  1. call me now mate, i think i have an idea of what you have bought.
  2. If in the future anyone is having trouble getting hold of Lee please don't hesitate to drop me a PM and i will chase him on whatever is required. and as for the mention of beer. fancy one after work tomorrow Lee, missed you today as i had football
  3. Thanks Ricey. Lexx I was there on business, just though it would be rude to go in works Kangoo and not take the 350 over. Will need to pop back in the morning Toby but won't bring the 350 back until she is clean.
  4. you mean like on saturday morning. first day i got her back and drove her to work Fear not, i was only getting milk. Good to meet you today.
  5. thanks. have to admit I am chuffed it does. was an expensive risk to take
  6. she looks so much better in the flesh, she needs a good wash atm like. few little things need doing still and then i will get a load more pics up
  7. was indeed me tis a uk gt but with a chargespeed kit which has the jdm plate. photos on Falcon Performance facebook with a load more to come soon. heres one for now, this was before the audio install was done and the interior built back up... full build thread coming soon
  8. yr but, i dont even earn £60 a day and i cant pay 150 like that :Pill drive it without the trim haha any photos of the damage? you may be able to get it repaired
  9. I sent this item out for Lee a while back when i was trying to help him with his forum stuff. It was sent first class but unrecorded as the part was not of the highest value. It is a shame that it did not arrive and i am sure Lee will, if he hasnt already make a refund on the item. Lee is hard to get hold of as he works ridiculous hours and is rarely off the phone with work related calls. Since i have started working for Falcon i can see what he always meant about it being non stop. The garage is the best in the north east and run to a very high standard by Lee's brothers, Steve and Dane. Falcon engineering is also insanely business at the other office (where Lee works) and even i struggle to get hold of him when i need to sort work related things with him.

    *sigh*

    You didnt put the spacers on upside down did you?
  11. i think i saw this in a magazine. a lot more than 24k has gone into that car for sure
  12. if a garage uses customer supplied parts the garage has no liability for the parts. if there is a fault and it turns out to be a fitment issue then yes, the garage is responsible, but if it's part failure then no.
  13. well, she goes up and down the drive, just. think i may have to lift her a little but going to run her for a few weeks first then decide. currently getting the audio install done and it's looking great. also bump for falcon facebook. check out the "Best Beetle of Show" at BugJam 25 on the homepage. Its an absolute thing of beauty and was a pleasure to work on.
  14. sweet vid man, liked that a lot looks like such good fun!!!
  15. sneak it in before midnight... Happy birthday.
  16. Do you have room for a fat lad yes mate i will do. will sort it out with you. you might have to help getting any flies off the front of the zed when we get there as payment though
  17. I will be able to make the sunday. In fact i might drive down on the saturday after work and camp. I will see how the forecast is looking nearer the time.
  18. Its literally dead when it goes mate - accelerator does nada - you can deck it to the floor and it won't do anything - its as if you've taken your foot fully off the pedal when it goes. hmmmm, not good. with my very limited mechanical knowledge i cant really be of any assistance, but i will ask the lads at work tomorrow and text you with any ideas. think you may have to take it somewhere to be looked at though. maybe a trip to visit the sunny north east and have falcon look at it for you. Casa Bowey always open to friends
  19. could be a fueling issue. do you get any noises, like a knocking sound if you try to gently rev it when the power is dropping? have you tried planting your foot to see if you can power through it.
  20. as i am now working for Falcon and have had a lot of work done on my car there i feel it would be rude not to try and get more people to check out the facebook page. so..... oh yeah, and heres the link again to save anyone reading the whole thread if they have skipped to the end https://www.facebook.com/pages/FALCON-P ... 9876370504 i will be doing a build thread on the forum when i get everything on the car finished and have sorted through all the photos i have. so may be a while yet
  21. get it down to Falcon in boro, they do a full 120 point health check on every vehicle they have in and you get a free valet pm'd you the number
  22. looking good. I love dusk photos
  23. will that file nt be in with cookies or internet files? if you can find it swap out the code and don't delete the cookies amd it should work
  24. oh yeah, sorry dude, wont be able to meet you on the way up tomorrow.
