Well done mate

Always followed your updates as its a crackin wagon

Was the best thing we've ever done moving away from that estate, We're now in a nice house with more importantly a drive with gates so my cars off the street
tbh was the only reason I wanted the house

Funny you should mention that, it was usually 1993 season Newcastle shirts wearers

Low lifes, I hate it when people do things to cars :evil: I came out one morning to find a wheel barrow on the roof of my car upside down, that had scratched the hell outa the roof :sad: wtf Andy Even I haven't pee'd off people that much Didn't pee anyone off bud, It was just the type of estate it ...

Yeah, still check at least every couple of days, and I keep 2 litres of ready mixed g12 in the boot for emergencys :esm , any deviation above 90 degrees on that temp guage and i'd pull straight over and kill the engine I do still want them mate yes, just let me know when your free to meet up, next w...

I never lose more that about 500ml, certainly its a weird one :???: My heaters used to occasionally dip cold then go hot again, although its never done it now for over 3 weeks since I replaced the expansion tank cap, I have to knock mine right back as it gets too hot as they are really good in mine ...

I'm the same, When I serviced mine I did everything bar the fuel filter, mine has developed an annoying flat spot at around 2k in 3rd gear onwards

Last documented change for my fuel filter was 60k, on 190k now
I reckon my tight bum 2nd hand maf could be heading south aswell

Welcome along mate

Whereabouts in the north east are u from?

Sure I recognise the astra coupe from AOC, were you a member on there?

Looking good mate :esm I like where your going with the carbon trim, never been a fan of plastic wood, always reminds me of Rovers :???: You got a link for those bulbs? Ive looked a few times on the bay but never can find them, on a budget so hids are out of the question, and the headlights are usel...

Yeah so glad I slept on it, if it had been during the day i'd have probably swapped :0 Ive done that so many times in the past, jumped in a swapped cars without thinking it through properly I swapped a W red Mitsubishi Galant for a P reg Escort Cabriolet a few years ago, and the damn thing neirly th...

oh fiddlesticks!,oh fiddlesticks!,oh fiddlesticks! :hyst The swear filter is a hoot aint it :D In another thread I say I liked willy rock, as in not a willy as in a male bird rock as its a form of 80's hair rock. classic :D If its the front wings and they're bolt on, I would just change them, by th...

Came close to swapping the Passat this morning, For a Escort Cabriolet :???: I actually agreed to swap lastnight, however had a restless night talking myself in and out of swapping, to the point where I had next to no sleep and had stessed myself out to the max In the end it was the Mrs that convinc...

That's a win for me then , they do look quite sporty with the bolsters, I'm fed up of falling out of my seats on corners

Looking good mate, I must admit aswell it looked nice sitting on those 17"s

Not a fan of the seats, just the pattern, if they were all black they would look superb

You know im right ;) ;) ;)

I've got an appointment at the docs at the end of the week for help and advice on stopping

If I packed in altogether, in 2 weeks, i'd have the cash for coilies

Not much by the way of updates Gave her a good wash a clean yesterday as it was a nice day, the mrs even came out and watched, which is more than what she usually has to do with my cars http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa410/Roylewaa/IMG_0664.jpg http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa410/Roylewaa...

I'm doing one of my back arches when the weather improves, i'l do a how to with loads of pics I have to say though its a nightmare to get a good match with rattle cans, especially if its metallic paint, it's all in the prep work as said already, alot rush to the spraying part which is when it goes w...

Hi mate, If you have a look through the B5/B5.5 specific forum you will see that this issue is fairly common (I have it myself, I don't lose a drop with steady driving, but if I boot it is vents out the bottom of my header tank on overpressure) Are there any issues with the cars temperature or heate...

If they're the same engine as the passat, which i'm fairly sure they are it might be venting coolant from the bottom of the expansion tank on overpressure, which can be caused by a number of reasons Check under the tank for any signs of wetness after a drive (make sure coolant is topped up to max) o...

Welcome mate

Nice choice, 'i'm starting to miss a petrol car if I have to be honest

Well I managed to attach a bottle to the overflow this morning and went out for a drive, 10 miles of driving hard, revving up past 4k, stopped and checked, the 500ml bottle was about just under a quarter full Then went out for another drive, 10 miles or so, steady driving keeping under 3k, not a dro...

Welcome

What model did you go for, im guessing a b5 afn tdi?

I regretted selling my B4 as soon as I saw it driving away,but when I drove the new Passat,2001 1.8T SE wagon the regret was gone,the b5 is so much more refined and better built. :D I was like that with a Mazda 323f, I was fine until I saw it drive off and found myself getting a little emotional :(...
