Re: Belt change or not?

Thanks mate. Although its a life threatening job for the car I just wanted to make sure it would hold out till then. The car is being resprayed as we speak so the thought of forking out 300quid is a bit tough at the mo (aka "project front bumper tidy-up") Guess the springs may have to wait...

Re: Brake Fluid Change?

Yes I had a letter through the post 2 months after I bought the car in feb this year. Charged 50quid but thought it was worth it (mines the same age as yours).

Re: Respray Front Bumper

Been to Sinclair body Repair Centre in Bridgend today, where I had my rear bumper resprayed (they did a top job to be fair). They quoted 150 quid for doing each end so it gives me time to either do the black in the middle myself or leave it as it is undamaged unlike the scuffs on each of the sides. ...

Re: Respray Front Bumper

Thanks for the prices and sound advice guys. Figured around £250 was about right. Think I need to have a think what look will be better plus I fancy doing something different and maybe by leaving the middle blue. After all its not a gti so I don't want to make it look like something its not. I kind ...

Re: What oil?

Problem being then is what oil did they put in for the service ( I guess I could always pop to the dealer and ask what oil they put in) so I don't mix it up?
