    Problems to see the pictures in the topics

    All the pictures went off line when PhotoBucket, who host many of the pictures on this and many other forums, changed the way they operate. I have some of the topics you're interested in as PDFs, but can only send them to you by email. Private message me an email address and I'll let you have...

    headlight xenon lens cracked?

    Uploading pictures?

    It's still early days but for the last couple of months I've been playing with https://picload.org/ I can't say how reliable they will be long term, or how their bandwidth limiting comes into play, but so far it seems to work. My advice would be keep local copies of anything you think might be...

    Rear Brake Caliper Piston

    I have a DIY for the job on a tourer rear calliper. Still on here, but now devoid of photos :-( Different to yours, but might give you the odd pointer. PM me an email address and I'll send it on if you want it.

    Looking for a new car, possibly between Passat and 8th gen Accord, need help to decide

    All modern diesels have DPFs and none that I'm aware of are without problems. If you do above average mileage and do decent stretches of fast A road / motorway that will allow the DPF to take care of itself you shouldn't discount one. If you're lower mileage or mostly start stop maybe stick to...

    Diesel Fuel filter drain plug

    This is the filter with the top sawn off and the element removed (just to see what it looked like). The water drain is the black bit on the end. This is a genuine Bosch filter. A non-genuine filter I had was similar but the knob what white and wavy. Same location, same idea.

    Tourer Rear Brakes Sticking

    Seeing as it's a nice evening I've just slid under and had a look (don't ***ume I've nothing better to do on a nice evening, but you got me wondering) Also Nissin! I thought the split of brand was about tourer / saloon (handbrake and not) as much as engine type? On the seconds point; I only...

    Tourer Rear Brakes Sticking

    My 7th Gen diesel tourer rears were Nissin. I post this mainly to test out picload's hosting service now that Photobucket has spoiled everyone's fun.

    20 months ban for this ?

    Seems a bit harsh. Neither party appeared to be unwilling on the otherwise empty street. Boys will be boys...

    Horses for courses?

    Don't know if the Daily Record is a reliable source of quality journalism or not, but there's probably a valid lesson in matching your fuel type to your type of driving. Oh, and doing a bit of research before blowing £33 grand :unsure...

    2.2 i-dtec mpg

    I get slightly more from my 8th gen (the 50+ quoted above, actually it's closer to 53) compared to my 7th (I don't have the figures to hand, but my retentive post about 7th ownership is around somewhere) but I put the difference down to the extra gear in the 8th (5 speed 7th gen) rather than the...

    Bumper clips

    There are 3 types on my facelift bumper, the longer ones need to grip three thicknesses of panels. The shorter two seem more or less interchangeable. I have an excellent picture which is very difficult to share with you :-(...

    2.2 i-dtec mpg

    if you're as careful as edgeoftime you might only get 40 ;) . If you're as careful as me you'll get 50+ (averaged over 35000 miles of ownership with the odometer and forecourt receipts)

    End of a free ride?

    I don't know much about how forums work under the bonnet, nor what powers admins have, but could this (with the image host's cooperation) work? Forum admins run a script to modify all embedded (Photobucket) images in all posts to replace the <IMG> tags with <URL> tags making the image a...
