    Have you tried it back in the car? Once it's all fastened against the dash and all the light has to bounce through the White parts it may be bright enough? Was thinking of doing this to mine in just the standard green cos your right the 1 little bulb and spider thing is rubbish!

    You do tend to see open cones use a bit more petrol cos the engine is getting more, and less restricted, air, this is the whole point of a cone filter, but with open cones you get horrendous hear soak aswell and you'll actually be down on power and using more petrol. A sealed cone like a BMC CDA 85-150 is the best filter you can put on this car, but new it's pricey. People sell them on here every now and then and they crop up on eBay but they are still expensive second hand.

    from a four door golf R32 to bora coupe

    it will prime on accesory position but you prob cant hear it as they are quiet in operation. the corrado and obd1 golf are the same fuel pump. It could be the one way check valve in the pump, there was a big failure of these in 95 or something and VW made a retro fit valve kit. These can obviously fail or start to leak after many years too. Fitted for £12 its worth a punt it could also be a leaky fuel pressure regulator or leaky injectors. but the inline valve would be the cheapest and easiest first option. I would also advise that if you replaced the fuel pressure regulator make sure you

    Well, I got on and fixed it lol I snipped a small length of nail and put it in the recess, as I only put a dot of glue on it pried apart ok, it's all working as it should now and I've got the function of being able to emergency unlock it too. Thanks for the tip mate

    Yea it looks like something should go into the extra little recess, I'm gout to take a look round my local breakers to see if they have a mk3 I may be able to take from, but if I don't have any luck it'd be great if you did have those 2 parts, if not I might be able to pry mine apart and cut a little section of screw or nail like you said Cheers

    yea i just read that through i said it the wrong way round oops, sposed to be if it doesNT

    jeremy clarkson said that about the RS5 on top gear

    my boot button has been playing up, it wont always unlock with the remote. ive tracked the problem down to the little round slider mechanism that engages or disengages the button to the latch, it seems like its supposed to grip to unlock and it physically pulls to lock, so it will always lock but the unlocking side of the process is slipping so wont engage the button with the latch. As a temporary fix ive put a dot of super glue between these 2 parts so they are now 1 and the mechanism works properly, locking and unlocking fine. But i cant now use the emergency key position to open the boot if

    the best way to tell is if your car is running like a bag of crap, unplug it and see if it gets worse, if it does then your maf has probaboy had it, shame a device doesnt exist to just check them, but there isnt. they are delicate little flowers and break if you look at them, im sure thats by design so you have to give VW another hundred quid! lol

    my nearly 80 year old great uncle has the V10 RS6 Avant, scares the absolute sh!t outta me when ive been in the car with him

    the pads are identical for 288 and 312, the only difference in the callipers is that on the 312s the piston is a couple of mm bigger. even if you have 288 brakes you can fit 312mm pads and they often work out cheaper than if you buy pads specifically for the vr6

    my brother has that too, its massive, it says that its the fastest around and everything but doing real tasks back to back with my iphone4 its pretty much even

    bought it a long time ago like 7 years it was £140 i think
  15. Lukey.
    yea, classic momo millenium for me like you say its not original but it is the best

    looks like a car that could sell for 10 times what you paid! awesome bargain
  17. Lukey.
    it could have been a looked after car but then the engine went and they didnt have enough cash to sort it out properly so dropped the cheapest runner they could find in it and put it up for sale. Have you checked the engine number to see if it matches the V5?
  18. Lukey.
    the role of that particular vac line take-off is to keep the valve shut until pressure from the engine side forces it open, its very important to block it and make sure its sealed as vac lines do all sorts of stuff around the engine and ancillaries and bad vacuum can cause many things to stop working properly

    there are various rover v8s from 3.1 up to 5.0

    like the alcantara kneeboards and headlining, whats it sound like with only 5 pistons?
  21. Lukey.
    you dont need the sensor, as you say its a dummy sensor, this is only a real sensor in some markets that require it for extreme cold, if its a dummy you can negate it completely and just cable tie the connector out of the way. that intake tube looks identical to a bonrath power rohr, which is less that half the price and will be bought from much closer to home as they are mostly sold from germany. You will need to plug the vacuum line for the crankcase valve aswell to maintain a sealed vacuum system cos otherwise your ecu will chuck all sorts of error codes due to incorrect vac pressure. if yo
  22. Lukey.
    no the crankcase will have positive pressure, but the filter is needed so you dont get anything falling into the hole and inside your engine. with just a filter it will smoke and steam and will stink and gas you out, if you can tolerate this then leave it as it is it wont do anything untoward to your engine apart from maybe affect fuelling as its supposed to be a sealed system and the air it is now venting to atmosphere the ecu has accounted for in the MAF

    there is also a rolling slip test to compliment the stall slip test as ive had clutches slip while driving but would still stall at standing, going like 20 or 30mph in fifth to keep the revs very low just bury the throttle, the revs should build slowly and smoothly along with your speed, if the revs build quickly and/or spikily but your speed doesnt its clutch slip, basically the same thing you are experiencing except when you do it i bet youre in a low gear and higher revs, if its happening at the opposite end of the scale, high gear low revs then its definite clutch slip

    you can see how the tax with 3rd party insurance would go towards the uninsured drivers problem, youd have the same issue as it is right now, no tax or insurance, as atm you need valid insurance to get a valid tax disc. This would also affect the honest people more on top of everything already as you would obviously have to have some kind of tiered system of how much youd have to pay for this built in insurance, or if it was a mean of ever so many quotes youd have the people who should be paying more being under charged in chelsea tractors and porsches and the people in small cars paying over
