spot on, the cable had popped out of the 'twin connector' that joins the two, managed to grab the wire from underneath (just) with my short arms and jobs a good en. tightened up the handle while i was there and now popping the bonnet feels better than ever and doesnt feel like anything is going to snap thanks for the help guys

IMO FK's are the dogs! ive got em and also had em on my audi and cant fault em.. santa must know his springs =]

hi, ive done a serch and found a few things but not loads, went to check oil level 2day and bonnet will not pop open. i always thought it was a bit stiff to open (felt like i was going to pull the lever off!) but now it just isnt doing anything, just want to see if anyone has experienced this or has an idea how i can open it. pretty sure ive got about 0.3l of washer fluid in too =] so could do with filling it up asap. thanks =]

see i must be the only one that likes black wheels so id say keep em black, but i do agree that they would look better with a polished lip and smaller tyres =]

now then i saw this lupo at a meet a few months back but cant for the life of me remember where it was :s all i remember was that there was a large tesco/ asda there and you had to go up a big esculator to the toilets i loved the teddies, made me want some....

yea check strap/ rod £15 from dealer

mine does this i too would like 2 know what the crack could be?...

was 22 when i got my GTI but fully comp i pay £40 a month for 9 months (3 months free) cheeper to insure than my 1.6 audi a3!!

yea dont go 4 the cheeper option because u cant afford it now, save up and get coilovers and you will be happier in the end!!

yea i just bought 4 and paid about 12squiddles for the set and also the quantum oil is like a tenner from vw tps

ebay??

i really like it, and love the idea of that cubby hole behind the gear knob

watch out when you have 'maximum' drop if you are running 13's, heard there can be 'scraping complications' and such. i have 15's but im sure someone will fill you in on more info on this

good luck. they look awsome when done =]

beautiful. really look nice in white - compliments the vw badge

cheers guys ill get on to that asap. much appreciated

a n y o n e ...

i need to replace my cv joint on my gti, and was speaking to my mate who is going to do it for me and he said it would be easier just replacing the driveshaft, but i would like to know if these are different on a gti or would one off any model be just as good? any one had 1st had experiance with this help would be much appreciated =]

mines just started doing this, bikemad can you remember the price you paid for repair? thanks

sorry to drag up a verry old thread, but when i turn right the car makes a sort of 'squeek' noise and it doesnt have to be on full lock either, wondered if anyone had an idea of what this could be? no wheel movement and no knocking and it doesnt do it when i go left..

adrian flux are good i only paid £650 fully comp on my gti and she said i can do as many modifications as i wanted and it wouldnt go up by any more at all just a £25 administration fee each time i declare something, and its like for like mods. inc all the extra crap - legal cover, courtesy car etc

i would get coilovers if it was me - personal choice (they cost a bit more, but in the long run i would say better. if you lowered it on 40mm springs and wanted it lower then you will have to buy more springs and more hassel!) at least with coilovers you can mess about for a bit and then decide on the perfect ride height danny

haha nice one

hi mate, my drivers side window did the same thing a few weeks ago, check the switch first because its the cheepist thing (about £10-£15 i believe) i tried numerous switches and it didnt make a difference so i ruled that out, check the wiring in the loom that passes through your door, i had a few slightly broken wires so i soldered them back up and taped the loom back up, this still didnt make a difference but i guess it needed doing neway to stop problems later on =] lastley i changed the motor, because they are a common problem i believe and more than likley this is what it will be (or the switch) i got a 2nd hand one from scrappers for about £50inc postage popped it in tied evrything back up and success. its been working for 2weeks now no problems. also there is a guide on here somewhere about repairing switches to save a few quid which i found helpful, someone will post it up im sure =] hope this helps. danny no idea with the alarm one sorry =]

i dont think their paint is 'poo' i was just stating that vw paint is better. i have used halfords paint once or twice on all my cars, just wont be from now on
