Right so winters on its way were skint and the wife has told me that i cant spent owt else on my Mk2 golf. It needs two tyres on the front as there dog and ducked :shocked: the rear breaks need doing as there down to the metal :shocked: and it needs a temp sensor. I can do one of these things shes told me now lol :laugh:

Do you have discs or drums on the back?Ive got a nearly new set of pads you can have and possibly some discs too.If they are drums i have a new set of shoes too.
Depending on the engine i may have a temp sensor too.You can have them if it helps you out.My missus has family in Mansfield(i live in Lincoln) so can drop them off next time im out there or leave them at her folks house on Langley Close?
Cant help you with the tyres though sorry.

-

Do all three and don't buy her anything for Christmas coz you're saving :wink:

most girls don't know anything about cars except for the colour and that they need petrol now and again
so tell her that you adjusted everything to make it work :grin: :grin:
and sadly the police stopped you about the tyres :sick:
-
all of the stuff mentioned are requirements of a fully functioning road legal car. tell her to do one and get it all done. if she doesn't like it tell her to leave.

You can't do only one, as there are two things which are potentially dangerous.
Get a new wife.

My Wife has said something similar before, told her if it all doesn't get done and there is an accident because of work that needed doing and wasn't how sh!t would she feel... she changed her mind after moaning. Lots. :grin:

My G/f didn't notice when I changed the headlights and put the anni kit on it :rolleyes:
I'm getting an earful at the moment because I just told her I'm spending a day at Carbon Chiptuning in a week or so to try and fix a potential boost leak....of course the boost leak is my fault because I 'shouldn't have got the remap in the first place...it was fine as it was' :grin:
-
My missus moans like f**k at me because I'm always doing something to it on weekends. I tell her the only thing I have done is change the suspension, and changed the alloys. I then tell her to shut up and stop moaning for no reason :grin:
When infact I've done loads of things to it and because she aint got a clue about cars and can't see the changes, I get away with it :smiley:

dubs are easy try racing a classic race bike and then do the blagging :evil:
my engine is going to the builders over winter and she cant belive it costs £200 (try £2000) and that a new crank is £400 but luckily someone is giving me half toward it (try £1400!!)

dont let the wife stop you.. dont let anyone stop you from fixing/modding the golf! :laugh:
-
You need to remember that they probably do the same to you! I know my wife does. She bought a new jacket the other week that apparently cost her £55. Funny how I find the invoice saying it was £85!!! Cant really say much as I do exactly the same when it comes to modding the car. Her - "Is the front of the car new?" (grille), Me - "Nooooo! Its been like that for a year since the day I bought it! :rolleyes: :lipsrsealed:". Her - "Oh, I never noticed" :grin:
