I am a recent discoverer of carhuddle.com
Very well laid out if a little London/South East centric plus on the Twitter and the Instagram too (@carhuddleuk and @carhuddle respectively)
I think if it gathers pace and gets more shows/users it could become the definitive place for filling previously free weekends - I missed my favourite show this year that's only a few miles from my house and was alerted only by the vintage traffic clogging the streets trying to get home d'oh

Hi mate
Is it the VLSD or the Torsen (mk2) or aftermarket?
Also what colour is it? And what seats does it have.
Finally spending time on my mazda this winter and have a big ol list!
Cheers

The issue with the 'screen miŕroring...
Is that its a bit of a faff compared to the full fat Carplay or Android Auto
Single din slide out screens with Carplay start at 4-500ish which is sometimes more than the car! I got my double DIN for 350
I'd go secondhand decent brand or save the pennies for a Carplay/Android auto
Just my two pence:D

I'm afraid I've had a couple
First one emitted a small puff of electrical smoke and died when the (previously working and therefore correctly wired) ISO blocks clicked in. Second one lasted 3/4 months BUT was noticeably rubbish.
The bluetooth never worked etc etc. They were for different cars, the single DIN smoke unit i replaced with a 30 quid used Pioneer (still working) and the touch screen one got replaced with a JVC M730BT - best thing I've ever done. The proper Apple Car Play / Android Auto is a revelation! Voice controlled Waze, Google Maps, Spotify, Audiobooks, internet radio etc etc... game changer.
Also because it's Google/Siri voice recognition, it actually recognises voices. I can also confirm it's accent proof.
The issue with the 'screen miŕroring... to be continued got to get on the tube

Beautiful car and huge bargain
G60 steels and coilovers and the veedub lads (myself included) would queue round the block to give the new owner £5k
No time/space/money here but good luck pal

Hi David
Wheels are now free to a RR member that removes them provided you bring some old/scrap/dud wheels so I can still move it.
In Kingston upon thames getting weighed in this week (probably Wednesday). Have headlights and ABS pump removed but have given up on the rest due to lack of interest/timewasters.
Managed to find someone (giveacar) where they pick it up and donate proceeds to charity. Thats what i was going to do anyway with any money i got from it.
I repeat - all bits free if you can get here tomorrow or early wednesday but wheels will need replaced so it is still mobile without a crane
Cheers

The ABS pump is bosch 34.51-1 166 155 and i have it in my hand if anyone wants it. Headlights removed and sold.
Wheel queries responded to - needs a set of crappy wheels brought at removal so i can still move it.
Cheers

Shot for selling hooky motors or shot for grassing on the sellers of hooky motors? Either way doesnt sound like great fun - what about telling the place that sold the MOT their cover will be blown if the geezer punts it on? In my experience dodgy tickets tend to be a favour on the condition the person doesn't sell the car on at least in the first 6 months. Unless it's an outfit that's churning out fakes day in day out they might be able to stop the guy from selling it. In terms of covering your ass I'd be sure to retain plausible deniability throughout

Hello
How about headlights and (most of the) wiring loom for £50 + postage?
Haven't had the chance to take detailed pics of the wheels (re: pm received) and am out the country for a week but it's #1 priority a week on Saturday when I'm back. Ideally I'd remove wheels at point a truck picks it up or put some crappy steelies on it.
Re: ABS pump say 50+ postage (assuming it's not a massive PITA to get off).
If anyone is local I can PM you location for you to remove the bits this weekend on trust basis otherwise will be a week on Saturday.
Any good recommendations for a scrappy that might want what's left?
Cheers

Dear sir
The speaker grilles on the door made of biscuit are precisely where the lanky among us give the door a wee push open with our toes whilst getting out of mk2 golf 3drs
Why did you choose rich tea rather than decent plastic/metal/anything?
Kind regards Buyer of speaker grilles in bulk

Apologies i hate it when they're left off other posts
South West London
Say £450 quid complete but come pull bits off it at your leisure and I’ll quote you a number
If anything comes off (i.e. doors, wheels etc) would make it immovable or non watertight id have to scrap it completely because it's sat outside

Hi team
Anyone want anything from a 2001 Y reg 540i Touring?
Has been left to me but haven't got time/space/money to get it running and fix the bits n bobs that would annoy me
Silver, bit tatty, black leather, last run about 3 months ago
Auto (obviously or I'd sell a kidney to fix it up)
Will get pics up at the weekend.
Anyone wants the whole thing give me a bell
Cheers

Surprised folk find them boring I found my 2001 525 m sport to be a hoot to drive, solid feel, tail happy if provoked and ran 100% even after 200k miles. I reckon they won't get cheaper than they are now, my mate has got an exceptionally shabby 540 touring he's thinking of scrapping and I'm scared to death it'll never see the road again. Whether it's retro or not... don't think so but a awesome older car with minimal gubbins to go ping and everything in the right place. Would have another in a heartbeat* If you haven't seen the trick Team Polizei e39 m5 that smashed the US coast to coast record (plus cannonball run, gumball etc) please stop what you're doing and dedicate a few hours to frenzied internetting: thermal cams to run in dark mode, driver and passenger HUD and two maniacs driving it - start here www.speedsportlife.com/2006/04/26/dubspeed-driven-exclusive-an-inside-look-at-the-team-polizei-m5/*provided that heartbeat somehow gave me money, space and time

Strange question but does it have a rev counter? Cheers
P.s. looks bargainous regardless
