MOT passed first time, no advisories.

Changed the nearside CV boot over the weekend and she is now ready for an MOT, booked in for Thursday. Been out this morning with the Meguiar's Deep Crystal system paint cleaner and the oxidized pinkishness is looking a lot better. Just got the polish and wax stages left now. Wish me luck for ...

It's been a very long time since I've been on here and far too long since I’ve driven the Scirocco. Long story short I had a rather bad backfire caused by a dodgy earth to the megasquirt which blew a gasket somewhere as the revs immediately went through the roof, I assumed the worst and parked the c ...

White mk2 coming into Dyce at lunchtime today, think it was Colin. We met at the Midlands meet last year. I was in my red GTII.

Spotted this in the Westfield centre in Derby a few weeks ago:

I got one of those Hot Tuning manifolds for my conversion and it was terrible, the studs on the head did not line up with the holes on the manifold and when I finally got it on it sat against the steering boot, so much so that it put a hole in the boot and the joint rubbed against the manifold which ...

Got the exhaust manifold from DUBpower:

We weren't too sure if it was going to fit a Scirocco and the guy said if it didnt fit they would give me my money back, they were very helpful.

It's been a while since I got anything done on the car besides fetting a new battery. I've now got the bits I need for the fuel system to stop the fuel starvation when the tank gets low: Swirl Pot: http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5161/5249080912_afb832918e.jpg DSC00646 by Cookie-101 , on Flickr Low ...

Not sure if it was white or not, it was very dark so was difficult to see the colour with the headlights beaming, it was definatly a light colour though.

MK2 spotted in Ticknall nr Derby today at about 5:45pm, had the larger grill and was towing a small trailer, think the reg started with C752.

I need to get a more powerful starter for my 2.0L 16v conversion the original one doesnt seem to be up to the job. I keep ketting kick back when the starter is cold which is very annoying. Im using an 020 gearbox so are there any other engines which used this gearbox and have more powerful starters ...

I believe thats the same system i have on my GT2.

Bluish silver mk2 heading south on the m5 this morning, it was either just before bristol or just after, It had american style front lights. I was in my red gtII.

There is a nice looking Mk2 in the latest top gear mag(October issue). There is a pullout for shell v-power and its on the front cover of that (page 42/43). Anyone on here?

Im pretty sure its not leaking. I only ever really notice the smoke when I rev it at idle and when I come to a junction or something. Never notice it while driving.
