Thank you Polo owners

Thank you Polo owners

Jakki posted a topic in Mk2 Polo,

Hi Everyone
 
I'd like to say a massive thank you for all the help and advice you have given me since I got my Aunts 1989 Polo Mk 2, what a brilliant group you all are.
 
Just to say that she has now been sold and is off to Dorset next Wednesday. Quite an epic trip, I presume by a transporter, or it will take forever. I wanted to keep her but hubby didn't like driving her at all, can't see why!
 
Thanks again, these forums are invaluable.
 
Cheers Jakki   ???? x

Post in The Polo Social - Your first time? What is it? What to Expect? How to Book!

nige8021 posted a post in a topic,

We have confirmed the prices with Kelham Hall and you can now book your stay via our shop!
https://www.clubpolo.co.uk/store/category/8-the-polo-social-2018/ the standard rate is £21/night, this is for 2.adults & 4 children 1 car, 1 tent/caravan/motorhome, the current rate @Kelham is £25/night so you are already getting a discount and fully paid members will receive a further discount on booking up to 10 days before the event, after this the same £21/night will apply, there are some extras that will be collected at the gate £5/night for additional adults, £5/night for additional cars & £2/night for dogs
 
Please do not try and book direct with Kelham as you will be charged the full £25/night and due to our PLI insurance will not be permitted to camp with the main show area, you will be in the general camping site..
 
This year we are accepting bookings from the Thursday night till Sunday night, but on those days there will be nothing planned in the way of entertainment and anyone staying on those nights might be asked to assist in the putting up/dismantling of the club marquee.
 
This year due to so many people "forgetting their passes" we will not be posting the passes out, they will be on the gate collection

nige8021 posted a topic in Members Only,

As from today 1st Jan 2018 we will be updating the membership packs, unfortunately this means there will be a delay in the posting out of the new packs until all the new items have been received, hopefully all the new items should be with me by the middle of this month and I will then work as quick as possible to catch up and resume the normal weekly postings.

      headlamps not bright enough

      By nige8021 · Posted

      The main problem is the wiring to the headlights isn't up to the job, the wires are too small for the current and so you get a voltage drop, instead of getting 12.5v at the bulbs you'll be lucky to have 10v and just fitting 60/55W bulbs will only make the problem worse as the current will be higher and that will result in even lower voltage at the bulbs, the only real way to improve the lighting is to fit a relayed loom with a heavy duty wire to supply the relays and use the original wiring to control the relays

      hi all, I've recently picked up a 77 mk1 and the drive back at 2 am on the m6 with no street lighting and inches away from temporary crash barriers was airy to say the least, according to manual, h/lamp bulbs are 40/45w, can I just do a straight swop and fit uprated h4 60/55w bulbs or is there more to it. cheers..

      GT wannabe

      By yopa89 · Posted

      Hi everyone!   I became a owner of some fine looking machine. It cost me 500 euros with two sets of wheels with winter and summer tires on them, and two original keys with alarm, GT interior with few parts missing, service book almost like new, custom made exhaust and 1.3 AAU engine inside. Whole car was repainted but I noticed rust in the few places but for that price I must do something myself I have bought third set of wheels, some BBS copy ACT wheel. 7.5J 15, ET 38. It fits perfectly with some yokohama  195/45 tires. I still need to get the car down for a bit and repaint those wheels.   Here are some pics of the car.
