  1. Hi there, I'm almost convinced I have a dead/dying wheel bearing on the front drivers wheel. (know its not the tyres as have recently changed and the noise remains) I have found the part on jorily - 6Q0407621AJ. I was just wondering which other, if any, VAG cars this part is used on? I work in a scrap yard and we often have VAG cars come in so im just wondering whether I could take a wheel hub off another model of car... Would save a bit on buying a new part! Many thanks
  2. I got onto a bit of searching and found that both the 195 and the 205s with a 45 profile would go nicely. the existing tyres on there dont seem too bad so I may be able to do a swap with a garage for a set of nearly news
  3. Hi guys, Just wondering if these alloys will fit my car.. For a picture: 16" VOLKSWAGEN VW GOLF GENUINE ALLOY WHEELS AND TYRES on eBay (end time 11-Oct-09 11:13:07 BST) they are ET42 part no. 1J0 601 025L 6.5J 16H2 Tyres on them currently are 205 55s I have checked out on the tyre calculators on the internet and the difference from my current 175 65 14s and these is about 8.4%. most people recommend less than 5% difference but is it THAT bad? or do you just have to learn to drive a bit slower than the speedo is telling me? Cheers
  4. Check out adrianflux - i am with yesinsurance and paid 2100 for my 00 MPi and im 17. I did a quote with adrianflux and i think the insurers i go on there was provident.. got a quote for 1300. give them a try! might even get a discount being a member on this forum!
  5. Possibly repost this in the Octavia forum where the specialists live!
  6. I'm not trying to argue here but it seems every website I check says that is all we need. We aren't going to be employing anyone so I don't believe we need employers liability but then again I may be wrong. Anyway thanks for the advice and I will let you know how we get on!
  7. With regards to insurance, I have again just gone through the Lloyds TSB business insurance questionnaire and answered the question.. Would you require insurance to damage done to customers property whilst working? and it still comes to £15.67 a month. Financially speaking I can see what you are saying but this is a relatively low financial risk for us, living with parents and intending on running it out of small cars. Hence low overheads. Declaring incomes shouldn't be a problem as we are almost certainly not going to be going over the personal allowance. We are going to be running this over the summer and possibly carry on into next year if we do get customers so I will reassess the business at the end of August. Even if the business completely fails it will still be a good thing for my CV as I wish to go into Business Management in the future and this experience will be useful either way. Thanks for your input
  8. Looks absolutely amazing Baker, as always! Just out of interest how long do you spend per car? An amazing result
  9. Mr Muscle window cleaner with vinegar.. £1 from tescos.. Done! Alternatively tesco own brand 88p and does the same job
  10. Whats the actual difference between them? Visually I cant tell the difference, the only thing I can think of is the beading effect you get from a rain repellent.. Does the glass polish result in a same sort of finish?
  11. This is very true. In that case I think I will stick to using cloths! In relation to the claiming for damage comment.. I was looking on a Lloyds TSB Business insurance site earlier and for Car Valeting with £1million public liability insurance it was £15 per month. This may be very useful should someone claim against us for damage that may or may not have been caused by our washing
  12. We have a couple of microfibres along with a chamois and a water blade as well to get the majority of the water off the big panels. We thought of £20 as a price for the above as we will probably need £3/4 to cover petrol costs of travelling to the clients house. Luckily we have vacuum and karcher pressure washer already so the only real costs are of the sprays and cloths we need.
  13. Hey guys, Just a quick question for y'all! Thinking of setting up a Home valet service with a friend for the summer hols into our gap years. Basically we would go to peoples houses at a time that suited them and provide a base package including a warm wash/wax followed by full chamois/drying. Touching up small scratches as and when with T-Cut or equivalent. We would then apply tyre dressing and bumper polish for plastic trim. We would then use upholstery shampoo/cleaner on the carpets and mats after a full vacuum and polish. Cleaning out the ash tray etc. Finishing up by using window polish on the inside and outside windows & windscreens. That would be the base package with optional paid extras such as a hand applied wax, autoglym polish, alloy wheel sealant, leather cleaner. How much would you pay for this service? (if you didn't wash the cars yourselves) A lot of people have said why aren't we pricing cheaper than the Polish roadside and car park valets but I believe that people would be willing to pay a premium for us to come to their house at a convinient time for them and use high quality products to achieve a high quality finish. Any input is appreciated! Thanks
  14. I have used this offer quite a few times recently.. It brings the prices down over the 3 items to roughly online prices, or at least more in-line with online prices!
  15. open up the boot, remove the trim around the top of the car and pull the headlining down a bit.. there is a 22mm bolt (i think) on the bottom of the base amplifier. undo this and unclip the cable and it should slot out the top of the roof
