  1. Check the socket in the dash where you press the immobilisier key into. In particular the wiring. I had a Meta immobiliser on mine similar to yours

     

    Eventaully over time, the continual pushing in and out had caused the socket to twist, in turn causing one of the small wires at the back to become detached.

     

    If in your case, it is not this, try asking a immobiliser/alarm fitter. Not sure you will be able to get those type of key anymore?

  2. good man! not long now till sunday.

     

    Battery is easy, Euro car parts, Bosch battery 40 quid, inc the round terminal adaptors too.

     

    Brought one couple of weeks ago for my mk4.

  3. Hi all,

     

    Just my two pence worth, not too keen with old to new. I think it will make the stand look to formal and boring.

    Also given MK6's are not exactly the desirable cars people go and see, people will be drawn towards the MK4 end at the expense of the MK6 side.

     

    I think a mix of all MK's and colours is best to uniformly draw showgoers attention to all parts of the club stand.

     

    BTW I am bringing my all-blue to the show. No need for pic, just imagine a usual standard all-blue

  4. Before you write off the sensors, try cleaning the Idle valve with carb cleaner.

     

    Over time excess carbon builds up inside these, affecting piston movement.

     

    Simply open up the idle valve and spray carb cleaner to remove carbon deposits. Leave to dry. Ensure the piston moves freely.

     

    Refit after all carb cleaner has evaporated.
