  1. I had an auto electrician helping me with something yesterday and even he didn't know what it was - he thought it was something to do with the folding mirrors but it would appear not.
  2. Just taking a break from the ironing and bread baking (joke) to ask a quick question. There is a little push button that says auto on it and I have no clue what it's for - it's very small and down in the area of the VDC switch - what is it?
  3. I could not believe my eyes when I went into Tesco last night and there was a full aisle of christmas cakes, mince pies and selection boxes - FFS!!!

    and I suppose a man's knowledge just appears in his brain with nobody advising him? You lot can all get in the naughty corner!

    Hmmm, well: Stuey - Mike - you're the one with an apron! And Ian - The list under your signature is more or less exactly what I'm talking about.

    Glossary

    I know I'm going to look like a dumb woman saying this but........as I've never been into any sort of engine mods I don't have a clue what a lot of the modifications are or the effect they have unless you're talking about exhausts or air filters etc. Is there a glossary anywhere on the forum or would anyone like to do one?
  9. Have you not been party to any of the 'colour wars' posts on here then? At least you didn't get called Rusty like I did!
  10. well that's a relief then - I thought I was going to have problems for a minute - bet the neighbours weren't best pleased either!
  11. hello and welcome to the site. there are a few people on here from your area that should be able to advise. What about Envy? They are North East.
  12. My alarm went off 4 times last night which has never happened before. Husband works away a lot during the week but my lad was straight outside with a baseball bat as he thought he heard voices in the drive (nice to know he's good for something but was probably a funny sight out in the countryside!) Anyway - when I got to work this morning I noticed a huge daddy long legs sat on the inside of the door - could something that small have been causing the alarm to go off?
  13. Oh FFS why don't these idiots go and play on the motorway! Someone once nicked the GTI badges off my golf - would love to know what they do with them!
  14. so was that a normal occurence in those parts then and you just left it or did a SWAT team come and remove it?
  15. really! That's terrible - where did you park it? I have had mine surrounded by chavvy looking lads once but to be fair they were just looking inside
  16. He's not replying now cos the venom has just kicked in!
  17. Hello there! Nice to have another Yorkshire person in for a chat! Can't give you any advice on comparing those two cars but I'm sure plenty of the others will give you some 'unbiased' advice!
  18. You can only fit 2 chavs in whereas you can fit a few more in a hot hatch but as mentioned you're more likely to get keyed or roof jumped on by someone that assumes you are loaded.
  19. sorry to revive this again but some people say all that happens with this is that the annoying red light comes on and others seem to be saying that an actual limiter kicks in when you hit it. The reason I ask is that I was overtaking something in third yesterday and I was looking at the road not the dials for obvious reasons and then all of a sudden the car felt a bit jerky but was fine when I changed up a gear.
