Don't know what it will be, but it will be less than a year away! Problem is I change my mind every week as to what I want. If it's not RWD, then the chances are it will be VAG 1.8T or 1.9TDi powered.

I keep thinking RWD Jap, but then i'll be thing RWD Jap when i buy my next VAG.

I'd quite like another Cordy......

Form an orderly queue for Ol' Rusty, gents!

On a bad note, my clutch is distinctly squeaky, I think I may have to re-inspect the pedal box

 

[EnGbudd]

Doesnt sounds good lol

 

[Todd Clayton]

Hi im new on the road, just brought my ibiza 97 a couple of months ago, and the pedal box a broke. i have someone to help me with the job, were up to...

all the nuts around the pedal box are removed, the little glove box below the steering wheel, the steering wheel and clocks are out, stuck on the steering colum where you have to take the shear pins out, how do you get them out to remove the actual pedal box.

thanks Todd

 

[AlpineWhite]

Hi Todd,

Sorry for the late reply! I used a dremel tool. Ended up with the dremel facing the wrong way round (i.e. the disc end faced towards me, rather than away from me) and cut the heads of the shear bolts off. The other option was to use a drill, but I couldn't fit mine in the space.

Good quote from the AA man the other day (friend's car broke down)

AA man: "So what's yours then, a 1400?"
Me: "No, it's the two litre version"
AA man: "Oh. (pause) How do you manage that as a student?"
Me: "Only just"

 

[Toledo Widow]

That's brilliant.

I don't reckon my 8v GTi's have cost any more to run and maintain than the 1.4's........ the 16v however

 

[AlpineWhite]

True enough, I've not needed to do anything that a 1.4 wouldn't have needed. Made me grin anyway.

Just taken it for a run out on the country roads. Was lucky enough to follow a TVR who was taking it steady on the way out, and then a clear road with the sun setting behind me on the return. One of those occasions where everything is just right

I know just what you mean, i was coming home the other night when this gorgeous blonde came up behind me in an even more gorgeous Alfa GTV V6, sun setting V6/2.0 8v sound track bit of country lane fun, really doesn't get much better.

Sunset / sunrise - there's no better time for driving!
