  3. studabear that would be great, my wife is, dani hayes should be pics of or twin girls on profile pic
  4. Hi guys, no posts for a while as ive got twin baby girls lol Problem I've got is before I put my car away in my garage I changed the clutch quadrant for a new one and a new cable, and due to problems fitting the cable I just left it. I know I have washers and clips in the footwell and were they go I can't remember lol. So has anyone got a diagram of the clutch/brake peddles etc? I might have to pull the rod out of both just to fit the cable too I think 😐 Thanks guys
  5. just wondering is there a fb group for people looking for cars that they used to own etc? if not then there should be
  6. omg my girls are now 15mnths old... time to get some work done on my other baby

    Tuning

    same engine as my mk4 IV it can be tuned as in air filter exhaust and cam.... and a rare superchip but its pointless its cheaper to change the engine etc im sure everyone will agree
  8. Well not much happened since I received my seats, the day I had them back I was picking up keys for a house we bought so it was a awesome day for me, our twin (identical) baby girls are 10mnths old next sat and the weather is getting nice so time to get my car from the garage it is in two counties away and bring it here to our spacious garden and get some work done, it prob sadly won't still be on the road till next year but the wait is def worth it, can't wait to see people slow down and eye it up as they drive up/down the busy A497 in front of our house
  9. Thank you Den and we are certainly not enjoying the lack of sleep lol
  10. I did have some myself with brand new tyres and nuts all ready to go on but i sold em partly due to needing a twin pram costing £1500 and ive changed my mind about wheel choice although i still love em
  11. Well no update for a while as i havnt done much apart from sticking some sound deading (rattlemat) down, too much work and too many hospital appointments but on a plus side my 2 x Baby girls entered my life yesterday so im over the moon the only good news i need now is Simon (Mondo) telling me he has my door cards finished so i can pick up all my interior and then when i have the time ill get cracking on . ​ cant really express how i feel through em lol
  12. Im a officially a Dad my two baby girls arrived yesterday afternoon :smile:

  13. Got a toad ai606 on mine but changed the siren for a brand new one as the battery back up in it had failed due to constant car batt problems also mines garaged with ridiculous locks on the door lol
  14. all this sun and cab is still unfinished :sad: maybe next year now it looks like :sad:

  15. Same as jinks mine is in the same place
  16. Too posh for our cars, im not gonna want to sit on them, and i was thinking about putting twin isofix points in the back but ill be scared of scratching them i think the dogs and twins when they are here are banned out of my car lol In the process of looking for a red vxr zaf for the wife as soon as ive bought one for her i can crack on with mine and she will leave me alone over it lol
  17. Loving the screen, might do that myself and put a xbox one in the boot were have you put the heater control dials? or does it just cover it? and just sold my escort cos wheels n tyres as im going for similar wheels but silver/gold, summat a bit different
  18. yes there def 2x white ones, message dwayne maiden on facebook if you have it he will sort you out with any parts you need
  19. green could be for turbo model ? have you got a haynes manual? it should tell you in there theres a link on here for a pdf copy - go to downloads and then service manual
  20. Looking AWESOME great job si, dont think ill want to sit in them let alone put the twins in the back when they arrive... and as for my dogs theres no chance they are going in my car ever again lol this has give me some motivation to do a bit now especially as ive finished the nursery
  21. Mine used to do exactly the same even with a new starter, battery and earth strap/cable. I havnt started it for a while but since i have changed all main power cables and connectors and i will poss put a transit connect starter on for safe measure and some heat sheild
  22. Id agree with john def check the battery tray, possibly even remove the dash and check under were the bat tray is but inside the car as you might not see much under the bat itself. On mine the water leak was the heater matrix under the dash cheap to buy but a pain in the arse to fit
  23. Thought the blue se's had some sort of writing/numbers written on under the crash bar foam/pad ? as well as the obvious ski rack fixing holes
  24. mine could be worth a bit in the future being a J plate mk4 i suppose thats if i ever got it back to the original grey etc..... not much chance of that tho especially when i get my newly retrimmed interior back and pull my finger out and get it sprayed etc i wont want it going grey like me haha
