PM heading your way in a min Daz :wink:

A what did you use PM?

 :huh:

Am I being thick or does that not make sense Shaun? :grin:

Yeah you're being thick... :grin:

I was being nosey about the PM.  Was it about what was used to get the intake like he did.

Then you should have said:

"And why did you use PM?" not "A what did you use PM?" :grin:

Yeah pretty much, and a few other engine bay related questions which I didn't want to clutter this thread up with :tongue:

Noticed a fresh scuff earlier after leaving the car parked in Sainsbury's for 20 mins :rolleyes:

I wouldn't mind but the bumper was only resprayed a couple of months ago :angry:

^^^^ Booooo.  :angry:  It's near impossible to keep a daily straight if up have to leave it around others...  Mine was Brand new when I got it, only took a matter of weeks to get scratched and dented whilst unattended.

Bit far behind but the bay is looking sweet. Do like coloured hoses but has to be done right, these are looking good and like how you cut them! :lipsrsealed: :grin:

I think that maybe Dom may have been the culprit, smashing into other peoples cars...

 :kiss:

Only kidding, bloody annoying when that happens! :angry:

I usually park away from most other cars but the car park was packed so I had no choice :cry:

My mum's kitchen scissors  :lipsrsealed: :grin:

In other news the car should be a little lower in a couple of weeks :lipsrsealed:

Going up a hill earlier, pulled in to let a car go down the hill, tried to select first heard a little noise and suddenly no gears :angry:

Managed to roll the car back onto the pavement so it was out of the way and took a look at the gear linkage:



As you can see, something's not quite right :rolleyes:

On closer examination one of the 3 prongs is missing:



Managed to stick the car in 1st and limp it home....waiting for VW to ring me back with a price for the part now.
