I have the LEDs from Halfords. Been on ages now. Only thing is, make sure they both work before you refit the light as theyre polarity conscious.
Id put one in the wrong way and it wouldnt work! Took headlight out again (I have the Xenons so easier) and sorted it.

Yeh sorry, thats what I meant LOL

I spoke to a specialist. He said they mostly have one per side, but if I wanted to fir these pads, that to just cut the old 'pad' wire at the pad and it should be fine.

RIght guys, SOMEONE who's changed the pads must know if the cars have ONE pad with the wire or two? Just been doing some research and it appears the Golfs (and therefore every other car on the list!) has a wire on the front passengers side... http://uk-mkivs.net/forums/p/232187/1494722.aspx" on...

I just got my new EBC Green Stuff pads today to go on the 312mm disc convertion. Unwrapped the box and only one of the pads has a wire on. Is this normal? Two have the srping thing on the back, but only one has a wire. I havent checked, but I think BOTH my fornt calipers have a wire on the pads.... ...

Can i hi-jack with a few questions? Am i right in thinking my non drive by wire '98 1.8t doesn't have an N75 valve? I was also wondering how an induction kit would work regarding the intercooler? (like this http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/Performance/Air_Filters_&_Accessories/K&N_Filters_57i_...

90 is fine in this weather or when youre giving it beans at least! Its when it starts to go much above that you need to start worrying LOL

(Assumign these VW gauges are accurate LOL!)

Bad times! I seriously HATE main dealers. Only ever had BAD experiences when Ive had to deal with them for company cars (since 1994, my own cars have all been too old to warrant MD treatment LOL!) Find yourself a good specialist I reckon once its out of warranty (assuming its not?) Whats the age and...

Mine shows signs of having weeped from the oil filter/cooler housing. But doesnt lose any water now, so Im not worried and not interested in clearing the 'mess' that remains around the housing for fear of disturbing the cure LOL !

No idea, but I gotta do mine this week/next. To be honest, Im thinking its gonna be a right PITA to get a torque wrench in there! ALso, can you tell me what size hex the mounting brackets(carriers) are held onto the hub with front and back? Went to do the rears the other day and theyve only gone and...

Jimmy, if you think its running lean then dont use max boost at all and it might be advisable to fit some cooler plugs.

The higher the number, the cooler they are.

In my line of work 'B' is positive (and it looks to be the same on these friggin Vdubs!)

Short to + would give you max voltage= Full tank.

Thats what I reckon.

Im convinced I pulled the fuse out on the Friday and hadnt put it back properly when I was checking for the fault with the Cig Lighter (before I found the damn fuse card!). Im 99% sure they were working fine when it was serviced on the Thursday NEVER keen to change fuse ratings. You can go DOWN but ...

Mine works fine with the std 10Amp

Or did at least LOL!

Ill keep an eye on it...

Will do!

Cant remember the last time I had this many heavy boxes to open at Xmas let alone in July LOL

Well, scratch that! Managed to sort out sourcing all the bits a bit cheaper than I had originally expected, so Ive gone the 312mm route :) Rears worked out more expensive though, as I went for OEM (Pagid) kit from ECP. Came in at nearly £60 just for the rears! :shock: Fronts, I got some half decent...

Well, checked the card, checked the fuses and one of thems popped! RESULT! Put in a spare and it works, so Im putting it down to a freak as they seem to work fine. ALso, the fuse was only just broken, I had to look real close to spot it was blown. THanks for all the input. You never know, it might h...

Yes mate. All good advice. Still not sure what to do tho now!

Need to sort it tho. But Im trying to get a decent price on the 312 set up too! LOL

Sounds more like the part number is for a model that has them colour coded.

Gonna have a crack at getting motivated tomorrow.

Spacers are fine, same as different offsets.

Yeh I stil have the fuse card.

I just cant be arsed to go check at the mo! LOL

Err Mothercare?

If you put different sizes on I think youre asking for trouble tbh.

Any difference in the gearing will wear the transmission out sooner.

You need to stick the same size rubber on front and back and the same stretch. However, you can get away with different offsets front and back as far as I know.
