    S-Power Arrows Photography PhotoShoot #2!

    Matt black would probably be ok but id keep away from thick coats of paint or gloss finish, it insulates or won't catch incomming air so well.

    Wanted - Rear shock for 96 1.8 N/A SE avant

    My experience they never seem to last very long, are they meant to be used with oil/heat/grease? In past redone couple of cars that had them fitted with metal ties! Not one of those jobs I like doing that often.

    Wanted - Rear shock for 96 1.8 N/A SE avant

    Ok better stick with SE model I think. Front spring was an **** of a job to sort because pinch bolts seized, still unable to budge it, don't know what I'll do if any of the arm need replacing? Whilst I was messin about found out garage that did the flexi CV boot, used cable ties to fix boot on...

    Has this car been clocked?

    I would have thought the police or trading standards? If dieselfitter knows its the same guys and its a private sale, the offence breaks the Theft Act 1968. If their trade its the Trade Descriptions Act 1968.

    Has this car been clocked?

    Only contact numbers are mobiles is a good start. If it was dieselfitters mota, and its not a typo, I'd shop these guy/s no question. Last MOT should raise a few questions I would have thought?

    Top mounts, What apig of a job!!

    Don't think they did, most how2s I've read all seem to have bolts you attach a socket or spanner to, mines got a splined head bolt thats badly rusted, the head disintegrates when you use a spline bit or try an mole grip the head. Not 100% but I think they removed the drive shaft from gearbox...

    Top mounts, What apig of a job!!

    CV boots done, they couldn't get pinch bolt to budge, an drive shaft was seized in hub, so they've fitted a flexible type of CV boot instead of the audi one I'd bought. Cost £70 inc vat. Have to invest in a heat gun, prefer to do work myself if I can!

    CV boot split on mine, had to accept defeat on O/S top bolt after wearing skin off knuckles an nearly knockin myself out with an adjustable. Someone else's problem now, took it to local workshop today, face's dropped when I told them what issue was, think bill will probably reflect joys of...

    Audis in the Park! Sunday 9th August 2009

    Had a great time at the show, excellent weather an plenty of decent motors. The campsite could've be better, wisksteed maintenance/general upkeep of facilities we used was lacking, normally have a stong stomock for it, but I nearly threw my guts up in a couple of those porta loo's :puke...
