i'm surprised you're getting such crap quotes from elephant, myself and my friends all live in london (which i think has the highest rate for insurance) and elephant has always been the cheapest they beat the best quote i got by £2000... for the record i was 20, 0ncb, 0days of having a license etc ...

I would be very interested, i had a pretty nasty run in with a kerb at about 40/50 mph round a bend, wishbone, suspension etc were screwed and obviously the wheels, so as i said would be v interested
pretty please!

It's so annoying... Also with the extra weight of passangers, you really could use abs!

My ABS light usually comes on when i have passangers in the rear. A little engine restart usually gets the light off.

Also don't wanna state the obvious, but when ur abs light is on the abs is not on

I would be interested as well

Got mine in september 2006,
after a couple of days one of the rear wheels came loose,
a week or two after that my gearbox went,
following this i changed my cambelt
now my clutch is screwed so its gone for a checkup and by the looks of things, from what i read here and from what the mechanic at ...

i went to see a friend of my dad's who works at VW and he said he'll try and help out so the car is going in on monday for a check up and hopefully a fix

11 people have driven my car and said check your clutch out,

went to some random garage and dude told me my clutch ...

thx for your replies guys i'll try the 4th gear thingy and see what happens
£85 for a diagnostic at VW
i'm not gonna pay that for them to unscrew a couple of bolts and stick em back in...
Does anyone know if i can diagnose the actual problem myself?

I think my clutch and/or clutch cable and/or pedal box is about to go, how dangerous is it to drive, is there a chance of me damaging my car? I really need it, but if it means killing it then i'll cycle or something : )
it's a 2000 W reg with 77k on the clock if that helps and i've just been through ...

Got mine chnged a month or two ago VW said between £500 and £600 for belt and water pump, got it done for £210 by a non VW garage : ) so i'd say backstreet...
