Sounds great ill pop over

Im a darlingtonian Octy driver

A big meet with a BBQ might be a winner

I run around in my silver 4x4 octy hatch, mines an 02 plate.

Loved today, Very impressed with Rob Collards driving and the weather

Cheers fellas

Hi fellas, Looking for somewhere in the Region (County Durham/Teesside) for a decent priced remap, as fancy a change from standard. Any ideas? Thanks Sid

Ill be there too courtesy of a friend and Dunlop

Im intrested to mate, let me know when things are moving forward.

Thanks for the response guys.

Just a quick one I think the answer is no but thought ill check. Have been offered a rear anti roll bar from a mates mk5 golf will this fit (octy 1 4x4 hatch) or do I need something a little older (or a whiteline etc) Cheers Sid

Mine says it every few months, remove the cd changer, check the cd's for damage and make sure no dust or debris is in the cd changer. This normally fixes the job for me.

For mine I average around 22-24mpg in town and on a goold long motorway route see 33-38mpg depending on my lead foot

On the way home up popped this light (little yellow one) ive had a quick flick through the manual and had a quick view using the search bar but couldnt find anything ideal to tell me whats the most likely culprit. Any ideas what the issue could be (Ill be sticking on a code reader tomorrow hopefully-not sure if its vag specific though) and will it likely be an expensive fix (as I had my eyes on a re-map this month :( ) Cheers Sid

Ive done it quite a few times and the biggest tip is when spraying make sure you are in a dustless environment otherwise dont expect to be happy wiht the finished product.

Popped into MSB yesterday for some bits and bobs and have to say great service, friendly, polite and extremely helpful. I can see me spending a lot more money there in the future.

Cheers mate ill try it. I disconnected the battery for a minute or so but ill take it off and leave it off a bit longer.

Ok so after having my door deadlooked shut for the last fortnight I managed to get in today by removing the card and smashing the lock to pieces. Replaced with a second hand lock form fleabay and guess what still doesnt work. Ive checked the connector to it and there is power there so im guessing its not a wire problem (also checked the drivers door unit and no corrosion or water ingress to it) any ideas??? Thanks Sid

I might pop down if I get my car fixed in time

Mine does it frequently due to dust in the player. I eject CD magazine, blow into changer and wallah its fixed every time for another few hundred miles

I was hoping to but SWMBO has sorted a belated mothers day meal.

While im on do the motors need to be coded to the car as im needing a new one (connector seems fine) and passenger door is deadlocked shut.

Im up for a sat or sunday

Cheers buddy ill give that a go tonight

OK guys got a major headache this week. My passengers side door wont open. I belive its deadlocked shut!! Ive opened up the drivers door and checked the convinience module and all looks well, tis bone dry. So my question is how can I open the deadlocked door without using a an irish spanner Cheers guys
