Will do mate! I think it was purely just lack of use mate, first little trip this year there were a few stutters but it struggled through, and then the other 2 it ran perfectly without a fault, including 40 miles in one stretch! So just wants some decent runs out I think! Still trying to find...

Thanks Dave. I saw the list of work carried out and knew that if I was the first there it would be mine, was no way I wasn't buying it! Luckily the bank of Mum helped me until I sell the Porsche!

Thanks Scott! Jag is always tucked up, although have managed about 100 miles so far this year on some nice days! Not put it up because I'm a little embarrassed! Ended up being in a position where it had to be sold, but the garage kept using loop holes to drag it out, so I ended up having to cut...

:D As usual, a complete impulse buy car wise! Was advertised on Tuesday night, went to see it in Crewe on Wednesday night, and just got back from collecting it tonight! Absolutely love it, last time I was this excited about a car was when I got my first 2 years ago! Only downside is it's...

Yes dude, I'll do a thread now. Just drove it 60 miles home, SMG is awesome, and this has a rasp to end the world!

So I said a few days ago that I was definitely keeping the Boxster this summer and not getting an M3….but kept looking back at this thread and I've ended up buying one this evening, collecting tomorrow….damn you scutch!

Would you ever consider selling this?! Looks absolutely stunning.

Strange both you guys say that, I've heard nothing but praise for them and used them myself a couple of times and can only praise myself!

Looking good mate. If they want to do one in a Boxster let me know!

I need another one! Looks superb.

It's an interference fit mate, so get a chisel/screwdriver and hit it from the back on the slightly overhanging lip and it will pop out.

Haha, not sold on it but I flipped a coin and got the timing chain so went with that!

Diagnosis complete, engine is fooked. Not much info but they've boroscoped it and the cylinders are a right mess, cam chain issue as linked above. Audi have offered 50% but will still be cheaper for a second hand engine so think they're going that way. The good news is I won the bet with my...

I love that, big fan of 360's :) Excellent work on the cleaning too!

Interesting, and it is the theory I've got my fiver on to be honest. It was yellow light for low, not pressure apparently, first thing I asked her when she mentioned it! She was cranking it a lot so if this is the issue looks like it could be quite a bit of damage. Salvagable do we think, or new...

this got heated…! I know the garage that looked at it, and I know they are competent enough to not mess up compression test, but they aren't specialists in Audi's so weren't too confident. Heard from my boss today it's gone to another garage who are rally specialists (don't know why) but they...

Sorry mate, didn't see your first post earlier. Starter is 100% turning, seen it with my own eyes. Looking back now it was whirring much quicker, i.e no compression. Didn't think that at the time though. Cam chain is in tact from what we're told. Would all the valves be bent, hence no...

I'd like to think they've done that, or something along those lines. I'm more interested in a possible cause, assuming that they were correct and absolutely no pressure in any cylinder?

Is that a pretty standard thing to do? From what they've said theres literally no way of even getting any pressure in to hear it escaping, but I did hear second hand from my boss. But we've both got a good idea of how engines work. Just seems very strange how it was running perfectly at 8am...

I did think that, but apparently they compression tested 2 other cars to make sure their gear was fine and they came up as expected. They are a good garage to be fair so I don't think they'd be missing obvious stuff or misusing stuff. Whats one of those dude?

Right then, need some help/answers if possible. Fit girl at work has a 10 plate TT petrol Turbo on 44k and we think it's fooked. Wednesday morning she pulled up at work and it was running fine, just like normal, she comes to leave and the car won't start at all. It turns over and the starter...

Ended up buying some waterproof Weise leathers, some good boots (that I've forgotten the make of now!) and a Shoei dog dangles helmet, so spent just over £1k today…oops! Hoping it's a reasonable day tomorrow so I can get a decent first ride in. Also been clearing some proper space to store...

Yeah plate isn't to my preference either but that's all I've got at the minute, going to get another ordered as soon as I can. I'm not really using it for commuting but if it's a nice day and I'm free in the evening I might use it for work then go for a ride straight after on the way home, only...

If you've come off one I can completely understand then mate! Thanks James. I know what you mean. I guess I'm confident in my own abilities. Yeah someone could pull out on me etc, but I could get T Boned by a bus in a car and end up the same so f**k it! Just hoping for a dry weekend this week.

It's a weird one I guess, I had field bikes from about 12/13 and a few bikes on the road between 19-22, I'm 25 now so kind of grown up with them. I can understand nerves from someone who's never been on one.

I'm not a nutcase rider by any means, but it is easier than you think! Hard to explain really as you just do it rather than think about it to be honest!

I decided to get back on a bike! Few mates have done their tests now so will have some riding buddies, so spotted this last night and picked it up tonight. Absolutely love it, missed having a bike! The noise is mental, has an actuator valve linked to the throttle so it's pretty good for morning...

I think this is the one my mate bought, so should be sold!

Wouldn't have posted here if I was gonna do that dude, as Sky will probably see it anyways!

This is what I want to avoid! c***s trick that is!
