    Timing Belt Change

    I went with the 60,000 mile bit not 4 years. So now at just over 5 years and 56,500 miles, quotes for a cam belt and water pump with 2 local independent dealers are £397.00 or £350.00. Some of the prices on here seem really low to me. :cry: Why did you tie in to a dealer to begin with...

    Advise on an Extended warranty?

    Do you mean having a service contract/warranty thing? I'd do a Google search and check out a few others. Then try playing one off against the other for a better deal. Remember that sales people earn money by selling things (ie commission). Don't assume that the person you're talking to is...

    Really need help fitting interior mods

    It'd be easier to help if you let us know what you're dealing with. :shrug: Which cars and levels of trim? What 'bits and bobs' are you trying to fit? Re the steering wheel, depends if you have an air bag and/or head unit controls. This might throw some light on gear knob removal...

    will i have problems when i fit my hid kit?

    Please be aware I'm speaking as an Ibiza driver. :) I bought an HID kit on ebay for my car. In the box were 2 bulbs, 2 ballast units and wiring with fitted connectors. All the power is taken from the wires that connect to the original bulbs. Just removed existing bulbs, drilled the bulb...

    vag.com 409-1

    Why did you buy any VAG-COM software? :confused: The software is free from Ross-Tech. http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/download/ What you need is a Ross-Tech interface which has a user licence included. http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/interfaces.html Or a licence for a third party...

    F1 to move from silverstone to donnington

    I'm not sure that after so much time Silverstone has sorted out it's transport infrastructure either! :shrug: From 4.30am to 9.00pm Friday, Saturday and Sunday, a section of the A43 is closed to anyone not going to the Grand Prix. 53,000 vehicles travelled to the circuit over the three days...

    Mods that affect warranty ?

    Do you have a problem with tints?

    Mods that affect warranty ?

    Hi mate. Can't think of any reason why tints will affect your manufacturers warranty. Just on the visual side of things you could also remove the rear badges and change the rad grill if you want to de badge, fit a bee sting aerial, aero wipers or side air deflectors. If you fit other mods such...

    Cost of accident repair?

    Hi Danny. Had a very similar accident myself about 3 weeks ago. :( To cut a long story short the other driver had to admit liability as I was stationary and he drove into the rear of my car. Mines going in next Tuesday to be repaired at no cost to me at all and my no claims bonus is safe...

    Front Grille

    I bought mine from this bloke (so did a few others on SCN). http://stores.ebay.co.uk/goingfast-shop_W0QQsspagenameZL2QQtZkm Looks like he doesn't have any grills for late models at the moment but it might be worth dropping him a line. He was pretty good when I contacted him. Got mine in...

    Front grille and boot badge!

    Any idea what happened to the rear wiper? Removed or never fitted? Car looks pretty good though! :) Regards Guy.

    Front grille and boot badge!

    Open the bonnet and lever up (but do not try to pull out) the domed plastic pins in the centres of the 2 locating pegs on the top of the grill. Then remove both the locating pegs in one piece. If you do this carefully you can reuse the pegs on the new grill. Now the tricky bit if you want to...
