That's so cool when you get the chance to do that!  I wonder if they love theirs like we love ours?  It looks in good nick though.

traveled to Peterborough to collect some coilovers I bought on facebook bargain for £40. Need to buy some lower profile tyres then shes getting lowered.

@Buggirl she's in arite nick. Afew marks etc . Hows your polo ?

Great thanks.  Just love her to bits!  She has a few dents and scratches but just love being in a polo again!

That's cool!

Past few days ive been having starting issues in the morning and after finishing work. Traced it down to one of the ht leads, when I pulled it out and it just fell off  connector thing and inside was all brittle black crumbs.  ordered a set from ebay which im going to make up

. Another question. Is it safe to drive my car with the throttle body position sensor disconnected?  Reason being last week my revs was bouncing up and down as soon as you start it and it doesn't go away, im 100% sure there are no air leaks in the vac pipes as they have been changed to silicon and already checked it. Soo when i unpluged the position sensor on the throttle bod the revs go back to normal.

My ht leads came today, soo I quickly made a new king lead as the current one was toast and plugged the throttle position sensor back in and started it, it was revving up an down soo I took it for a spin to see if it would clear and it was misfiring like a pig, no power and keeps cutting out when not reved hard. Have a feeling its my distributor and rota arm. when I removed my current (toasted) king lead from the distributor there was like a greeny colour on the distributor cap connector. Orderd a new distributor cap and rota arm hopefully that should sort it and then I can fit the coilovers

Nightmare!  Hopefully this will sort the issue.

@Buggirl basically the king lead fried and messed up my coilpack which smelt funny. Soo today I changed the distributor cap and the rotor arm metal contacts were bent, soo changed them along with a new coil pack , ht leads, plugged the throttle position back on and bingo its all sorted now , no rev bouncing or misfiring.Will upload pics tomorrow.

Since ive felt abit motivated that she's running sweet I decided to swap to standard shocks to coilovers. Done the back. Need to do the fronts tomorrow morning.

^^^^ as you can seen the rotor arm metal contact the is bent.

 

upload gif replaced the distributor cap and coil pack as it cured my misfiring/ lack of power and bouncy revs . The ht leads I bought off ebay had the wrong fittings for the spark plugs. Soo i ordered the right fittings but couldn't wait for delivery , I then went on the polo 6n buying & selling page on face book and picked a set of 16v ht leads local for £15.00 . All fitted and now running smooth. I then fitted the front coilovers today .
