Almost forgot fitted new battery cleaned scuttle panel out and removed bungs, that all went well so must have done something wrong !!

Ricky might sound obvious to you but to me (as he looks at the ceiling) ok never even entered my mind so thanks for that enlightenment appreciated will try tomorrow night. Looking at the adjusters I thought exactly the same but surprised how much they do lift the bumper, so maybe you were just...

Just hopin I don’t have to practice too much !!

Think that’s the only way now with regards the mot. Lucky mines underneath so not so much of a job as some

Steep learning curve for me this weekend !! Bumper off to fit new grill what a pain, but becomes very easy when you’ve had it on and off as many times as I have. Firstly foolishly I never took any pics before I started to remind myself of the gap between bonnet and grille. Became obsessed that’s...

Dpf is visible to tester it’s underneath would gut from top side, only reason I would use gutted dpf as opposed to straight pipe is accident/ insurance so as at least theirs a chance it looks legal. I would use a good dpf for mot so tester viewing wouldn’t be an issue. Understand dpf delete...

I’m in a bit of a dilemma with what to do about my exhaust. Car is going to be mapped by Rick at Unicorn first week in feb. So would like to have it sorted before so as not having to have it done twice and throwing good money away. Firstly my driving. I do quite a lot of short journeys (hence...

It’s around 30yrs !! since I have modified a car in the way I have this b7, normally it was buy, map it job done. So am curious as to how you all deal with the insurance side of things and notifying them or if you do. My thoughts of insurance company’s nowadays are if they can find away to say “...

It sounds like your even more frustrated than me !! Quite rightly so though. If I’m reading correctly you ordered skf shafts @£350 and they have despatched stark ones which are £200 with no email to ask if this is agreeable or refund of the difference in cost. I shall be writing a very stern...

Rob I would be interested to hear what the card co say. I paid with PayPal. Have just had a quick browse through their t&c’s it states despatch within 4-5 working days if goods in stock which both ours were. Delivery 4-5 working days so by my calculations weekends, bank holidays we should both...

Thinking I should cancel these now and ask for a refund. Don’t suppose you were given a reason why they were stuck in transit and a delivery date wasn’t possible.

Rob GLS are a German delivery company very much like DPD here although there tracking system is not as good as DPD’s. When Autodoc finally !! Send your drive shafts they send an email notifying you and a tracking no for GLS. Problem is all it tells me is they picked my goods up Friday then nothin !!

Talking of springs and shocks below is a copy of an email I sent to bilstein uk technical yesterday and the reply I recd. Might not be of much interest as mines a cab and so not the same shocks as a saloon or avant but can’t see why they would be different though. Good morning I am hoping that...

Same for me. Ordered my springs and rear shocks from them on the 28th, in stock finally left on Friday after a considerable amount of emails. A good price is no use if you don’t get the bits. Will never use again customer services useless just read everything from a text book

Alex Lots and lots of wd40 or other before, as the plastic coating bonds to the union. So need to tighten/undo a little at a time so your sure it’s free. Not trying to tell a granny etc just I learnt the hard way when doing mine. Did the wd bit and union turned following day so I just cracked...

Been like Christmas Day again for me today collected this and my new rarb from TPS. Got to say as nice as it is feel foolish paying what I have as it’s just a bit of plastic probably 5 quid to them but they make the front end look so good. Down side sat here with wire wool tying to get a key on...

Any one ever change offside rear brake pipe on a quattro ? When I replaced flexi hoses with braided there was a part where the plastic coating had gone on the offside rear. I know it probably won’t go through mot and splicing in on the car with steel pies is a no no. Couldn’t have been a worse...

Thanks tr7. Got the grille for 415 plus vat but booked to work so I won’t pay the vat. Happy days

Arb !!

Rob That’s an impressive list to say the least. I hear what your saying but it won’t change my mind. I was 30 when I drove my first Porsche, my old boss had a 911 turbo and I got to drive it occasionally. After that first drive always said I’m gonna have one these, so unless the rs4 avant...
