How good does the help have to be for beer tokens? I'm pretty useless but I can pass tools, even the right ones every now and again lol -
Have you got any pictures?

Well attempted it today got pretty much all the filth off but no luck with making it look nice enough for a pic and lost a screw for the plastic cover [emoji24] Also nearly got blocked in the garage so a 12 point turn was needed. Gonna to try again once I've removed my sai and some other bits. Quite surprised I didn't break anything lol.

Sorry to hear that man looked like this was gonna be a good one to watch. Any ideas on the next runaround?

Problem is around here all the jet wash places don't have a setting for just water, the cheapest setting always has shampoo first. Oh well back to lugging water containers down to the garage.

Cheers Keith gonna go have a look at that, don't really like the look of the nomad think it's more for rinsing which I've got a 5l pump pressure washer for that and not enough power to shift the stubborn stuff.

I put Velcro strips along the bottom to hold it to the carpet, never had it move and makes it easy to take it out if you need the extra space

Does anyone know of anywhere I can wash my car on a weekly basis in the Milton Keynes area? I've been trying to get more into detailing my car as I want to keep it looking it's best but I live on the 10th floor so cannot get water or electric to my garage. I've looked into water butts and generators but this is a large cost and I'm not allowed to keep fuel in the garage as it's council. I just want somewhere I can go and use my own products to wash my car that's reliable as currently I'm at the mercy of other peoples kindness, which has failed today due to a domestic (nothing serious just don't like the tension in the air). I have heard of places where you can pay to use the equipment but can't find any near me, seem to be a American idea. I know this is a strange one but any info would help. Cheers

Pretty much what mine looks like at the moment, gonna be a long day of cleaning lol

Cheers for the comments guys, bowders it's your engine that started my twitch lol. I want to remove the covers as I'm going to spray the cam cover and inlet manifold (as soon as I can get a spare set). Would electrical tape be enough just to make sure the wiring and coil packs don't get soaked? I'm thinking a whole day on the engine for the first wash so I can take my time and also because I can't use a pressure washer at home, garage is 100ft below. I've got a portable pressure washer (hand pump type) hopefully that should be alright. Lastly any tips on good brands for dressings?

Things lying in the road.... :(

Not sure how it happened but there was half a brake disc laying in the road the other day, guessing someone had a really bad day after that fell off -
The wide mouth guide for the vrs tells you how to remove the front bumper, shouldn't be too different for a tdi http://www.briskoda.net/forums/index.php?/topic/229051-How-To%3A-Front-Bumper-Mod-%28wide-mouth%29
