Bought a parcel shelf, arrived well wrapped and all good. Really good communication throughout as well, nothing bad to say at all.

All £30 posted as it's a nightmare to remove all locks lol

£30 for 2x front locks, 1xboot lock, ignition barrel and the indicator, though? I'll take them at that, shoot me a PM with the paypal stuff

How much for locks, ignition barrel, keys and the OS/F indicator unit with clips etc?

I wish. I work at Sainsbury's, I'll be sat in an office haha

It's not a bad place to drive around at all. if you're looking for a good one, head down the A3075 until you reach Goonhavern, then turn left at the double mini toundabout towards Zelah. Great fun to be had on that stretch, and usually really quiet.

If you find yourself floating near Sainsbury's tomorrow, that's where my car will be. All fecking day.

Newquay, Been to lands end this eve. Not aure what were doing tomoz yet.

You'm in my town, so if you're desperate for a toyota fix you can come see my shitpiece

I'll be there long as I haven't got work on the day

I'm new to the "scene", so a lot of the discussion of historical prices is well over my head, so I'm not going to throw my 0.02 in there.

Sometimes, I see things on here and wonder if the seller really thinks they're going to get what they're asking. On the other hand, there's been a few times in the couple of months that I've been here that people have helped me out. And it's not like anyone here knows me, or has any reason to do me any favours.

Guess what I'm getting at is it could always be worse, everyone on here could be a reet bunch of dicks. And it is a bit reassuring to know that the 15 year old 1.3 hatchback on my drive is worth a bit of something, even if only in pieces.

No it's not yours, looking clean in your photo though dude!

Haha, i got my hopes up that I might find out something about her history there.

Cheers mate, she's certainly got potential.

Yours is looking sexy as all hell, very jealous

Welcome buddy

Is that me, with your old red ep91?

24 years of living in Cornwall and I've seen exactly 2 Starlets, and one of those is on my drive. Someday, there will be a meet

About this, is there anything I should know before attempting this? The guide makes it look pretty straightforward but this would be by far the biggest car surgery I've ever done and I'd rather not fuck it up.

Edit: would've posted this on the guide itself but locked.

That looks awesome, so shiny

What exhaust mani is that? Doesn't look anywhere near as damn ugly as the stock one.

I'll bear it in mind if I get desperate. Half an hour more with the toffee wheel's made a bit of a dent, it may work completely given enough time. Waiting on the drill to recharge now.

The previous owner of my ep91 tried to superglue broken door handles back together whilst they were still on the car (sharpest knife in the drawer, obviously). Does anyone know of a way to get superglue off the outside of the car without destroying the paint? I tried a toffee wheel but it worked about as well as you'd expect against superglue

The alloys didn't want to come out nicely, but how's that?

The smell of alloy wheel cleaner

No reason why it should be. The problem isn't you or me at the voter level, it's Cameron, Darling and Salmond who have no idea what they're doing.

its the media, i dont believe half of what they say.

This.

What are they trying to stop you thinking about? Big bad enemy to the east has been used by the media since WWII.

This reminds me of that story in on of the papers a few years ago about how a neighbourhood in London had declared Sharia law, and they were going to spread through the rest of the UK and make us all religionuts or whatever.

End of the day, though, we'll end up going in and then the news will switch to sensationalist headlines about HOW MANY BRITS WILL WE LOSE TO THIS CONFLICT? Fucking hypocrites, the lot of them.

What fucks me right off is not being able to vote on this. Nothing against any Scots on here, but I'd vote yes to independence for a few reasons, and it's not like it doesn't affect us in England when our tax pounds are going north of the border paying for scot uni fees etc.

On a personal level, I want devolution for Cornwall, the scots getting independence would set a nice bit of precedent for that.

There's 3 plugs on the back of the clocks, the one you want is on the far right as you're looking at the dash, nearest the door. From the end of the plug, there's 3 wires in a row, then 2 missing, the next one is your tacho signal, 6th one in.

Ordered a couple of bits from the store a couple of weeks ago, delivered 2 days later all good. Got up today to find they'd been delivered again. Where do I send them back to?

Cheers,

Josh

And just fuckin mongos in general

Wait, is it not cool to sit in McDonalds car park at 11pm in your mark 4 golf TDi?

Update on this, got it in and working using the tacho wire from the back of the standard clocks (still can't help but feel it would've been easier to put a tacho in as standard, but what do I know?), and the power from the back of the ignition fuse. Used the diagnostic port to test it first, but I didn't want to run the wire through the firewall, this way all the wiring is hidden in the dash

Don't we just?

I'll be in touch about the strut bar for sure , need me one of those.

I didn't know that, I'll keep an eye out for any going cheap. Any alloys would be better than capless steelies with mismatched tyres lol.

One day, this car will be freaking amazing. That day is a long way away
