Were are you from? What size rims, and style? Ive got a few DUB mates who may be interested. Shame to waste them really :) They're very basic 15 inch wheels in scruffy condition Unfortunately I've already taken a chunk out of one with the angle grinder so no going back now!!! Thanks for the advice ...

Hi peeps, Got a set of 4 crappy bbs wheels left from a Golf I had. I'm going to weigh them in (Need cash fast for Easter boozing) as apparently I could get 10-15 quid per wheel but need to get the tyres off. Anyway of doing this at home with basic tools?? I've already taken an angle grinder to them ...

sam w

100 quid a tonne at the moment!!!

And a quick update. Been driving around with no door locks and using a screw driver to start the car for about a week now. My brother just called me to say he's found the keys in the glovebox of his car. Must have put them in there for 'safe keeping' whilst I was completely hammered. :roll: Oops.

sam w

I'm still intrigued as to how you can be so certain the keys are lost. I detect there is a story behind this :P I'm sure there's a story mate but I wouldn't know anything about it!! I remember clinging onto several beers at approx 9pm - then all of a sudden it was 9am and I was lying in a bush - ke...

Cheers for all the great advice people. Managed to get in the car yesterday by getting a coat hanger down and pulling up the lock on one of the rear doors. Ripped the column apart and luckily no immobilser so hot wiring was straight forward. Gonna get a lock set and matching key from a scrappy but u...

This is really turning out to be a pain in the a$$ VW have said they 'might' be able to supply a blank and key pattern but both dealerships I've spoken with need to order the blanks in and reakon this could take a friggin week!!! Theres also the possibility they haven't kept the records as the car i...

A VW breakers is probably your best bet. (replacing the window you may need to break and replacing anything else you break by hot wiring it, or paying someone to come out and open it) is not going to be cheap. Having helped a friend get into their '95 Golf GTi once when they dropped their keys down...

Hello, Lost my Keys on Saturday night whilst completly smashed at a friends party. The keys are most definitely lost and I've no spare set and I've had to leave the car in situ. Does anyone know how to go about getting a new set as cheaply and quickly as poss??? I was quoted £160 for someone to come...

Been away from the scene for quite a while but I'm pretty certain to check if it is the water pump thats gone is you simply run the car with the expansion tank lid off and see if the water is returning to the tank. If its not then the pump has gone. If this had come up a week or so ago, I'd be maki...

Cheers for the advice so far. Am liking the sound of Zante. WTF is there to do in Sicilly Shen?? Taormina and giardini naxos about half way down the east coast is awesome for clubbing and nightlife....very expensive though. Had a friend there who part owned a nightclub called Marabu...was £30 in an...

Kavos is a good place to go for beach, boozing and loose women, most of my mates have been there and had a good time (bar one who broke her arm iirc). Going there with that kind of budget might be stretching it a bit mind. That budget is for flights and accommodation only. That sort of money seems ...

Hi guys, I'm In dying need of a holiday in July. Not been away for a couple of years and I'm ripping my hair out trying decide where!!! Gonna be a fairly small group of guys, all in our early 20's. Has to be in Europe, must be coastal with decent beaches, quality nightlife and plenty of other like m...

I am not sure how true that statement is but I can't imagine 30000 fans cheering while events unfolded. More than likely a minority or an misunderstanding of what was actually happening. I really don't think this should descend into rivalry. Rich, the fans that you have encounter are a tiny minorit...

I'd take the grand, use it for financial spred betting and turn it into 100,000

Can't go wrong with a good old cheque

more than you could possibly imagine!

Haha so true. I remember something my ex always use to say,

"Are you on that rover gay gay bum bum site again?"

I'd just like to point out that each to their own and all that.

At the end of the day 96 Liverpool fans lost their lives. The majority believe this was due to the incompetence of the police and the marshalling of the fans. Why should the memorial be about Forest fans?? Only a (stupid) minority of pool fans would try to pin the blame on the fact that the forest f...

sam w

its clearly a government conspiracy.... Do you have any prolonged periods of your life that you cant remember? Maybe you were an MI5 assasin and this is how you're being punished for defecting? oh and whs means What He Said :wink: Or maybe because I got caught getting jiggy with the council chiefs ...

sam w

I know the lines are there because I use the station 5 days a week, 52 days of the year. Like I've said, cars are parked on these double yellows all day everyday and I've not once seen another issued with a ticket. This evidence aswell as the obvious fact that the lines haven't been repainted in yea...

sam w

Cheers for everyones input. To be honest I think I'll just pay the fecking thing before it really comes back to bite me on the arse. I've no idea why Maidstone council charge £90.00 rather than the usual 60/70 quid. £90.00 is a total joke. I really wish I had appealed as to be honest as the lines ar...

sam w

Pay it.. I once didn't and regret it. In short, got a £60 fine, ignored it. Ordered to pay by the court, ignored it. Baliffs letters.... Out of pocket £360, which i payed after they threatened to visit. Lesson learnt. This what I'm afraid of. I would deffo just pay it if I could but I bought a new ...

Hi Guys, Back on the 6th of January I got a parking ticket for parking on double yellows at my local train station. I only did this as the double yellows are not really necessary as any cars parked there are not obstructing anything and there's always cars parked their who seem to be repeat offender...

Is this your old one james? Quite tempting this. Fancying another honda coupe then sam? i do miss the one that you/i had. 130 bhp, what tweaks did you do the engine then james? I do but my budget is no more than about 400-450 at present as the cars just for running around in. I'm after one of these...

sam w

Cool thanks.

I seem to remember this made silly power on the rolling road for 1.6. 130 odd BHP wasn't it???

sam w

Is this your old one james?

Quite tempting this. Aside from the laquer peel, hows the rest of the bodywork?

sam w

I'll have a think Steve. I'm really after nothing bigger than a 1 6 though as its just a runaround and needs to be cheap.

I'll get an insurance quote and let you know. May still have a t series starter motor lying around!!

sam w

Steve,
