Jus got a couple of pics of her outside my mates record shop, know she looks untidy but she's halfway through a bit of a face lift..  :wink:  Got some smoked crystals to try out on her too, the hella's that are on her now look far too white.




Slick#13, i'm just trying something out with the round-light front end, gonna go back with the Rallye front soon. Although I have just won a complete Rallye slam-panel, lights and grill on ebay for a good price, I wanted the new Rallye lights that came with it, just aint been delivered yet. I'll let you know if I decide to sell one on, if I don't decide to stick it on my other golf that is..  :wink:

rubjonny, i'm not 100% sure what it was in the end but there is one problem, the light comes on after 30km and stays on, luckily this wasn't spotted by the garage as they don't drive around their yard at 30km  :grin:  Gonna finally get it working properly this week and let you know exactly what caused it (I hope)

Over the last couple of weeks my Rallye ABS light has started to come on sometimes. I've no idea what is causing it, but it comes on quite a bit when I turn sharply right, sometimes when I go over small bumps, sometimes when I accelerate and sometimes it goes out and sometimes it doesn't. Arghh!

I even checked it the other day to see if the ABS actually worked as in I slammed the anchors on when the light was on and yup I skidded and I slammed them on again when the light was off and it didn't skid, so it does work ok. I'm thinking a dodgy wire or sensor somewhere and possibly the drivers side sensor as the light doesn't seem to come on as much when I turn left.

VW_nutter, please make your sig smaller as it's mahoooooooosive !
......now officially dubless.
