Pics are in my sig link below I think ;)

Do you still have that laptop or access to a laptop.

I may be able to get you a VAGCOM (compatible) cable on loan so you can check the comms

Gendan are usually top notch.

Am I right in thinking the B5 OBD is in the central console? Can you pull the connector out of it's 'home' to check the wiring behind it?

Without stating the blindingly obvious, you do have the ignition on (turned to acc), right?

What reader is it?

Oooh, wondered where you'd been.

I'm spotting a bit of a recurring Recaro theme in your motors ;)

...as turning your engine on and off all the time courses damage to your engine, and uses more fuel. Hmm, not to disagree, but I'm not sure that is the case with more modern engines. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/driving/news/article4769485.ece" onclick="window.open(this.href);return f...

I've got a non-fog light switch I can post to you if you want?

I got made CotM too, but I'm nowhere near this kinda level.

Makes me feel proud to be in the same company.

Nice work Pete, and a darn fine car you've built yourself there - very well deserved 8)

Race you to the leather interior :shock: Same as mine dude, no idea if its common though. I know my back hurts now :( hi sam fittedthat spare set ...

Update time. Nothing cosmetic but a few ideas in the air at the moment - lower front spoiler from another VAG vehicle is one idea ;) Mechanically I've just done timing belt, water pump, all belts and fluids changed. New MOT (sailed through). Switched back to stock wheels for a brief jaunt down to th...

It's sent

The receiver hasn't yet read it though ;)

I'm sure there was a question here but when I clicked all I could see was syncromat's avatar.

Well, 5 hours have passed, my eyes have dust on them, must get on. Good luck with whatever was being discussed.

You missed the mighty W8

Sometimes you're lucky and a new head is all it needs other times it's new valves, pistons and so on. Fingers crossed you're on...

More if you click my sig pic ;)

Perfect stance Daz.

The numberplate is really familiar and I don't know why

So hold on, he missed the Micra, he missed the Frog Eyed Fiat and got you?!

Thought the post was going to be a loss of a family member or something too, glad it's "only" a car <ducks>
