hopefully its not to bad and easy to fix i just need it running while i sort the interior out then ill move to the engine and body in time :D

ok the droning is whenever its driven now and after a while the auto box clanks like a tapping but cant hear in car only when sound reflects of wall etc. leads me to think I may be in for an Auto-box replacement or and expensive fixing session lol. Gonna get it seen to sometime in the week :S.

kk thanks

MJPs where is that ? you got a number or address at all please :D

Can anyone recommend a decent garage in this area at all, I dont know much about the area as am new to it and the only one I know charged me a bomb for a simple thermostat and water pump job on my bmw I had at the time. Im in wormley but can get to most, I need to good check up on this auto-box :headvswal thanks in advance :bow:

they ask no questions on fuel type, import type, just if its right hand drive is prolly about it tbh. what do i know about cars lol ;)

My ex done all that model shit too makes ya wonder.

Have to say agree with Cooper patience is a key and look over everything.

yus! its classified as diesel so i get silly cheap insurance :D not my fault as been like it since import date :D dvla gotta love em sometimes.

hes ok but andy mckee and john butler are the ones for me :D

got mine of ebay, trouble getting imports anywhere else.

thin you will appreciate this guy hes so talented. They are all known as the track called "Ocean". Close your eyes and listen :P #1

drive prolly went under some stress and to be honest with a mediocre setup it should not take more than 20mins, take a look at http://www.novatech.co.uk I used to work there they have fairly cheap IDE DVD writers for sale. thin ya looking about 16+ so sod that 40 one lol.

Pretty sure it was me going to sort some shit out for J1mmytt lol pretty shitty looking huh lol jap spec TT. Project for the future lol.

Im pissed and wanna get mah money back but this is a jap import and the power is unreal considering the age, and its cheap as chips to insure due to being classed as "Heavy oil" ;) but atm im looking at: interior panels redoing and seats to be re-trimmed, t-bar seals as small leak, respray. you know just small stuff so its kinda 50/50. But after thinking for a while imma make it a project, but an advisory dont buy from anyone nameds Paul In Slough (specifically Plaines close SL1 5TY) so i guess that leave me with some random parts needed from a black (jap) 2+2 TT model lol. And you know Forge I am not a mechanic but I can sort some shit out but yeah he was a bit of a :xxx: lol. anyways can this "excessive rust" be sorted behind the windscreen ? thats my only worry everything else seems ok apart from in need of the plastic guard around the wipers as half of mine is missing and i can see the battery lol....

Lol ok I think I am going to have to coz I bought it on the basis of being 99,000 kms not 99,000 miles. Im annoyed people are still like this. But I think I will get CAB to do it on my behalf coz I am to forgiving and a walk over in this sorta scenario. LOL

Nope just sold for £xxxx to me and thats it, think he would give my money back ? lol

Cant even find the adverts on Pistonheads or Autotrader no more to back this advertising issue up :S.

no i found the papers saying it was changed over in 2000 from 60odd kms to 40odd miles or somethign to that effect.

Im kinda pissed and chuffed I got one now :D heres the story. Found a nice dark TT 300 that I have always wanted, phoned the seller and arrange viewing, I go and view and it seems ok yeah the body needs respraying and the boot needs replacing all am willing to do and fully update the interior and rebuild engine as am gonna try getting in the army for an amount of time as they allow me and the funds wont be used so what better than a childhood dream project :D. Now the guy lets me take it for a test drive and all seems ok turbos engine sounds fine temp good oil pressure good no knocks and clanks, and he bring up the convo of how its still in KM's on the clock so I take a look and its 99k (kms) well I think bargain as he said the cambelt had just been changed so would make it around the 61-62k mark. Well I pick it up and drive it home (slough to Broxbourne) when I get back I realise somethings wrong as the milage odo was giving same reading as my GPS. I decide to go through all the paperwork again as I did when I viewed it and I find papers that were not there before Like the Odometer conversion in 2000 so now its actually a 99k miles engine as supposed to a 99k Km engine .....Pissed...... Even worse is I find an old windscreen paper that says "no warranty" i read more into it and its because of excess rust behind the screen... What do I do ? any ideas? Isn't there some rule/law against this or is it all on my back ? Also he advertised it as 65k KM's so is the false advertising involved? I ave not contacted him yet I need a heads up and cant get to CAB till monday now :S (Citizens advice bereau). Thanks in advance.

np if i can help I will sorry I left it a lil longer than said but I was finding ALL the faults with my JP TT which is actually falling apart lol oh well a nice damn project making it all the much more better when it starts taking shape :D.

hey man spoke to the guards at the office where you had the prang with Tracy lol he could not really do anything as he wasnt sure of what he could and could not do, so he gave me the contact numbers for his superior if you wanna give him a call, details as follows but try the Southend office first before the mobile number. His name is John Chapman and he is the security manager. Southend office numbers: 01702 371026 or 01702 371027 if that fails here is his mobile number. 07786 312238 hope this helps as the guy I spoke to said he could not see it being a problem.

ok tested again, over 65 and accelerating it drones if i remove foot from the accelerator it stops while deccelerating even if i slightly put foot down to keep at same speed it starts again.

I will get it check out by a mech if i find a decent one after the weekend but certainly will keep ya in mind Snoopy :D

its auto sorry shoulda mentioned that first off :P
