  1. Thanks alot for that link Si, undoubtedly it will come in useful!
  2. Hi all. I recently fitted a PCV breather which i bought from Fords for £25. When i fitted it i noticed the flexible breather pipe which connects it to the main air intake pipe is also broken. I was wondering if any of you know where i can get this piece of pipe cheaply. Will Fords stock it? I've currently bodged it with a piece of non flexible coolant pipe and the lack of flexibility is putting a strain on the PCV breather i fitted. Is it gonna cause a problem if i run the car for a few days without the PCV connected to anything? Pic of the pipe i need bellow. [link]http://i229.photobucket.c
  3. Thanks for the replies guys, very helpful. I replaced the PCV breather, got the part from Fords as advised by SiGainey for £25...happy with that By the way, that part number was correct mate, cheers! Fitting it was easy, trickiest part being getting the VW hose clips off, they must be crimped on or something. Had one problem though, the flexible pipe that connects the PCV to the main air intake pipe was also split i discovered, so i've bodged the connection with a length of coolant pipe. Does anyone know if i can also get this part from Fords? Pic below. As for the head gasket, that seems
  4. Hi all. My ABS light lit up this morning and stayed on all the way to work. On the way home it was fine. I've been scratching my head about this and have remembered that the light came on just as/after i span my wheels pulling out of a junction (the road was greasy). I was wondering if any of you would know why a wheelspin would cause the ABS light to come on? Could it have anything to do with the Electronic Differential Lock low speed traction control? Has anyone else noticed the ABS light coming on after wheel spinning? Cheers
  5. First of all thanks to all those who replied to my first post, it's great to feel welcome It's pissing with rain here today hence i have a day off work and some time to make this post. First a bit of history on the car. Btw apologies if this turns out to be a long post and i hope i'm posting it in the right place! As some of you know a friend of mine gave me his VR6. He bought it 6 years ago with 140k on the clock and it has now done 165k. High i know. The car failed an MOT 6 months ago due to the ABS light staying on. It needed a new ABS Control Unit ( i think that's what it's called) and
