Today I did something to my car (volume 2)

Bpmull

Speaking of pollen filters I need to get one for the golf. What's the best one to get from this list. The Bosch one seems the best value for money and I would assume a decent filter.

micksgarage pollen filters

Also are all these filters the same as some say for cars with a/c others say nothing. I need to get one that's going to work with the a/c. Hanks for any help.

Also can't see any blueprint filters are they only for certain car brands.

For German cars it's usually Mahle I think.

The Mann filter would be original equipment probably but with that list i would go for the bosch.

Why won't god let me have a set of tyres for more than a few weeks before getting a puncture? :mad:

I once had three in three weeks while recovering from a back injury. The hard part was getting the spare out of the boot. The third time it hurt so much I got angry and broke one of the studs when tightening her up.

You can get that patched.

That's the plan. Hate getting anything to do with tyres done though, it's heart stopping watching them.

Hey everyone quick question, would these be Ok for number plate bulbs on a mk4 golf? (size wise? ) and I won't have any errors on the dashboard if I put them in?

39mm is the size yeah?

Also, just bought a replacement button for the arm rest latch there.

You won't get any errors on the dash of a MK4 golf no matter what lights you put in, there is no bulb out warning system on the mk4.

What he means by heart stopping is the fact that he just got his alloys refurbished. I know exactly where he's coming from. I got new tyres on the rear a while ago and the clown scratched the inner barrel when removing the old weights despite the fact that I asked him to be careful.

Got rid of the ''Golf'' and ''1.6'' badges on the back.



Put in LED number plate bulbs too. Can't wait to see them at night. Next job has to be plates!

There's a shiny plastic surface over them which has faded over time. Might just get a new standard set.

pressed metal plates over plastic all day, look much better.

Yep. I'll be taping them on too, don't like the screw marks.

Feckin one of the led's blew already :pac: Bringing it back tomorrow to swap it for another.

Oh and I just picked up these:

JohnBoy26

Looks a lot better with the badges imo.

rizzee

I like it without, I think it gives it a more clean, flushed appearance

If so, They only work one way
Turn it around and connect the opposite way.

For the final time, I changed a tyre on the 406

Old crap tyre


Halfway


Finished and much better


Means I also replaced the steel spare I had. Toolkit fits nicely in it too


And that's the end of an era, it won't be appearing in here anymore from me

Noccy_Mondy

Are you going to sell or strip it or what?

It's alright, I've seen.
