Does in this fekking country :rant: Especially when it concerns the government making motoring laws mate :rant: :rant: Richard ;)

But you won't have the holes for the headlight washers ;) I expect they don't work anyway - mine didn't so I left them off when I had my 99 spec front fitted. Richard :D

VR6 4-motion is the 200bhp one - it is a 2.9 v6 from the corrado. They are fairly swift and run just over 15 second quarters. from http://www.carstats.co.uk/results.php?make=volkswagen&model=golf&offset=40 COMPARE SELECTED MODELS DATA 0 Make Volkswagen Model Golf 4Motion type 1 Production 0 Built from 1999 Built to 0 Layout F(Tr)/4 Body Style Htch Engine - Engine Configuration 2792/V6 OHC Power (hp/rpm) 204/6200 hp 204 Torque (lb ft/rpm) 199/3200 Transmission 6-spd/- Front Suspension IC Rear Suspension IC Steering R & P Brakes Disc/disc Tyres - wheels (in) 205/55-16 Length (in) 163 Weight (lb) 3089 Top speed (mph) 146 0-60 mph (sec) 7.2 Standing ¼ml (sec) 15.2 UK price (£) 21990 HTH Richard :smw:

Saw a silver van with Z-tech on the sides twice in 2 days at The Deep Mill Diner, Great Missenden. Also had the website address as well - could this be our very own Z-tech or has someone stolen the name.......? Richard :smw:

Because I want to ;)

Wise words well said mate :bow: Nothing there should offend or upset anyone Richard :smw:

Soooo true mate :rofl:

Tandoori king prawn karai Chicken Shaslik King prawn dhansak Either of those really, with pilau rice, sag paneer and a keema naan. Washed down with loads of Cobra. Sweeeeeeet :smw: :bow:

I'm just down the road in Chalfont St Peter - plus I work in Aylesbury so pass Amersham each morning. Richard :D

How do you know you haven't damaged it by drilling the hole in it? I'd say therein lies the problem ;) Fit a new one without the extra hole and see what your readings are - failing that, if you want more accuracy or detailed readings then fit an aftermarket guage & sender. Richard :smw:

I'd go along with this too mate. My 1991 ZX had 62k miles (UK spec, fnsh) when I bought it 2 & 1/2 years ago and the belt had never been changed despite the age of the car. I had it changed owing to the mileage rather than age. If your car has had it changed already but you haven't covered 60k miles since then, leave it. Richard :smw:

If you have UK spec rear wheels then going for 255/45/16 will be fine. 255s are OK on 8.5 inch wide rims and the overall diameter of the wheel/tyre is not affected that much. If you have 7.5 wide j-spec rears then I'd say no - in fact if you have 245/45 on j-spec rims that's probably too wide mate. Richard :smw:

Hey Indy, 265s are probably as wide as most Porsches, if not wider...... ......as for grip in the wet, wider tyres actually reduce grip. wider tyres give better roadholding in the dry though. Also, going wider than 265 on a 17 inch tyre is pretty rare for any car (except for a Diablo ;) - yes they did run on 17s). so you will be limiting your choice of brands and making replacment more expensive than necessary. Stick with the sizes you have - as Scottywill says, that is pretty much the perfect size anyway. Richard :smw:

Quite right too mate...... .......I fekking hate it when someone interrupts me watching the Simpsons :rofl: Richard :D

Some good suggestions there mate, thanks! Richard :smw:

Not taking the ZX mate ;) - GNER, so I can have a few :duffer: . Besides 1st class return for both of us is cheaper than putting petrol in the car :o Just interested in taking in the sites and culture of the city really, and generally having a nice break from it all with Julia..... Richard :smw:

No need to go out for that ;) Read my earlier post about biscuits :D Richard :rofl:

Off to Edinburgh for a long weekend in the morning..... ......any suggestions from those who have been? Richard :smw:

Or tell him to fvck off and die........ :mac1: Just feck up his system then charge him a fortune to fix it - the b@stard deserves it mate. Richard :D

dp?????? Plenty of porn sites featuring that ;) :D :rofl: Richard :smw:

Right then, time to get scientific for a brief moment........ ......research has shown that male fidelity is directly linked to testicle sizes...... IE studies of various animals has shown that species with larger testicles are generically more likely to desire more sexual partners. Human males have larger testicles (proportionally, that is) than most other animals thus are more naturally inclined to stray. However the constraints of modern life (read cost of divorce ;) ) and the human desire to "always do the right thing" prevent us males from behaving like our primitive ancestors. Hence we relieve these basic urges with harmless porn. Besides we all want a life partner who is "ours alone" therefore single men have their fun with old slappers but settle down with nice girls. We wouldn't dream of degrading the nice girls we settle down with - it would spoil the image - so for dirty forbidden thoughts etc we turn to porn. Harmless fun in the end - we always come back to "the real thing" ultimately. Feck me, that was heavy - especially after a few stellas and a bottle of wine with our curry this evening...." Richard :D

As I (perhaps mistakenly ;) ) said to Julia a while back, when she was thinking of an early night...... ....."when there's always biscuits in the tin, where's the fun in biscuits"........ Richard :D

LMAO :rofl:

Doubt it mate...... .....but it may compromise handling in the wet and lead to excess tyre wear. I run on 17s - 255/40 rear and 235/45 front. I find that pretty close to stock tyre pressures gives a positive steering feel and even tyre wear. Too much pressure will also affect high speed stability, as the pressure will increase once the tyres heat up. Richard :smw:

Basically I blame the fact that the Inland Revenue employ complete baboons ;) Many of the old efficient staff have retired. Have you rang the Inland Revenue lately? Most barely have grasped the English language or left school and these idiots are calculating your tax :rant: OK all calculations are done by computer but there is still some data processing chap/chapess entering the info...... Richard :D
