    First car i made a loss on, wouldn't of been too bad if i hadn't taxed it (about 70% of the loss, lol). First car i made a loss on too, i've broken even on every other car i've had bar the Golf which served 3 loyal years of service at €2,500 euro depriciation.

    Thanks RoverJames.

    A tale of woe, but at least you didn't cry into your tea about it. We all get caught on something at some point, better a bangernomics that something that cost silly money! :)

    You can't comprehend how much! 10 times quieter, too.

    As can be seen from the photos the two washers and missing from the headlights. i was thinking the blanks would look much nicer than sticking the ugly washers back on?

    Well worth taking an hour to clean the maf sensor, egr valve and exhaust manifold. Dont worry about the car going into limp mode every so often, it happens and theres no codes that show up. Just turn it off and on again.
    Great car.;)

    Thanks!

    Do you have one?

    i've done a good search through the car and the two things that aren't working are the boot glass and the cd changer.

    Now, the boot glass seems to give alot of trouble so there's probably method to the madness there.

    The cd changer, i've tried to find a fuse for it to no avail, maybe it's just had it's day.

    Yeah i know a few alright. Doing a bit of travelling this week, i've one long day next week so i'll throw it over to him then.

    The weather doesn't know what it's doing down here, so can't really start cleaning. Could take one of the cars out of the shed but that would involve drying it if it rained :rolleyes:
