After the recent work on the car I still had a few new parts that needed fitting. It had a knock from the front that I thought would be the top mount and if I was doing those I may as well fit new dampers too. So last week I jacked the passenger side up and started undoing things. A guide on...
The dephaser isn't as consumable on the mk3 as the mk2 ones apparently so I let Mick judge if it was necessary or not.
My mot man had a look while under it and said it was all connected. Such is my luck.
The belts are a grand these days. Makes me laugh when people ask on FB and get told "I paid £500 for mine doing". Yeah 5 years ago maybe 😂. Considering the work carried out I was very happy with the price and can't fault Mick's work either.
Yeah it looks dirty in dull light but when the sun's...
🤣🤣🤣 The trophy looks good mate and your latest issue was mental!

I spotted a classic Impreza today. I say spotted he was overtaking an aygo into oncoming traffic (me) with a new M4 right up his arse. The bmw was that close to me my car shook as he passed. f**king pair of gimps deserve to be wrapped up together.
