Watched a few of your videos yesterday Mark and i like your approach. Keep it up :)

@Big_Steve_T be careful with the power steering pumps, the tolerance for the pulley is about 1mm! I had a bit of a battle in the past! If you can, go electric power steering if not you may need tools to adjust the pulley. When i took it to Engine Dynamics they said it was out of spec and i sent...

Looks like a virgin router 😂 At least they have been bold with the design.

Already running 260/270

Good trick for battle.net/pc users that seems to have sorted mine out. Whilst its downloading open the settings, go to bandwidth change latest updates to 300 then click done. Pause the download and wait 3/4 seconds then resume, go back into settings and set it back to 0 and your done. My speed...

I don't know is the answer to that, i can't think of a good justification. Just tempted by a more modern car.

No idea tbh, i still have a room full of parts so i could either sell with all the parts for new owner or have it all fitted at my expense, but not sure if it would be worth it? I guess a car with basically a new DSG with warranty, cam belt, new suspension, brakes, tyres and all the little jobs...

@Cookson btw lol

Got it to go up a bit you have to change the patch limit in the settings changed it to 0 now and im getting 2MB woo

Lol for some reason my Battlenet downloads in KB so im at 300KB woooo

True but i guess you get an older car and spend on repairs or you spend more buying newer car with warranty lol

Might end up selling this if there is any interest. Might just get a car that's a few years old and more modern.

Beaniesport has a Twingo with a 200 engine, when i drove it the gearbox was fucked but its a very raw and fun car lets put it that way.

What do you mean by settings? Alignment? Just standard I reckon.

Yer it would bug me if I left it. You spend the majority of time inside so might as well make it nice so I'm glad I sorted it, the dsg surround is a pain tho as you have to buy the whole thing including the gear knob so may look at plastidip or something.

Finally got around to replacing the trim on the drivers side. What a b*****d plastic soldering the new bracket in....

I only found this out after I ordered my springs and I think I have ordered the right ones haha

I just checked all the part numbers and seems ok so fingers crossed it will be alright.

The motherload of parts has arrived now!

Good man! You wont regret it. Would of liked to go for the VWR shock and spring kit myself but didnt want to keep adding to the cost of parts. I'm sure standard setup is fine for the roads.

Yer that doesnt look right to me, Eibach do two sets one for dsg and one for manual so maybe that's what's happened here not sure. Either way you need to change it.

@imprezaworks how do you know its wrong? It could be right and the others on your car are wrong? Apex are ok, they are just a but budget. H&R, Eibach and VWR would be my preferred choices

That's weird because the when I looked on autodoc and the link you sent the part number matched so did they send you the wrong one?

@imprezaworks autodoc mate, they are so much cheaper that euros and almost any other place when it comes to parts. You might get trade discount tho so I cant comment on those prices.

Love a W124 and this is even better! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1990-MERCEDES-W124-BRABUS-3-6-Q3T/283890001871?hash=item421929a7cf:g:ze8AAOSwl-teaRJf

Looks like the right spring, price is high tho.... https://www.autodoc.co.uk/kyb/833473 Its £31 on their site.

Haha you are complaining about a ball joint? I just spent 2k on the gearbox plus another 700ish in parts haha. The springs were about 120/130 so nice and cheap. The car already has lowering springs on it but no idea on brand (they are yellow) or condition. If they are decent you can have them...

Springs arrive today, should get the rest of the order in the next few days hopefully.

My little temp setup, waiting for a bigger desk and drawers but for now it does the job nicely. Have the xbox, switch, pc all hooked up and the soundbar so it makes a good chill/movie/gaming/office area.

Passenger side all sorted now, sadly couldn't remove the bracket on drivers side as its plastic welded so need to get a soldering iron.
