Re: My Polo - Bought Stuff.
sam-si :Michael! :They're getting polished up and have new tyres
but you just brought this set? or you keeping one set for spares?
I'm using the minilites if they fit because I like them haha. But I've also go another set of wheels with new tyres on which are going to go on the blue ones when they've been refurbed - if you get me?

Michael! :They fit and work fine except for the temp display...
I think you're thinking of 9n's? As I beleive the immobiliser is in the clocks on that model Ryan?
Strange, my brothers polo which was the model before was clocks immo coded im sure. If its a coding issue the temp gauge can prob be fixed with coding.
Jony, i've tried sales but i've got the best job now, earning proper money now i've got my new job

Re: My Polo - Bought Stuff.
im scared of doing rings, i once done them on my 50cc scooter and i snapped the first lot, had to wait another 2 weeks to order another set from japan, mind i was 16 and that was a honda vision
go get yourself a ring compressor then, when fitting the piston once the rings are in place and the compressor on, use a block of wood and a mallet to tap the piston in the bore slowly!

Re: My Polo - Fixing and selling.
so im not loosing my job, but im on my final warning for various things that have happened.
im planning on fixing this to a standard id be happy with when buying and selling it on!
so for that it needs;
new exhaust bend (over the rear axel)
New Wing (which ive now got)
the helper springs putting back in the rear (also got)
bumper insert replacing as it fell off while driving
ANOTHER new set of wheels (also got - pics tomorrow)
ill be down at my garage this saturday to do my rear beam on the mk3 and hopefully will get the wing stripped of its paint and primered, also get pictures of its new ride height with the helper springs and new wheels (which are 15's!)
