Loving this car :) however..had some trouble with the carb but thats been sorted now. Car keeps cutting out whilst idling and the battery came on so i thought the battery might be knackered. Got a new battery but its still happening :( any ideas? My first thoughts were the alternator could be knackered...

Apart from that though its awesome! :D got a list of things i need to do to it to get it just how i want it so ill keep you guys posted!

Could be the alternator i did change regulator on it when i had it n that sorted it could be the same problem.

Sweeet car bud, I'm at city college too as I've seen yours in the car park today, probably see mine around during college times!

Think your the guy with the mohawk no?

Jake!

Stuff to do....

- Get alternator sorted

- Find a matching p/s doorcard

- Get some winter car mats

- Get a center console to hide the wiring

- Secure the speaker panels in the back better and whatnot..

Thats all for now ;)

Had wet feet from the snow, reversing into a space next to a brick wall and my foot slipped off the clutch and before i could hit the brake i kinda grinded against it :( Felt like a right fool! haha

Yeah i used to see the white mk2 outside, belongs to tom now right? You still got a vw? I think i saw a mk3 outside a while ago..

Yarp. Mk2 was mine, now got the mk3. Safe.

Sweet, i used to see a yellow and black derby near there aswell, was that yours?

In others news....thankyou to 'leonh' who is supplying me with a couple of replacement rear lights, also tested my alternator which is working fine.

Is it worth replacing the pierburg carb with a weber one which will cost around £140 new? Or should i just get a refurb kit off the net for it? My mate had a look at it and its one of the larger rubber mounts which has perished and is letting air in :(

Thats all for now!
