SHELAGH's Question thread ( novice bordering on idiot)

[shelaghmk3gti]

hope mods will approve!
i have interrupted so many threads to ask questions,dont think the boys will say i ruin anything as im genuinely interested .. but there are a few that dont like me.. given that i thought id do this and then only those that are interested in the genuine questions i have will reply  i have nothing to play on.. im a 40 yr old fem with a GTI that i love.. we've had our moments, but i seriously dont want to take her off the road .. for 2 reasons.. shes a bloody fine looking car and ive spent more that i would get back..
 my VW history involves
 a mk1. ( was a horrible blue and was in 1995.. but god did i polish her)
a mark 2 16v that was written off by a one arm driver that went on to burn his house down 
im now on my 3rd mk3.. all 8v.. for some reason

i have always had a very generous husband.. yeah i know!!  but now i dont so im hacking it.. i coud have any car i wanted and i still chose this heap 

so dont get angry if i ask a stupid question....been rolling round in dirt all day dont spoil it now

I always answer any question im able to that hasn't been answered already and will continue to do so

just because a question has been asked 100 times doesn't mean the person asking it should know the answer, maybe they weren't there the last 100 times to hear it, some people on here don't understand that

on the way home from buying her ( 60miles) the head went though i didnt know that.. i drove it home she was a mess anyway..insight is wonderful

recently have ( after the head being done at a cost of £480) had a horrible vibe and rattle.. garage exp on the head didnt go well.. hence why i started this!
 ok i clamped the exhaust at the manifold/heat gurad i think on friday 7th april.. my birthday! was in the center of the car what a job!!
today ive bolted the heat sheild at the back.. and as the front kept on vibrating i took it to a garage ( with £100 quid in my pocket) the noise is unberabe.. tho its not even audable to anyone that dont know a golf !!
 al he did was take off my bolts.. to check then replace them and say he has to rip off the head sheild.. didnt add any more than id done.
 i cant do that! just rip parts off!
i would however appreciate.. my learning curve being taken into consideration and not ( theres always be one)knocked

i want to make my car look like a certain members on here... i dunno his name.. but its smoothed bot with flash wheels and it was a prezzie for his mrs  


i'll leave it there u males get bored easy
