Didn't get a spanner with it?

Did you check inside the little plastic bag with the manual in it?
This is a very small light spanner.

The Golf can't be that bad!

Extensive surgery on my predator today, rear plastics and subframe off, k&n and carb off, starter out (its fooked) it needs lots of bolts, some new ball joints, I need to shorten the chain and check the clutch.

Its time my young fella learned to ride a 'proper' bike, gotta get it right for him.

500lbs and approx 50hp, should keep him interested for the summer;)

Expecting dgt to wander in any minute:D

I'd have that TD making more power than that V6 :pac:

ANyone know anything about passat window regulators?
The brother in law failed his nct for the drivers window not opening. Just got 2 quotes to repair, €250, & €300.
I would have thought that was quite dear, but does that sound right to ye?
01 passat.
1 guy told him he thought the window might have "popped off" as its failure apparently started while opening the window in a frost. That repair would be only 40. Haven't heard of that before, is this common on passats?

Cheers.

In other news, this place is having a renovation. You can see (just about) in the picture there is a Renault 19 van, I remember seeing it driving about as a child and has been sat up since early 2000

It is now sideways facing up in a skip and looks rather comical :pac:

It's still there :pac:

Ardennes1944

Not a car but I really thought I'd have my amp sold by now. Loads of interest but no money.

What amp is it?

Supersonic 60w 112.

Really?
I'm on my phone now but almost sure I have it visable.

TestTransmission

No sig Cian..

CianRyan

Weird, should be this:

Fender Supersonic 60W For Sale

Is there a check box to show it/hide it? Can't find it if there is.

dgt

Cian are you on a phone?

Gary ITR

Is the amp priced a bit high if it needs tubes? Surely you'd be better off fixing it then sticking it on Dungdeal

CianRyan

Yep, I was looking on the full site though.

Edit: for proper tubes you're looking at about €250 for the lot.
I know enough to know its only one bad tube but not enough to figure out which one it is. It's an intermittent problem I can't just keep swapping 'till it works.
Thought I had it sorted a while back but no luck.
Sooo... I don't have the money to retune it but I'm open to cash offers on it, if t it didn't need tubes at be asking €1100.

Had it on donedeal, didn't even get 50 views.

What can you swap him, a half burned piece of wood from the camp fire and a double barreled shotgun?! :P

Ardennes1944

CianRyan

Get the bids in, lads. The piece of wood is tempting!
