Where's the best place to get replacement centre caps for my Octy alloys please ?

Yes the A1 could work although it often seems slower than the Mways

Ok thanks for the info

hi all Am driving to Keswick from London later this month (leaving London early morning or possibly the night before and stopping over) looking for the best route that avoids morning congestion Any suggestions appreciated Cheers Ed

Yes that looks good but where to get a decent mark 4 golf carpet from ?

Yes cam belt and pump have been changed Had new clutch 2 yrs ago and is now serviced annually by local mechanic

Anyone any thoughts on the mechanics are there any particular things to look out for as it goes over 100,000 miles ?

Where's the best place to get black carpet from and what's the cost aprox ?

Carpet is white - well was white now more grey

Thanks James - whats mopped mean ?

My Octy vrs estates now 12 years old just clocked 100,000 miles and still going strong. Still great fun to drive. Remarkably its never had any issues not even a fuse needing replacement. Extraordinarily reliable. Body , alloys and interiors starting to look a little tired - those white seat sections were never a good idea. Wondering now should I spend some money cleaning it up and also if from this mileage up there are any major issues to look out for ? Do the turbos wear out at some point ? Don't want to spend money refreshing it if it may need big money spent on the mechanics. Tempted to change but it's been such a great car and also any like for like replacements going to cost quite a lot of dosh. How do you clean up tired interiors - when the carpets / Seats have had 12 years of small to mod sized child wear etc ? Thanks in advance

Ah ok then I'm reaching for my wallet

My French nephews managed to get parking fine for parking in a CPZ in a London suburb on his first evening in the UK. Anyone know are these pursued across frontiers ? (or am I gonna have to reach in my pocket... sigh)

Link to the auto trader ad doesn't work

Can anyone help me figure out and fix the problem that I have with my octy radio ( alpine, later addition) it doesn't work on any frequency in France But works fine on FM and Mw long wave in the UK.

Thanks group1vrs big advantage for me of wickedwheels is that they collect and return and quote £55 a wheel which seems quite good to me My 11 yr old alloys are a mess, need a good refurb

thanks, lepsons are quite pricey mind
