Little update on the old S3 since I have had it a year now
Was due the MOT, went in hoping for the best and wasn't too disappointed, failed on front tyres which wasn't a problem as it was the excuse I needed to replace the worn out fronts and the ditch finders on the rear. Ordered a full set of Michelin PS4's and the car is transformed, so much more confidence in it now. I've got a 4 wheel alignment booked for January so I need to get my adjustable tie bars fitted as soon as I can.
MOT also picked up a small oil leak which I think is from a power steering pipe so i'll check that out in due course.
Car thanked me yesterday but deciding to break the window regulator on the drivers window while on the motorway in torrential rain, in the dark so when I got home I had to strip the door card off and get it back up, got there in the end and I unplugged the motor so I can't accidently put it down again...a job for the new year....
Just wish I had the time and the weather for a deep clean and wax of it!
