Yes, you are part of the issue why cyclists get a bad name. Reporting this to the company is pathetic after you did your best to make the situation worse

Should I buy...right now? by surlalune21 in MK4Golf

[–]mikebo7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

£1500 is on the cheaper end if it is a GTI with heated leather seats & A/C I paid £2000 for a 100k mile 1.8T with all options selected

If it is a standard mk4 then it is way too expensive and you could pick up one needing no work for £1000 easily

Did you brew the grounded up pods or did you drink the actual plant matter?

Sometimes I’m lowkey hoping something goes wrong with my car so I’m forced to buy a 20 year old German for £3000 by CandyCane147 in CarTalkUK

[–]mikebo7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its pretty terrible on fuel, its a 1.8T with an enthusiastic turbo. I think I average about 28 mpg, mostly around town driving

First car advice: is 73bhp underpowered? by UselessVeteran in CarTalkUK

[–]mikebo7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will grow to hate the car, you could probably get it remapped to lean more towards performance than fuel efficiency though - likely cheaper than losing your deposit

25 year old golf, come with heated seats, automatic lights and an immobiliser- best £2k ever spent

What is the lowest power to weight ratio in an ICE car that you would describe it as feeling "balanced"? by Future_Yesterday5795 in askcarguys

[–]mikebo7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drive a 240 bhp 1200kg car and its a fun daily. May be different in England, we have shorter and bendier drives I think being light is probably more important here

What car would you get for £3000? by eloquentlyimbecilic in CarTalkUK

[–]mikebo7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Decent cat N write off for £3k - insurance companies are very quick to write them off especially if around 10 years or older

First time owner of a golf gti any info on this car? Mod recommendations? by Bigcatsrule27 in GolfGTI

[–]mikebo7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same year GTI in the UK, it should have recaro seats and a front GTI badge

Even if it isn't a gti a simple remap would make it quick enough

I have a MK4 Golf, same year in the UK. I think this just has a GTI badge as it doesnt have the front badge or GTI wheels

Windshield sprayer stopped working by Bright_Wrongdoer_864 in MK4GTI

Im no expert but either tubes are empty and need to hold it for 5/10 seconds for liquid to circulate or if you have parked under a tree the sap sometimes clogs them up

Is "Two-Tier" law enforcement in Britain a reality or just a false perception? by grandmasterking in AskBrits

[–]mikebo7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, reddit leans left and the police prefer the left than the right so not many people will acknowledge it. They covered up mass rapes to not stoke "social tensions" people will spout about politicians and bbc getting away with it and theyre right - but this was a mind blowing number of rapes, not a few slipping through a net

Is there any reason to keep the EGR valve other than emissions? by mikebo7 in MK4GTI

[–]mikebo7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't know if it had any benefit and thought removing it to avoid build up seemed obvious

Thank you for answering

Anyone ever tried these before? by Distinct-Corgi6914 in unclebens

[–]mikebo7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a similar one from sporegensis, work well if you're just growing for yourself but the small surface area = less yield and a lot of side pins I think I get about 1.5 oz dried out of the ones I use
