Im with jarrus. They wanna be good. I think they work so well, because they're not in your face. Thats why the whole car works so well on the eye. because it all compliments each other. Dont be slammin in onto some 20"chromes, lol, it wont have the same effect:amuse:

That is one sweet looking golf. Not too many examples like it aound any more , and thats a shame. What is the finnish on the wheels, it looks great and really stands out against the body colour. Good luck with it in the future, hope she serves you well, and returns the love.

Happy with that bushboy. Its wicked. I dont think its a vehicle i would go for myself, but 10 outta 10 for originality. Is it as fun to own as it looks?

No i thought that. thats gotta be exessive to say the least

Got the call this morning, to say they have a battery in for me. Paid 152notes:amazed::(:amazed: (Told that i wont get one fitted any cheaper. which im kinda hoping is true, as hes normally pretty good to those who know him.)Left the car with them, done a bit of shopping, returned later, to find...

Sorry cant help you with the answer on this one lm, but thanks for posting it. washed the car this afternoon, and same thing. tiny spots of tar all over front wing and one door. tfr didnt really help. good luck.

i did wonder if the bigger names used their older designs for the cheaper end of the market. why spend money on more development of cheaper products.

thats a well good point paul. a sub company could be aimed at one area's conditions only like you stated, but marketed further afield. I had some good advice on here a little while ago when looking for new tyres, i too have the nexens on the rear, so far so good, only about 500miles in, and...

http://www.tiptop-tyres.co.uk/who_makes_which_tyre.html Found this page whilst surfing, and thought id ask people for their thoughts. I know that to some extent, you get what you pay for, and that when in the market for tyres, there are alot of things to consider, but does a budget tyre...

thank you loz and hdi, i know a bit more about what to look for. ill give the company who said they would quote me a bell 2moz and let you know how much lighter my wallet will be. If they have come up with a couple of options price/quality, then ill get the better unit. you dont want a poor...

What is MOPAR: Mopar (short for MOtor PARts) is the automobile parts and service arm of Chrysler Group LLC. Im embarassed i didnt know that. Ive not had the chryslers long. Thinking about it, its written on all the window glass.:embarrest:

What about the fact, that the older old drivers,ie 70+, drove in a time where their were far fewer cars on the road to have to consider, and life did move at a slower pace, also the roads, signs and cars were far less geared towards speed as an essential requirement. I think the first speeding...

looking online at the reason behind them, i think your on the money there herb. if you have a crash and damage it you dont get acid all over the place. and its def a yank thing. looks like the chevy's have got them. they call them "yellow tops" apparently. I think mopar is a brand of battery...

What a gent you are loz, thank you for trying. Ive had so much hassle with chrysler, and main dealers, themselves, that i dont normally try them, but a battery should be simple enough so i will give them a bell 2moz. Now i Know what im asking for, im a bit further down the line, so cheers...

gotta love the side skirts on that. you could smuggle summin in, in them.

Its a bit of a strange one. Both the motor factor, and the battery specialists put the reg in their systems, and both said it needed a standard batt, under the bonnet. Think it was 70 ish ampres/hrs and about 650 cca.

Is it a crd. Mate of mine has a 2.4 petrol, and that has a standard battery. When you say your boss put a normal one on his, do you mean his took a normal one or he adapted it to fit

Evening troops. Had a bit of a kick in the wallet today. Got a call from her indoors today, "The car wont start!" There was no good reason for this, and after asking the usual questions, found out the battery was flat. Nothing had been left sucking power, the car is 7 years old, so i thought id...

Thank you Brett and Paul for your help. A bit of knowledge always helps. Bruvs based in kent, but often comes to see me in the westcountry, so i think ill get him to speak to celtic, ref the points you have raised, and the we can think about getting it booked in. It is true to say that alot of...

Thank you Paul. I understand his apprehension, hell be the first to admit his knowledge is limeted, and there for unsure. Being a familly man too, was concerned about running costs too. Do all remaps, within reason, improve fuel econ, when driven sensibley?

Please can you help convince my brother that he should remap his car. He recentley bought a an a4 tdi, 138bhp. The car is very nice, smart and sporty looking but im trying to convince him that a remap would give him a little extra power, and make the car even more enjoyable to own. The problem...

Straight to the top for me. always a space, and less chance of getting a bang on the door from a clown who dosnt care about your bodywork. (or theirs)

Hello bud, You got some big plans for your first motor. good luck, and enjoy yourself doing it. Its good when you put the time and effort in, then stand back and admire your creation. especially the little bits that make it your own.

That is bad. special driving boot things, at a service station. i would have to have said something, only taking the wee though. Prob reckons he's just coming back from a track day. but hey, if you can afford a ferrari, you can afford a pair of hi tec squash. i drive to work in steel toe caps...

Ive been taking the wifes car to work cos i cant let people see that. i only told you lot cos you dont know me....i hope.

I had a great thought the other week. "Does brake cleaner get the dust and dirt from the corner bits of your alloys"? The answer is "Yes". and my wheels go in on thursday for a complete re furb. all 4. cos they're covered in white streaks that you cant get off with anything other than a...

Thank you guy, ill carry on as before. And while we are at it, could i ask you, or the other chaps on this thread, I have an old honda generator that i picked up recently, the bloke reckons its kaput, i think it cut out cos of no oil, judging by the spec of sludge on the bottom of the stick. ive...

Where do you stand with oils with a high amount of detergent, being used in old high millage engines. I remember years ago being told it would strip all the carbon and build up of detritus about the engine off, leaving more wear in the engine, perhaps in the cylinders, and around the valves...

Like that one.:lol:

One can only imagine how much your academic got paid for that one. :amazed::embarrest::confused:

I lived in germany for a couple of years. They got traffic lights down to a tee. At night they just flash amber and all you do is treat it as a junction, (ie give way to the right over there). No needless queing at lights for no reason.

Living in rainy old devon, it takes me 15-20 mins to do the 12 miles to work, depending on tractor meets. the worst bit for me isnt the queues, but the clowns who do35-40 in the 60, and then 45-50 going through the villages where its 30, and all the kids are on there way to school. If any thing...

I meant to say thanks for all your advice, ref my tyre search. Ive got a few options now, so cheers all.:):):)

Just chanced upon your thread. nice one. cracking motor, us old school might say retro. Took me till my 30th to actully get off my rear and treat myself. Hope it serves you well. rare to see such an example. good luck.

I think thats the secret with a car like a volvo, tastefully done. too many off the wall efforts out there. I looked at a s60 t5, it had been seriously modified, and was kickin out about 320hp, but the body kit, good god over the top. It was polish and a left hooker mind.

She likes to drive the chrysler, and is pretty handy in it, i got a little focus aswell, but it depends what one i take to work and leave her with. The thing with me is i like my diesels. I looked at the d5, not alot of s40s about, s60s, but not to many 40s. I would have bought the t5 because it...

torque, isnt cheap
