What did you and your MKV do today?

[scottm72]

I have no great idea of under the bonne buisness, i bought a dv for precautions and it payed off!! Its unlocked so much power !

cool someone with the same expertise as me under the bonnet lol
did you fit it yourself then and if not what did it cost to do

[camfollower]

Fitted the new grab handles and last of chrome switches  
Looking much nicer now!

Nice, does it make a lot of difference visually?  I'm planning this.
I have a new drivers side grab handle and I've done the A/C dial surrounds which look great for the money... no, they look great even if they were £50.

link says £8.50 for the cchrome a/c rings ? is it the same ones you have fitted ?
was looking to get some but wasnt sure on the quality being so cheap
 

They are good quality to be fair mate.  

The only negs are that they stick out a little, but I knew this before purchase, and as you're probably thinking, hmm they will look nafff... they really don't, and will suit the rest of your chrome mods very nicely.  And secondly they are from China/HK... although this really isn't a problem these days if your willing to wait a bit... think they took around 7 working days for me.

is that from the same seller yeah ?
i have seen some higher prices, up to £40 or so which led me to believe that some where way better than others - maybe not though
thanks again

Yes they are the exact listing that I bought.

Can't really comment on the quality of more expensive ones, but I tend to believe there's someone inbetween making a quick buck... and them turning out to be exactly the same thing.

At £8, it really is worth a pop with the aforementioned info.

thanks for that, will buy a set to go with the interior switch chrome tips
thanks posted

I will getting mine fitted next week just before remapping, going to cost £25 for fitting, which I thought was reasonable

Yeah, as far as I'm concerned it made a big difference because both my old handles had lots of marks and scratches and they ruined the look of the interior. The switches make it look a bit smarter and match nicely with all the original chrome bits. Probably just get used to it, but it does look much better now!

where the grab handles just a straight like for like swap or have you some kind of visually different ones ?

Straight swap yeah. Although they are maybe very slightly lighter grey, but prob just cos the others were well aged!

I could feel mine was gone. Just had it replaced for a revision G by an independent for £98. But that included finding and clearing the fault codes.

Was going to Clean and Protect the car today along with fitting a few bits I've got sitting in the garage. Went outside and decided it was was too cold so now back inside with a beer waiting for a day of Rugby!

Yes it is

....They don't normally increase power. So I can only think that your old DV had an undetected leak in the diaphram which could have reduced power - Not uncommon.

Well the old was was shagged, if you see the picture a page or two back you will see what i mean. so the whole time i had it i recon it has been like this because now it feels amazing!

Made the most of the Sunny dry weather today, spent 4 hours cleaning up Phylis..

used Autobrite snow foam, Meguires Gold Class, AG New formula Resin Polish 2 coats. 1 Coat of Nattys Red Paste wax, and a quick spray over of Zaino Z6/Z8.

Nice! I've got the same tax disc holder. Hmm, now would it be rude to steal that idea?
