What did you do to your Polo today?

Have you uploaded them to a site such as photobucket.com or flickr.com? They need to be uploaded to a server, then you just grab the link and post it here!

Yeah, I just tried clicking 'Insert image', then pasting the photobucket URL but when I preview my post, it just shows the link rather than the image itself.

Make sure the link you are posting is the link to the piture, not to the photobucket site.

It should end in .jpg

Yep it does..

Once you've inserted the image and click 'Preview Post' it should show the image right?

It should yes.
When you upload the image to the hosting site, copy the link with the .jpg tag at the end and post it between the [img] [/img] tags on here and it should show up.

make sure its a jpeg image your trying to link to, not a html pic etc.

then the text should be:



however, see in the above string wher i've bolded the 2 $$ signs. just delete those. make sure there are no spaces etc, and make sure the address isnt underlined when you are posting it.

If you want to test it, just copy any paste my above text into a reply window, delete the 2 $$ and see if you get a picture posted.

(if it doesnt, give up and consider suicide!! LOL )

Went for a bit of a fang up to Cairns for the weekend...Had a good chance to open it up a bit, but the rain and standing water left things a little bit treacherous in some places....

Fitted my ebay diverter valve. I'm actually very impressed with the quality and price (ended up costing just under $70 brand new from an Aus seller).

No more boost leaks, it fits perfectly, and looks stock as well. Can't really ask for more than that.

What brand did you get ?

Well the box was labelled 'Max Power' which I had a good chuckle at.

The storefront is called 'Performance Car Parts Australia' and this is the exact valve used:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170443925446

The part is essentially a Forge copy, not quite as solid as a genuine Forge item but still well made, much better than the stock valve, and around 1/3 the price of a genuine Forge item.

Looks ok, as long as the seals dont cr@p out after a week.

What are the different springs rated to?

I re-checked the seals after four days use and they look perfect still. I'll keep an eye on them.

Springs are 5-15psi, 15-23psi, 23-30psi (so first three springs of the equivalent Forge kit)

Installed the Pioneer F900BT on Sunday. Was really impressed with the adapters that I bought from liquidice on ebay, factory fit on them. The DIN facia I had the same problem as everyone else, the unit sits a little bit out and then the facia has to sit 2mm out. Has anyone found a way to fix that? I was thinking of cutting the inside surround a little to hopefully get a flatter fit?

Also managed to break the cup holder went in, and doesn't come back out anymore has anyone managed to fix this without a trip to the dealer?

Installed OEM VW Sharan Aerial from Ebay.

Sits a little proud of the base, i'll find a small rubber washer to fill the gap.

reception seems fine and looks good. Makes the stock aerial look massive.
