Driving some where!
my air con/climate control does not work on cold, got the workshop foreman at work to have a peek he touched a pipe that should be be cold and was warm and said when I turn it on it is not working right as there is no tell tale click as it starts up.


Sounds like your A/C needs 're-gassing' as your not getting any cold air! Sorry don't know the cost of this.

In front of a PC....
Monday Milltek will be on costing £25, also my air con/climate control does not work on cold, got the workshop foreman at work to have a peek he touched a pipe that should be be cold and was warm and said when I turn it on it is not working right as there is no tell tale click as it starts up. Hoping it won't be too expensive. Was gonna get the air con guy who comes into work to look but he is always there when I am not so give up now.

Thanks Aaron yes my accident and my Dads were in the exact same spot and someone was killed a mile or so more down the same road on Sunday to many impatient people overtaking on that road outside my house, very dangerous.

Sounds like your A/C needs 're-gassing' as your not getting any cold air! Sorry don't know the cost of this.

An air con recharge/regas will prob cost about £70 upwards depending on where you go. When my car had it done I was charged £99 for it but its soo handy especially over the past month or so. Seat recommend that its done every 2 years.
Good to hear that the Milltek is finally going on :D

Right Milltek is on air con re gassed in time for this heat wave! I am happy with the sound and looks spot on mounted just right :)
Body shop sorting out my flaking bumper paint this week he said. Organising a detail with Optimal Shine who did Ad Lav's cars and also getting pressed metal plates, plain surrounds and new SCN stickers in chrome. Fingers crossed all is sorted before the National meet.

Well next will be cupra and powerflex wishbone bushes and sorting out the brakes you sold me like a year ago! Then maybe tints and remap to finish.
Still put off coilovers tbh as I am not capable of fitting them then stripping them down and cleaning them 12 times and year and er as if I want to do that every month!

You only have to take the wheels off to grease up the coilovers... not a hard job!

Have you not got a boyfriend to do that?!

lol my last boyfriend had no interest in cars at all and I like to be able to do most things myself.

Right just had my car detailed by Sam (thanks Adam!) http://optimalshine.com/ he was here at about 08:30 this morning until about 5pm the car looks soooo amazing I am so pleased with it been waiting for this to be done for ages! Unfortunetely it was been drizzling all day so can't take nice photos outside which is a real shame as my pics do no justice to all the hard graft!

couple of pics before (not cleaned the car for 2 months!)

Looks better than new! Exhaust looks great too :)

I might have to get a set of pressed plates myself. Do they have the BSAU stamp on them? Where are you getting the surrounds from? I wasn't sure if the surround and plate would fit on the rear bumper (height wise)

Yeh good point actaully is a small gap will have to see, someone on here must have them on? Boo has an extra set bought by mistake off Ebay so was gonna put them on at the National meet.
Plates are the legal ones from Dubmeister bought in a group buy on another forum cost me £26 incl postage so am chuffed. The have very subtle Dubmeister logo on them in the middle and BSAU to the right. You can get GB ones and different surrounds from Dubmeister but I wanted them plain.

Car looks stunning, he does a good job :)

All it really needs is a little lowering, maybe Koni FSD's? Lower 40mm ish I think, not adjustable...
