Like!

There are none so blind as those that will not see.

I remember 5 star petrol but it was before I was driving. As for the really expensive diesel, I think it is a waste of money. I do however always go out of my way to find a shell station and use the fuel-save normal stuff. EGR valve when I bought the car five years ago with 90,000 miles on it http:...

Hi, The price for a remap on the CR 140bhp is £299. 140->175bhp 320->390Nm. Chester is no problem. The price for the remap and egr delete on the 140PD is £229. I'm in Chesterfield. Rgds Simon. Thanks Simon. I'll get saving! I'm actually from Chesterfield mate. Only moved to the North West 4 years...

Clean!

I was a bit skint a few years back and needed to replace an ageing 2002 Focus which was decent but starting to cost money. I had not long since started seeing a girl 70 miles away (we are married with two kids now) so needed something cheap to run for the regular commute to hers. Bought a 2004 Clio ...

Wow! Love this car. Fantastic mate.

That's because it's only a visual check. If it's more thorough in the future you will struggle.

Looks great Raf! Anything else happening with anyone's B7's at the mo?

Not with mine. We had a baby girl on Friday and I haven't even drive nit since. Been using the wife's Fiesta for short trips. I. Am. Knackered! But she is so worth it.

Sorry for the proud new dad post!

Simon,

What's the price on just the Remap on a 2011 2.0Tdi 140?

You're mobile right? Do you cover around Chester?

Thanks!

DPF's reduce particulates. The clues in the name. Currently it's a visual check but that will change eventually. Not worth it in my opinion.

Nah, just unlocks.

Has anyone managed to get their b7 estate to boot pop. Ive seen golfs with this and i assume as the estate boot opens all the way itself once manually opened then it shouldnt take much to make it auto open? Also.... The middle button on the key fob, what does this do? It does not unlock my boot whe...

Both look great. B8's look great.

You going to go for those wheels Raf?

Some of you may remember I said about tinting Windows myself, but it proved to be very difficult. Well, the most difficult was back curved window as its an estate the window is curved a looot. However, after few trials and after doing all the side Windows (excluding front passenger and driver windo...

Booked 5 nights in Cornwall in a cracking looking cottage a couple of days ago. Just me, the wife and kids in June. Nice 300 mile drive to get there. Should get to know the Passat very well!

Mate looks good that's what I was planning to do next when I come back easy to take badges off ? Yeah took 20 minutes or so. Wanted to use fishing line to get behind them but couldn't find any so used an old bank card. Carefully removed the badges by pushing the card behind them which was easy then...

Think my name gives away who I support :(( :(( Think we will be joining QPR next season with our bunch of overpaid, overpriced pre-maddona's Newcastle have players good enough to have stayed up this season although to many of their hearts are not in it. They need a huge clear out. The biggest mista...

looks good mate :-bd Cheers! Just needs a real good clean/polish/seal now as soon as the weather and me actually having some time allows. I cleaned some bird sh@t off the bonnet last week and it made a right mess. I think the bird had been eating rocks or something. I can really notice the scratche...

Ebay link for springs...

Did my MCL in recently , do you get a weird tingling when stood up with ACL ? No mate. It's quite strange. There hasn't been much pain since actually doing the injury. It just doesn't feel right at all. Very unstable. Walking/driving etc are fine but I'm being very conscious to keep my leg straight...
