got a prob with my dvd writer and it's starting to really **** me off! i'm not trying to burn a dvd but it does the same thing when i've tried it. basically all i'm doing is puting MP3's onto a cd. i normally use the ****ty windows xp to copy the files to a data cd and this has always worked ok but now i always get a message saying the cd is unwritable. which it isn't because i've always used...

A bloke off CGTI has just set the timing and AFM up properly. **** me. The Golf feels like he swapped the engine whilst I was looking the other way. The downside is, the passenger side headlamp couldn't stand the new found power, and dropped it's lense on the way home...

Local "Home Trader" has a T plate 9-3 diesel with 144k partial history, and full SE spec for £1800. http://smallr.com/2p5 Might see if he will give me anything at all off it for the Celsior. For what I will save in fuel, it is worth a punt. Sure it will be tractor like, but it won't cost a mortgage payment each month to fuel, and do just about all I need except be an auto. --

One day a 12-year old boy was walking down the street when a car pulled up beside him and the window was wound down. "I'll give you a bag of lollies if you get in the car", said the male driver. "No way, get stuffed", replied the boy. How about a bag of lollies and £10?" asked the driver

Evening all I want to get the bolt pattern on some brake discs altered i.e. re-drilled to a different PCD. Where the hell do I find somewhere to do this? Google hasn't been much help and TBH I'm not sure what I need to be looking up in the yellow pages. Cheers --

Does anyone on here have a copy of VAG-Tacho or any other tool capable of retrieving the SKC (secret key code) from my T4? I have VAG-COM and so I can code the new keys to the vehicle, but if only I had the SKC code. I believe this is only the older 4-digit code as it is a '97/98 vehicle with the passive transponder in the key. VW are obviously no use at all. Thanks, JB

forget fuel eco what you should be buying is this http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/317922.htm ok so picking it up might be a prob and i doubt it gets the even close to the celsior on fuel, probably a lot worse but it does look kinda cool! plus sensible doesn't really suit you :)

Because I've gone and spent my money on an 18v Snap On Impact Gun :D May come back to the brake idea later on though, so thanks for your replies still :) -- Carl ------------------------------------------------------------------

Just found out where's a couple of places near our Lytham office wot do biodiesel. And since I drive over there and back once a week I thought I'd give it a go, so on the way home last night I filled up at 93p/litre instead of 109p/litre :) That's nearly a tenner less per tankful... Note to self: buy new fuel filter ;) And some jerry cans so I can fill up at home.

I need (want, meh) an air compressor, but I don't want to make the mistake of both of my neighbours in buying a 12v unit that manages to inflate a car tyre in an hour then fails after a few months of use. Can anybody recommend a solution? Mains, 12v, rechargeable, it doesn't matter just so long as it works and works well... -- The DervMan www.dervman.com

It's occured to me that I don't really understand them. MK2 Golf TCAs / wishbones look like this: http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m65/golfgti8v_2006/DSC05896.jpg Not my photobucket, so not may trainers, duvet or purple bush. Now, I can understand the ones at the front. They're just pivots, and could me made of near enough anything AFAICS.

I have water coming in the rear doors of the Passat I am custodian of: http://snipurl.com/1xwkv http://snipurl.com/1xwl0 (snipURLs to plain jpgs on some hosting of mine) The water seems to run in the door and fill up the rear footwells on both sides. Eventually it floods the CCM and weird stuff starts to happen with the windows and lights. Towels are the order of the day at the moment but...

Did anyone go at the weekend? -- Abo

My Mondeo's got 215/45/17 tyres on it . Should I used the pressures in the book or raise/lower them a bit? Cheers Mike P -- I love to travel, but I hate to arrive.
