That's why I did the chains on mine rather than breaking it. Yes it cost a fair chunk, but like you say, decent ones are on the up for that reason. I know a few breakers and they are pulling TTs to bits like no tomorrow

Pretty sure you can only do that on the LCi models, no?

TT prices are all over the place at the moment, mainly because there are some minters, and some utter dogs about. I test drove a few before I bought mine. Knowing you @Ant1 and the way you like to hoard classics, I'd say look for either a QS, or a manual V6

Yeah, was dropped 40mm on some springs only. Drove nice.

Jesus. That went quick. Not suprised at that price though

Sparkling graphite is a lovely colour once polished up. I miss my E91. Get some bumper splitters and some M359 wheels

You've bought some utter cod piece cars in the past, but f**k me this takes the biscuit. When's it getting lowered?

Decat the fucker

Is all it needs is bodywork? Any other issues? How much are you asking? @terryc101

Is the full exhaust stock @Ant1 ?

This is going to be good. So what lump are you intending for this one if you didn't gel with the 225?

f**k me, that's an unlucky car

May as well but the disa flap repair kit whilst youre there @Sir_Dave from i8automotove in sheffield

Looks like a good base to start with. Any reason you've pulled the head off it though rather than just putting a new belt on?

Ooooof, you need to get that angels tape onto MP3 so you can share it

Very strange situation lol

The alignment on that iceburg front bumper is sending my OCD into space

Can anyone help. My phone installed an update lastnight and, since then, my Waze and Googlemaps is not getting a GPS signal. I had this happen a few months back and, from what I can remember, I toggled the wifi on and off, turned location on and off. Nothing. I've even deleted the app...

I used to love those things, but the F355 just pips them to my "favourite obtainable Ferrari"

That was in the TIDL thread. I was just updating the actual car thread.

So, car is still at the garage. Got it all back together, warmed up, test run, ran fine. Great. Mechanic brought it back and, 2 streets away from home, starts caughing and spluttering and basically having a paddy. This was a friday eve at 6pm. I took the keys, threw them in the drawer and went...

Old roller in the petrol station this morning.

That yellow one though, ooofft

The parts are fairly cheap, think the chain kit and clutch came to around £300, but then the DMF was inspected and, whilst there was only minimal play, while its all apart, that's going to be done too. It's the labour which kills this job. Good job my mechanic is a very good pal of mine and we...

Sooooo, engine out. Pretty much every guide and tensioner was broken or cracked. Took a fair while to get it all timed up because auto-data doesn't clarify which point on the VVT housing is the actual timing marks FFS. It should be going back in today.

So much nicer

Do these have the clutch delay valve?

Gotta love a clean Monaco

But..... but it's.... well..... it's not a "proper" T5

Well, driving to the dogs home on sunday, this happened. Timing chain seems to have finally stretched. I scanned it on VCDS and got no reading for the intake cam (which suggests over -11) and -10 for exhaust cam. b****cks. It was still running, but lumpy as f**k on idle. Well, it's been...
