phase 1 car purchase made - 2.7 T allroad tip with 68k and full recaros :rock:
picked up my new allroad last weekend, she has been into Grizz for a check and a few things to sort but pressure tested nice and tight.
Cheers to Unit 20 for sorting out the areas prior to my road trip
moved home and found these in my shed - full set of fronts and rears
they had covered 72k when I took them off
collection only from near warrington as they are heavy!
they will be going in the skip if no-one wants them
thinking it is time to move the old girl on
thinking she is worth approx £800 to £1250 - right ball park?

full black...

Went to see this one in Wakefield
not in great condition at all

guys had clanged it over christmas...
My turbo has gone, suspect the wastegate is screwed / stuck open as I have no boost - have changed out the DV, N75, pressure tested and MAF - still down on power by approx 30bhp i.e. feels like a normal NA 1.8
Can I change it out in situ? if so how long do you reckon?
Had the headlight...
finally decided to get round to pulling out the instrument cluster to change the bulbs that had gone on my 1996 A4 T Sport
tools needed

6mm socket for the bulb removal and refit
use this guide to help...
time has come to move up the housing ladder a bit so the car is up for sale...

drove 2.5 hrs to see them, the seller said they were is great condition when I asked to see better...
looking at an allroad for the old man has anyone had one of these? if so what did you think of it? anything to watch out for?
looking at either a late C5 chassis 2.5tdi tip or upto a C6 chassis with the 3.0tdi - both with all the toys
the specs look good and the C5 seem really good vfm...

I have a hole in the lens of the passenger headlamp, have sourced a replacement unit but can I access the screws to pop her out? no.
top 2 torx are fine, then I have access problems as the indicator is blocking - does this indicator slide out or is it fastened some...
