I'm selling my Polo. The gearbox has died again and I've had enough. Might get a cheap and cheerful AEB. :P

I've officially left the B5 world. It was fun but I do miss driving a man's car. :( Here's what I picked up last weekend:

Can someone give me a list of things I need to buy to replace the clutch on my 1.8T AJL quattro? Preferably with part numbers! Obviously I need a clutch - but what else? It's not really my area of expertise...

Where is it located? Hazards work fine but when I pop a turn signal on (left or right), they blink maybe twice then stay on. Does this sound like the hazard relay?

Hi children! How's things? Just thought I'd update you... My TQS is still sat on my drive. :( I couldn't sell it on the run up to xmas, despite listing it on eBay twice and Autotrader. Had a few interested parties but they all pulled out or offered too little. Now it has another burst tyre -...

Some w****r went into back of me while I was stationary today. Damage is minimal but he refused to give me any details. Traffic was absolutely gridlocked so I figured it was pointless phoning the police as they would never get to us. I phoned the police and they said to take all my documents...

Brentacre Insurance refused to renew me as my claim has reached £20k and still not been settled, so Highway won't touch me with a bargepole. Fully comp quotes elsewhere are coming in at £2,5k and I really can't afford this. So it looks like we're going to be a one car family now. :( On the...

I think I managed to kill my clutch yesterday. I fancied a bit of traffic light grand prix with a Golf GTI and managed to rev it to the redline in first and second... but the car moved no more than 15 yards. Horrible smell when I got it home. Now the revs jump randomly, mostly in 3rd gear. I...

Is it actually supposed to pop the bootlid? I can hear the latch go when I hold the button on the remote for 2 seconds but it doesn't actually pop open. Maybe my boot struts are knackered?

What bulbs do the front bumper fogs take? H1? Going to buy some chavvy "xenon" bulbs because the light from mine is a little yellow. Can anybody recommend some good, bright bulbs?

I bought a new Audi Symphony for the bargain price of £30 which I hope to retrofit. Didn't realise though that the A/C control for the double DIN centre consoles is hella expensive (saw a used one go for £110 with shed loads of bids... must be rare?). Looks like the only difference really...

Just have to go to Surrey to collect it. *rolls eyes*

Finally sold the engine and the buyer's going to trailer the whole car tomorrow. Let me know here if you need anything exotic or obscure. Most of the good stuff has gone but let me know if you need anything and I'll remove them ready for you today and tomorrow. It's a '96 1.8T AEB in Europa...

Saw these mentioned on a forum when I was bored at work looking at turbocharging an IS200. *rolls eyes* Look at the size of the inlet on these babies... they make awesome power apparently. Holset HX 40 Turbo on eBay (end time 05-Sep-10 18:29:18 BST)

...for a 88k 1.8TQS with an intermittent oil pressure light (electrical fault apparently) and 8k overdue its cambelt service? It also has little service history for the past few years so would probably need its bushes replacing all round too. Potential can of worms and money pit but could...

Can't wait any longer for a 1.8TQS. :( Been looking for 3 months now and have literally had the funds for nearly 2 months. Just can't seem to find one that meets my criteria. If I can't find one soon, I'll have to settle for something else. Sucks but I really need a car. :\

Did all of them come with ESP?

There's a pipe that runs from the turbo to the sump. If I undo this pipe at the sump, will the oil drain out?

How heavy is an AEB compared to an AHU? When I broke my old Golf I removed the engine the ghetto way. Dropped it onto a parcel trolley I got from B&Q for £15, tied it to it with some rope and wheeled it into the garden. :D Mind you, my Golf was lowered so it was only a small drop onto the...
