/lighting parts were seperate.
  16. Golf mk2 rear discs aren't a straight swap. You'll need a sport or GTI rear beam. No real way around this. As for the fronts, there's a lot of hubs you can use. Loop sport, GTI, TDI, Polo mk4/5 where it's a seperate caliper/carrier set up. Does that answer it ?
  17. You found a golf and a polo ? Me and my mates used to have a challenge where you had to find letters off VW's and make swearwords.
  18. Vr in an ibiza is just plug 'n' play, good old 90 spec stuff. Lupos/polos are much more complicated and crappy.
  19. I've got a hairy crack in mine and it passed fine.
