Koop Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Went to pick up the loop at the weekend so I can finally sort my brakes out: epic fail - wouldn't jump, wouldn't bump, needs a new battery. FML. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted January 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 New battery sorted, got her home, drove her to work this morning, because I can Started snowing so it may be snowplough time on the way home #winningMy love for the loop is returning. MOT's coming up in march so I've informed Mrs Koop I'll be throwing some money at the car next month How much do I wish I had enough to throw at it for this.... http://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?app=classifieds&module=core&do=view_item&item_id=1925 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Brakes sorted finally. Needs a new universal joint for the steering column, not a steering rack as the tools at Crewe Seat told me Anyone need a steering rack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted February 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Steering column ordered...can't get the UJ on its own apparently Full price thanks to Lupoboz's paypal issues Still, getting there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James827 Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Can you not buy 2nd had koop? im sure it would be fine, just make sure there's no play in the joint! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted February 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Fella off the CL facefook page was gonna do me one but never got back to me & I needed to get it ASAP really. Should have tried breakers really, d'oh. Better to have a new one to make damn sure it'll get through the MOT though I s'pose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan S Jones Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 once you're Mot'd you need to update your thread with some fresh lupo pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted March 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 I totally do. I've only taken one lately, to show the disgusting state of it after being parked on the road for a couple of weeks Steering column should be done this week, along with cranking up the coilies & sticking the 16s back on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thissy Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Wish id looked at this thread earlier, could have given you a steering rack i have two knocking about!Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted March 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Really wanted to set fire to the loop yesterday, it took 2 blokes all day to sort the steering column, thought it was going to cost me a fortune...however I went down this morning & it's all sorted & they only wanted 80 quid which is pretty good considering! Unfortunately somehow during the process the driver's door lock got buggered (the only one that works!) and the airbag light's now on. They ordered a lock kit from their dub guys which they've had a go at this afternoon & only charged another fiver for, no idea til the morning whether it's done the trick though cos I'm working til 7. Wish me luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted March 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Well my door opens woohooooo....steering's now toight loike toiger ...but the wheel's on at a ridiculous angle & doesn't auto cancel the indicators ...also they've connected my window switches back up the right way round...I'd swapped them cos the driver's switch didn't work so now i can't open my window Airbag light's still on, they reckon it's not an MOT fail anymore hmmm....well at least with the door working I can get it booked in for a service at VW now, so we're getting there. MOT's up on the 22nd so got a bit of time to get stuff sorted, though cash is dwindling fast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James827 Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 find out what the Fault with the air bag system is, might need clearing as they removed it, or the air-bag slip-ring could be fudged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted March 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 They showed me while it was off, there's a wire that supposed to be coiled up inside a little plastic housing and it was all over the place so looks like it had been bodged previously. Might be able to sort it by re-coiling it they reckon but they're shut til the week after next now. Don't fancy messing with the airbag myself in case it blows up in my face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James827 Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 yes, i believe that is the slip ring ahaha, one of my mates has stripped one before, get one off a 6N in a scrapyard! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted March 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 So with spring just around the corner, I finally got round to putting the loop in winter mode First after a couple of weeks neglect parked on the road...Mingin' Vaguely clean, back from the garage at work...Camera doesn't like dark much Now yesterday's work...Rears first, they were a pain in the arseLoving the massive rake Can totally see me doing front 15s/rear 16s in future....matching wheels though obviously Fronts done...decided this was a bit too flush so raised probably another 10 mm...The fronts only needed a little persuasion with the C-spanner, mainly cranked up by hand. Just had to keep brushing crap out of the threads.Took her for a test drive...tyres got ate...So had to crank her up some more on the front...Ewwww, arch gap Now sits like this...quite like it actually...Rear still needs to come up a tad as it's scrubbing on bumps. Got the week off so will have a crack one day. Having done it once I reckon I could get away without taking the wheels off so that should make it quicker 4x4 stance...at least it looks that way to me after nearly a year on the deck haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted March 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 In other news I saw an Up worthy of a flash yesterday, it had a matt black bonnet & some stickers & ****. I've seen it around getting slowly less standard & I suspect it may have been its first flash from another dub, bless. Thought I'd show a bit of solidarity for the diminutive dub crew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted March 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Waiting for Mrs Koop to finish her theory test, wish her luck! There was a bora parked behind me with a halfrauds special renault stylee 'sport' badge on :facepalm: Thankfully it's gone now, it was offending me greatly and I was fighting the urge to rip the shitty badge off 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted March 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 She passed woohoo! Now wish me luck, changed a bulb on the loop & she's all ready for service & MOT at VW tomorrow.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
