So on the way home the other night decided to pop into the local vw garage and check out a 2010 golf gti that they had in stock (mk6, DSG, 5 door). Now, the missus has been banging on at me to get a 5 door car for about a year now as she is getting all broody and thinks the clio a little...

Driving home from work this morning (working nights this week) I hear a bit of a funny sound from the engineer bay. Like a whirring noise and when I get home I decide to pop the bonnet with the engine running to have a listen (nothing new, I find that I do this once or twice every few months due...

So... Searched the forum quite thoroughly to find information about decent rear discs and pads for decent prices. Checked next day brakes, gsf and even ebay and eventually settled with a quote from my regular garage. Ok so I know that the rears don't do too much of the braking (or so I've been...

After working nights last week I get this week of with the missus and the little 'un. I really want to take her for a day out somewhere this week to somewhere fun and after seeing the kellogs vouchers for 'adult goes free' the missus thought that Legoland would be a good shout. Now...I'm based...

Hi guys. After just ordering some of MrPink's retaining pins for the fronts I might look to replace the rear discs and pads as they are looking pretty worn. Any ideas of the best value for the discs and pads? Standard spirited B road driving is the most I am looking at doing at the moment so...

Saw you this afternoon around 1ish. Very nice example of a 200, I was I. The red 197 going the other way at the junction.

Can anyone recommend a good garage in the Crewe/Nantwich/Sandbach area? Need someone to have a look at my brakes as they are playing up. Ive been to Birchdown who are ace but they are a good 60 mile round trip for me.

My Mrs has asked for a 'decent' camera and from this (and from seeing her mate flaunt around with her £600 DSLR) I guess she means SLR or the type. Now I know some of you are pretty good with the old photography malarkey so was seeking some advice. I'm looking for an entry level DSLR or what I...

Saw you this morning heading away from the A500 towards Audley about 8:30am. I was in a UR 197 heading the opposite way.

Finally decided to look at dash mounted phone options, have had a phone holder before (sticky pad on windscreen) however this shook uncontrollably to the point where I couldn't really concentrate on the screen for SatNav! So in my search I have found this....the tetrax magnetic holder system...

So I've had my pads and disc replaced (Delphi) and also due to a threading issue had to purchase some new second hand calipers. Now I didn't have new pads on the car when I bought so don't know if this is normal but the caliper looks really close to the wheel, I wouldn't say that there's more...

Had a massive issue yesterday when travelling back from work. Had to apply the brakes quite firmly due to someone pulling out and suddenly all braking power is lost. Whilst gently applying the brakes now my car shudders and clunks and either locks up and skids or just glides without stopping...

After a lot of talks about the new fiesta ST I thought I might go down and check out what all of the fuss was about. (also had a quick bash in an 08 civic type R) So went down to a ford dealer outside Church Minshull and had a quick chat with one if the guys there and he offered to take us out...

As stated, spotted a silver 197 with cup spoiler cruising through Nantwich, anyone on here?

Hi Guys, Had an issue at the weekend when some pleasant driver decided to smash into my wing mirror detaching and cracking the glass. To be fair, it was kind of my fault as I should have folded the mirrors in. Bloody typical, the first time that I don't bother! Anyways, gets in the car and...

Has anyone had this dash error come up? I had it about a month ago when driving in the Lake District (which I assumed was down to being on a very steep hill, nose up with my engine on for 15 minutes waiting for the missus and the thin air :S) But after picking the little 'un up yesterday from...

White 197 outside the hotel, im at the Chinese restaurant up the road. Was watching your car as someone was pulling in quite close and took the license plate just in case.... Anyone on here?

So as the title says I finally got my car in on Monday to have the cambelt done. Dropped it off to Birchdown in the morning and picked it up around 4/5ish, everything seeming fine and dandy. Until, I looked in the Service Book (When I got home) and saw that the spark plugs hadn't been...

Dropped off my car this morning to Birchdown near Malpas for my Cambelt and a 5 year service. They have rang me and said that they were going to remove the brakes and shave them to improve the performance a little (my braking is a little poor at the moment). Just got a call and the brake...

Hi Guys, Thinking that I might jump into the 21st Century and get myself a tablet. Wanted one for a while and for just popping on the forum, watching films whilst away and generally dicking about on. Just wondered what experiences people had with them? I kind of wanted an acer transformer...
