  1. Check if your brake lights are working, if they arent then it will be your brake light switch, well thats what it was on mine!
  2. I certainly did, although thats a regular occurance when driving such a cool car style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="B)" border="0" alt="cool.gif" /> lol
  3. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> I can say 100% that was me
  4. Have a look at the Crosman Rat Catcher, its a lightweight CO2 powered single shot rifle as used by Professional pest control officers I do believe
  5. Spotted a Silver GTi with oval exhaust and what look like fox (brand) 5 spoke wheels driving through West Didsbury on Saturday evening and have also seen it parked at a house opposite the Manchester City academy on Platt Lane. Was it anyone off here, If not I'll flyer it ! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />
  6. Cheers matey, hopefully it wont cause any further problems! Only time will tell I guess
  7. THink I have solved the problem now, and yes it does seem to be the brake light switch! It wasnt faulty tho, when I fitted it the other week I must have pressed the pedal too far when replacing the switch so when the ratchet mechanism self adjusted the switch it was not activating under normal braking (i.e. I had to press the pedal as far as it would go before the brake lights came on) Now it works fine and there doesnt seem to be any loss of power
  8. Ill give that a go and see what happens, but wouldnt it be hard to tell because the car will slow down due to braking anyways? Best get it booked in at the garage and get it looked over then I recon could be a number of things by the sounds of it!
  9. Funny you should mention that, only I changed it the other week. But I thought I was being stupid to think that a switch to turn the brake lights on would affect performance! Any ideas why it would do this? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />
  10. Whilst driving I was changing up from 4th at 40mph into 5th and instead of speeding up my car started to slow down despite my foot being firmly planted on the accelerator, when I dropped down to 4th again the car still didnt accelerate so was forced to drop down to 3rd in order to speed up. Anyone got any ideas what would cause this as it has happened a couple of times now! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" />
  11. Cheers bud! Not much done to it so far despite owning it over two years! lol
  12. That was me on my way to work! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="B)" border="0" alt="cool.gif" />
  13. Managed to get the part and attempted to fit it without destroying it as they are rather tricky to fit. Unfortunately I broke the new one in the process, but managed to take the old one and the new one apart and made a hybrid out of the two which works perfectly! I used this guide found on the VWvortex forums http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=1158315 which was very useful, for anyone who needs to replace theirs.
  14. Non of my brake lights are working and the EPC light has not come on style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" /> , now I'm guessing it will be the Brake light Switch as this seems to be a common fault. Dont suppose anyone could shed any light as to its whereabouts (with pictures if possible as Ive had a look around the pedal and where it pivots but dont really know what I'm looking for)! Also if anyone has changed it themselves do they have any tips as from what I've read on here they are a bit tricky to replace. Thanks in advance!
  15. Write and request copies of the photographs before you fill in the form. If they cannot provide copies then they cannot charge you. Chances are they will send you the copies but well worth trying on the off chance.
  16. Cheers Snoopy will have to take it in and see what the problem is then, hopefully nothing too major
  17. Whilst I was driving yesterday my engine check light came on, however when I started the car this morning to go to work the light was no longer on. This has happened in the past too. Anyone got any ideas why it would do this as surely a fault would mean the light stays on all the time? Ta Darren
  18. The video was made by Chris Cunningham and took him about 4 or 5 years to produce! What is actually quite a disturbing and freaky video doesnt actually show the hard work gone into it whilst its shown at normal speed, a large proportion of the "morphing" scenes are actually made up from his own body parts..........bum, face, ball sack etc style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> some frames took well over a day to create! I know all this coz ive got the special edition dvd and book which goes with it. once again..................disturbing!!
  19. And i thought i was the only one! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />
  20. Its a 5 speed, Ive managed to get the part at trade price of £53 rather than the £78 they wanted originally. Cheers anyways bud.
  21. Nope definitely the slave cylinder! Unfortunately I aint that lucky for it to just be something small style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":angry2:" border="0" alt="angry.gif" />
  22. Ive got a leak in my clutch slave cylinder and so I have been losing brake fluid/ hydraulic fluid. Just wondering if anyone has any idea of how much a new one is going to cost?
  23. Its not the brakes after all its a leak in the slave cylinder which has now got to be replaced.
  24. It was the brake fluid level after all it had dropped to minimum so thats why the warning light had been coming on, looks like I need to change my pads..........a job for the weekend me thinks! Cheers for the advice
