What have you done to your mk4 (golf/bora) today?

[rutti]

removed drink holder tray from dash, and soaked it in soapy water, blow dried it dry, and now it pops out without getting stuck

Hi McDub,
Would this work on the rear cupholders too?

[Back Door Shenanigans.]

Yeah it did it for me when i did the same thing. Only problem now is that my front cup holders flap keeps jamming on the pocket so im not sure how im going to fix that.

Tell me more !
What car (year) Where from, How much, How hard to install, How satisfied are you ?

My Golf is a 2001 GTI. The specific unit I bought can be seen at Rightclick, though they have many options, including some very OEM looking units with the flip key, but I didn't go with this option since it costs a bundle to get the key programmed. Total delivered from the UK was $52.50

Installation was a doddle. Mine just sits inside the drivers door, and hooks into the door control module. I haven't as yet connected it to the indicators (I'm pretty lazy) but have installed the wiring from the unit through the door rubbers so I don't need to remove the door card again.

Satisified? Hell yes! It locks and unlocks, with a very impressive range. What more could you ask from a keyless entry system?

Been buying a few bits and pieces for the bora. Also received my tyres for my BBS wooo. had two tyres fitted so far. mounted one of the rear wheels on the car. my dad got a little angry when he saw the 'poke' of the rim haha. cant get a good shot of it due to it being dark outside

EDIT:

This is with my coilovers wound basically all the way up in the rear. That stick is sitting against the top and bottom lip. 12-15mm gap between the pole and the outside of the arch.
Think i might need some more camber haha

Thanks I may have to do this. I have no remote locking ATM, so nothing to recode. I'd just move the transponder from my spare key.

thats why i said haha. I think it sticks out alot more in person. Just had a play with the height and it comes in a lot in a small drop.

Bugger is right - though maybe an opportunity to upgrade to some nice projectors

We'll see...saving up for suspension at the moment so I doubt it but I had thought of that. Hopefully can pick up a 2nd hand cluster for a reasonable amount, as insurance only covers the windscreen unless I want to fork out an excess - which would likely be more than the replacement headlight costs anwyay.

Think I mite be following your lead! Mine didnt come with remotes either. I think Im going to go for the flip key ones. Any idea where you can get the keys cut onto the blanks that come in those kits, and how much you'd be looking at? I assume you couldnt just get it done at any old key cutting joint. And what do you mean by moving the transponder from the spare key? Is that the little black notch thing at the base of the key?

I don't think it matters if you get the top of the wheel in with camber though, I have a feeling the whole wheel has to be inside the arches when you look vertically down from above the arch, so that you can't see any of the wheel at all... Though you'd hopefully get away with it
