Re: Failure to start...possible glow plugs?
Shouldnt really need glow plugs much at the moment. Stick a meter on the battery and turn the ignition on. If it drops below 10-11V the most likely low or knackered batetry. I have a drop tester but i think your too far for the leads to reach.

Re: Boot sales!
I go to two every Sunday. The problem is now is that people see it as a way to try and make a living. Not to get ri of their unwanted items. I've picked up loads of Snap On as I can spot it a mile away. I now have a small collection of S o ratchets that date from 1936-1943. All around the 50p mark. ...

Re: Cranks but won't start.
You need to hook up vcds, and look at the rpm if it is less than about 260 it won't even try,I don't think they put fuel in bellow 240 rpm or something. You need a charged up battery and a running car at about 1200rpm plus with big jump leads prefebly two sets and give it a blast with vcds and get ...

Re: New Cambelt and Lowered.
How are you finding the apex springs now they've been on a while? Definitely on my to do list - they weren't joking when they called it a highline! Spot on to be honest. The ride isnt as hard as i was expecting, and the cornering is much better. I did however encounter a kerb on the jacking pint un...

I'm thinking of the odd occasion when I use it as a sat nav. Never use it whilst driving.

Where do you mount your Mobile?
Hi guys.
Where do you mount your mobile? I hate the clip in veny ones, and not a huge fan of window sticky ones. I normally make a bracket to fit something on the dash I can replace when I sell.
What have you guys done?

Re: Thread on turbine housing knackered - help
If your willing to take it off then youll be able to do a more permanent repair. I repaired Turbines in a Nuclear Station by welding up the hole and retapping. Either that or get it tapped out to the next size.

Re: What did you do to your Passat today?
My wheels are on my list. I've heard a couple of 500ml cans should do it.
At least if you don't like them, just patiently peel it off.
