  1. 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

     

     

  2. 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

  3. 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 :smile: so it was a awesome day for me, our twin (identical) baby girls are 10mnths old next sat :smile: 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 :sad: 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

  4. 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 :sad: and ive changed my mind about wheel choice although i still love em

  5. 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 :wub::wub: entered my life yesterday so im over the moon :banana_dance: 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 :biggrin: and then when i have the time ill get cracking on . :biggrin::banana_dance::wub::happy: cant really express how i feel through em lol

  6. 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

  7. Loving the screen, might do that myself and put a xbox one in the boot :smile: 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

  8. Looking AWESOME :banana_dance: 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 :biggrin:

  9. 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 :sad:

  10. 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

  11. Looking more like a 2 year project :sad: theres always summat that stops me in my tracks. Although the new hurdle ive got is identical twins due June :crazy: so all spare funds are being saved up to buy stuff for them etc :sad: dont need much really apart from a respray still, some more sound deadening, and front/back door rubbers, and obv the main thing to go and pick up my seats from Mondo :smile:

     

    Its def not mission aborted yet! lol especially as they reckon we might have a good bit of sun this year :banana_dance:
