:fie: As I've said before there is nothing wrong with a Trabant and a Baikal! :crazy: If you want to be remembered amongst the shooters?
I have no choice, in fact It's sideways in a leg O'mutton now :biggrin:With regard to boot storage of guns I was given some good advice by David Kostelecky no less when he saw me loading my guns (in cases) lengthways into the boot of my car. He rightly pointed out that if you load guns lengthways and got 'rear ended' your gun is highly likely to be damaged so always load widthways. I've followed that advice religiously since.
Common sense really but that never was my strong point

Dsg gearbox turning out to be a nightmare. massively deep pockets when it goes tits up 4k plus. VW Deelers don't like getting involved with em either leave well alone once out of warranty.Not as flash as some but VW Tiguan 170PS turbo diesel 4x4 with full leather, big wheels, DSG gearbox and satnav and few other toys will push £40K new and return 40+ MPG
But what I would really buy (money no object) is an Audi RS4 Avant. Ultimate stealth ballistic missile With essential kit comes in at an eye watering £59K !! You can forget the 40+ mpg though !!
Now where are my lottery numbers?

Just had a new torque converter and gearbox refurbishment on my disco 3 with 160,000 miles on it, by an auto specialist this last week, £2400 plus VAT. But she'a like a new'en now! Money well spent.Dsg gearbox turning out to be a nightmare. massively deep pockets when it goes tits up 4k plus.

Are you sure? The clocks have a tendency to go haywire, drives fine but the needles are all over the shop yet behaves if you have the blowers on recycled air at a certain power. Oh, and the driver side headlight throws a hissy fit and tries to auto adjust the beam constantly on setting '0'. The clutch feels very heavy, and is an effort to change gear. Other than that, it's great. :girlcrazy:Send it down here and I will get the students to fix it.
If only you could say the same about the parrot?If it bites near the floor it's on its way out.
Excellent, I shall do that.Sounds like you've got damp in the connections.
Try this.
Buy some silicon electrolyte grease (Halfords) find the ecu big silver looking box with big wiring connection on it.
Unplug the plug clean the connections carefully, wd40 is good, and fill with the grease, refit.
You can do this with all the wiring plugs you come across.
The connections get something like a laquer on them.
Clutch sounds like its had it. If it bites near the floor it's on its way out.
Hope this helps.
well thats my job for Monday sorted then. Had already decided to change the clutch along with brake discs and pads, thankfully parts are relatively cheap.Sounds like you've got damp in the connections.
