I managed to get a whole mirror off eBay, in black, for £30. Saved me a small fortune!

:grin: :grin: bit mad isnt it, going through the lanes and fiesta was a bit too far over my side could see it was going to happen but nowhere to go, girl was only about 19 and was really sorry but it was just one of those things didnt even swap details as insurance excess would be more than we could buy new mirrors

could be the map did you get that 2nd ecu? i know on petrol turbos lag can be caused by igintion timing but wont really count on a derv :undecided:
still trying to source one - there's a few golfs being broken on Ebay so hoping they'll sell me the ECU
got to elminate the MAF and N75 valve first but i'll also try a 2nd map :wink: purely for scientific purposes of course lol
going to split this thread as i've kind of properly hi-jacked it lol
well to get it back on track my mirror was looking great until i tried putting laquer on this morning and it ran :angry: it now looks poo so have to sandit back
