I'm here to help...:icon-biggrin: btw those Li-ion batteries are sodding useless.

surprised at that as it's all electronic now - they'll know the car is taxed. I didn't have to send tax or proof of insurance - they just looked it up ....

they tell you it'll take a couple of weeks - the MOT and tax disc plus a V948 authorisation letter will arrive first then the new V5 will arrive in 4-6 weeks. I did it in January - the V5 arrived in 5 working days and the other docs 3 days later. You can get the plates made up on the V5 and...

have you checked the batteries?

TBH there's no damage - the towbar might have moved 2 or 3mm but I can't be sure because I didn't know if the mounting plates were flush before! I'm not going to put in a spurious claim because that would be fraud. Everyone was OK and I'm just pleased to be able to give the score as Amazon 1-0...

we had some near Glossop. About 20 mins - then the sun went down and it froze. This slid into me.....the square imprint on his number plate is where he hit the cover on the towbar

I've got one somewheer if I can find it.....

cheers Stu

that's why we put a cover on it - as far as possible it's enclosed. That's a bit like saying the 1HD-FTE doesn't last long if you don't change the oil. We do heavier duty cantilever ones that sit inside - a double step. We also replace the ones that other people have provided - we've got a...

spot on. It's got a growing list of jobs want doing....:icon-rolleyes:

nothing smart ass about that Stu - spot on. Export market is growing and we have to get them 100% right as fixing them out in the field is a problem. We just did a trial order of 10 to the Middle East for a national ambulance service, and a similar order to HK goes out this week. It's that...

Like I said at the start of the thread - we've got a mile of this stuff to cut. Orders come in without any pattern ergo no idea how to cut the tread to reduce wastage. The ally comes in 5m lengths so it's a pain to hire a van or get a haulier to take 2 or 3 lengths every time to a subbie to...

That's the thing for truing it up - but Wadkin - that's serious money. Plus we haven't got 3 phase and the installation costs are large - plus the landlord won't pay so we'd have to move units. ah well - thanks for the suggestioins - the bandsaw looks like an option if the dewalt doesn't work...

yes it's a pain. This is what we're using now I'll try getting something like this to square it up - mebbe not as grand as that might be

we tried the circular saw - because of the ridges on top it won't push through properly and keeps snagging. So we bought a big radial saw but even that doesn't cut neatly. We'll probably have to take it somewhere with a big mutha of a table saw. We've got about a mile of this stuff to cut up...

If it's anything like the VAG ones they'll just read the code - but won't let you reset it or map it out. It looks like it's 20 euros so don't expect much....

they get an alloy runner screwed to the side - so need to be precise so that no gap shows. eg We tried a table saw but you can't get it pushed through the blade without catching - hence we are now trying to keep the ally held in position and pass the blade through it with the radial saw. We...

Hi Has anyone got any experience with plasma cutters? We need to cut extruded aluminum - it's a profiled aluminium about 10mm high by 120mm wide. We've tried a radial arm saw with a proper aluminum blade but the cut isn't fine enough for what we want. We also tried a bench saw but that...

How did you do that then? I've been asking for them for ages but no response in the wanted section.........

Looking for 100 series rear diff locker to fit 2004 car 100 series steering column motor for '04 car 120 series front bumper (metallic grey??) pls pm me if you can help

Anyone have any of these parts.?

perfect - thanks a lot!

cheers - I must be slow today - how does twisting the solenoid stop it opening the EGR actuator?

Yes I think you can - but it still leaves you with the original choked up EGR which upsets the fuel consumption. That's the real issue - not only does it light up the EML it makes it use more fuel. Sigh.

Just looking at your first post and the photo - you took out the T piece, and the small hose to "EGR cut VSV". You then unbolted the solenoid marked "EGR cuct VSV", but what does "twitted it slightly" mean? :think:

What did you do - blank it off or remove all the plumbing and EGR itself? Any electrical gremlins as a result? That VW electrical stuff makes me wary..... And a decrease in fuel consumption?

Just bumping this old thread. Did you do the delete warenpfo? Which way did you do it and what are the results? I'm interested in the method to block the vacuum pipe that runs to the EGR actuator / valve to disable the EGR if anyone has the details for how to do this. Are there any further...

Great! Good news! Which skip? :icon-rolleyes:

I posted a link to the right 100 series cheap one - mysteriously it's ended in the hour since my post!?!?!?! Let me know on the LED ones - although they might be too much bling!

they look like 120 series. I think these are the LED ones http://tinyurl.com/d79xjg7 - they look like they take an HB4 bulb as well - so the LED bit would be day running lights? Hmm - would need to see those in action These are the cheapo ones...

Ken Are these new or are these from a breaker? I also need a drivers side one plus the HB4 fitting for a 2004 100 series.

Probably not - if it didn't feel right then you did the right thing. You just have to be patient and one will come up eventually. If you are impatient you'll end up paying - but as Chris has said you need to be prepared to act when you find one that you think is reasonable. All ones you see...

minor update Minor update So I was going to come on here and talk about now being more motivated to sell - seeing as I'd found another and only having space for one... However - that "deal" fell through. It was this - the 100 on ebay with the odd gearbox fault - I was getting it for a...

So it's back on ebay and the idiot emails have already started. I know I'm supposed to be patient and nice at Xmas but it's difficult when faced with people asking you what mpg it will do the gallon and why I'm selling it if it's a good one...one guy asked me for more pics and then asked if it...

still for sale - I had the usual emails about rusty tailgates (which the ad says it doesn't have) and leaks in the footwell (nope again) - even had a few offers but I'm not desperate to sell - one guy tried to p/ex two numberplates and when I declined offered me his 60 plate shogun - obviously...

I've got Ring bulbs - Xenon Max - in my 80 and they are a significant improvement. I had HIDs in a 100 series but didn't fit them into the 80. I recommend the Ring bulbs.

I'm selling my red 80. Pics as below. I would part ex it against a nice 100 series or sell outright. £4500 obo - I'll try it here first to see if there is any interest. UK car, leather and 12v auto. 7 seats (yes - they are in the back). Pics as below or see the thread here for more pics...
