the door catch is tiny
On the mk6/7 I used an 8mm bolt

Cant fault that, proper Lincolnshire blacksmith engineering, the commonwealth was built on stuff like that.

[bigjohnthomas]

Well I wasn't paying £14.99 for one from the shop

I've done a couple of thousand miles in it now and the old mk7 never went under 36 mpg
If I drive this like a turtle I can't get over....funny as it was on 34mpg when I got it home before the battery went flat
Then a couple of weeks ago it started complaining about brakes worn I had already checked the fronts so put some new pads in the back and would the light go off
Will it bugger go off
Bloody ford

Time to take the angle grinder to it

Driving with the doors open won't help the mpg N

[rimotu66]

Erm just how many Lb's of steelwork have you glued in the back?

[bigjohnthomas]

Prob about 200kg
Not more than the mk7 though thats got 4 cage doors

[rimotu66]

Ah ok, not that then.

[smokeytransit]

Go fast stripes causing to much drag?

[bigjohnthomas]

Brake pad wear warning was this little b*stard
According to my meter its 31 homos that must be bad
New one £5.20 egay
These back tyres appear to be wearing out rather quickly I noticed while I was down below
Bloody ford
Have to go and see if the the part worn dude has any

Have you sent your injectors and pcm off for testing at loot labs yet?

[bigjohnthomas]

Whwn its Warm too now and again

[loot]

Bloody Ford
