Last little niggles
« on: 17 July 2010, 18:43 »
Well next week i should finally have some time on my hands to sort out the little niggles on my car  :smiley:

Is it just me or does anyone else feel they have to have everything perfect?! lol

My rear cup holders need fixing back in,
My passenger side wing mirror motor only goes up/down not left/right,
and finally the battery cover doesn't sit on properly lol

anyone else got any little problems that grid on them lol

Yeah, horn decided to become a mute 2 days ago, the arb keeps touching up the driveshaft, the cars thirsty as, the backbox is knocking against something, my drivers seat heating has stopped working, the passenger mirror casing is cracked and there is more than 3 shades of red on my car due to 12 years of sun rape. They all make my sh!t itch but I enjoy moaning  :grin:

I've stopped listing mine especially now as it looks like someone's spilt brake fluid or the like on a patch of the roof  :angry:  Can see little bubbles under the lacquer  :undecided: :sad: :angry:

Every time I fix a niggle something major seems to go wrong......

You'll make it back in fuel savings over having the real mans petrol version..... :wink:   What went wrong with it to demand that capital? Brand new turbo????? Or did you have a petrol engine fitted? I suppose you could refer to a diesel as a broken car and a petrol conversion as it being 'fixed'  :laugh:   Just kidding, I envy the diesel with the Tarmac ripping torque figures, mean economy, and small depreciation. Just makes ya hands stink when you pick up the manky black fuel pump and tractor sound.....  :grin:

if i had saved all the money ive spent on sport bikes , cars and performance parts in the last 18yrs i could of got a new r35 skyline and enough change to retire now  :smiley:

im sure if they had to release the mk4 again they would supply vagcom and laptop free of charge on a pull out tray in the glovebox and a tps account card with £5000 free credit
