  1. http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk Is a good place to look. Every car i've owned, i've had a pioneer headunit, may be worth having a look into. As above steering controls work apart from the phone button.
  2. That made me chuckle! RT they are awesome! I'm guessing you need a lot of patience and time to do that?
  3. All I'd say is, stop trying at this stage. Had an issue with a friends car, kept trying to start it etc, ended up seizing the engine and causing a lot more unnecessary damage.
  4. Funnily enough, after letting her have a sleep that night, started her up in the morning and everything's been fine since. *Touches Wood*
  5. Time to get the duck tape out then
  6. Tbf I didn't even think of anything like this untill I had a quick look through the logs and found that document, so worth a go as you say.
  7. Are they really this much???? I need a new one for the outside of the drivers side. Oh god..
  8. Cheers pal, checked the logs, has a FSNH, but lacks Bodywork checks, after reading the forum people seem to have been successful without this check At the end of the day, rust is rust and the warranty states 12 years etc. If needs be, will just mention to them about the law and court
  9. Never mind, did some digging and found similar threads, time to try my luck with the dealerships. If anyone's had this and got it approved in the Portsmouth area, let me know:)
  10. Was going through the manual and in the warranty section, States: Perforation from corrosion Warranty. Covers inside to outside perforation. 6-12 Years Unlimited miles. Now would the above be applicable for rust bubbles appearing? Would I be covered under this warranty to be looked at? or have I just asked a daft question. Cheers Matt
  11. Was meant to post this sooner, this cars last MOT only had one Advisory - 001 Advise Drivers Rear chassis leg damaged but does not affect strength. How much of a problem is this? Does it need fixing? How big of a job/cost is this? Cheers Matt
  12. Mine is only crunching in 5th, which is fine because I never use 5th 4th to 6, if you need 5th you are driving too fast shame mine does it on 6th :/ Say about 4k Revs in 4th straight to 6th and you can hear it crunching it Slower speeds under 60mph and it slots in perfectly fine.
  13. I'll keep an eye out friday, I'm across the duel carriage way at Peta (Next to playzone) on a training course. Not happy, car park is full today, had to park on the side of the road (Not the Duel Carriage)
  14. Might have to take a look at that, once I get over my Dota2 Addiction.
  15. As above, at a training course all week, spotted a shiny Azure Zed in the carpark outside Subway
  16. What an ugly mug. Hope you come out on top of this mate!
  17. Did you buy this car from a chap in Southampton? I believe I own the original exhaust that used to be on this car. Lol small world if it is. This car southampton based? Not seen it around.
  18. Grrrr if I'm lucky, 1mb Download! go me!
  19. Haha, good work sir! I was going to say Bora
  20. Looks really smart! Now I want those badges too lol, time to get searching.
  21. Below is what I've copied and pasted from my Golf Forum, Not the friendliest bunch over there, anyway thought i'd post here as well if there is any interest If you would like me to post a picture with my username, just say and I'll get that done. Cheers Sadly my car has come to the end of it's life...with me that is. Gone and bought myself a Nissan 350z Anyway just testing the water here as at the moment it's clogging up my drive and needs to be taken away! I will more than likely break down the car and sell the bits, but would be easier if someone will just take it off my hands for a reasonable price. My build - http://uk-mkivs.net/...spx?PageIndex=1 Tax: 3-4 Months Left MOT: Runs out this month (End October 2013) Mileage: 161k Colour: Black Doors: 3 Engine: 1.8 Turbo GTI Year: 99/2000 (W reg) Mods: - 17's BBS replica's, with loads of tread, FK Coilys, £600 Custom Stainless Full system exhuast, Full Real Carbon Air Intake system (Piper Cross) Bailey's Dump Valve Front Mount Intercool (Ebay Jobby) Rear steal spacers Drilled and Grooved Break Discs R Line Bonnet Bra TT Front ARB Uprated Droplinks SABelt Harnesses Full Recaro Interior New Windscreen fitted due to crack Engine been Remapped (200BHP'ish) Steal sump fitted Pioneer Headunit Doubledin (Sold separately with car £200) Think that's all the work done to the car, as the tread says, there is full service history, ton's of receipts, adds up to about £10k's worth of work done from previous owners. Never had any issues with this car for the 3 years I had owned it, started first time every time. Only untill a couple of weeks ago, I thought a Sensor was playing up as it was telling me to check Coolant, but it was full and fine. Then on it's final journey smoke started pouring out from exhaust, popped the bonnet and it was coming directly from the turbo. If i'm lucky it's just a seal, but it could be worse, however I don't have the money to keep putting into this car now. There are several marks on the car, couple of scuffs and the odd dent and key mark, very frustrating, again just didn't have the money anymore to keep it maintained. It's a shame, because when the car is polish and cleaned up, looks gorgeous. Anyway, Turbo and Waterpump need looking at and the bodywork could do with a couple of ££hundred spent on it to get it up together. I could probably get more for breaking the car down, but that's time that I don't have, so I'm currently open to offers as i'd like this gone ASAP. Looking for £1200 for everything but will be open to offers! Based in Fareham/Portsmouth.
  22. Hi Guys, Just a quick question, trying to sell my old golf now i've got my Zed. Would it go in the *For Sale* Section, and does every picture have to have my Username in it? (As I have loooots of old photo's that i'd like to add on there) Cheers Matt
