Just drove it back from dinner. It’s awesome again.

Dinner? Your a Yorkshireman. It’s bloody tea, you know this.

Tea is a drink. Bloody northerners.

I imported a Mrs from the south and if I say tea she thinks I mean high tea...

 

[Waitey]

Change her dont change yourself

My mrs hated the word c**t when she met me... then realised how much of a superc**t I am and just adopted it

Edited by a mod because by some miracle, SuperC**t gets through the swear filter

Did they not have P16 CUM?

 

[Scrooge]

He would’ve lapped that right up

[charltjr]

Actually for sale on DVLA.

 

[Waitey]

On of our competitors owns that. Used to be on a Passat, now its on a Toyota I think.

 

[AdDaMan]

It looks so good!! Seriously making me want one.

 

[Craig]

Glad you've got it back what a Carry on that was lol. Very entertaining. It looks awesome.

 

[Touring_Rob]

Congrats!

So what did they actually do? Have you got a breakdown?

 

[Flat Eric]

It looks so good!! Seriously making me want one.

Just get a std 335d

 

[Waitey]

Plate and new Alpina decal on.

 

[leeds2592]

Them numberplate screws....

 

[Aaron..]

Looks absolutely lovely tbh. The rattle still there though?

 

[Waitey]

Real men screw.

Guys who scissor other dudes stick.

 

[Cookson]

A real man would have put a white screw cap on that 6 to make it look more like a G

 

[Flat Eric]

Needs black grills

 

[Aaron..]

Needs painted mop handles

Agree.

 

[Waitey]

All the 2’s

 

[Short Legs]

Just run in then

 

[RoastedCheese]

Love this Steve! Also looks amazing!

Weird warranty chat, I know you got a lot out of it, but essentially the bigger risk is with newly fitted stuff niot the older thing, when you strip and rebuild and engine, more can go wrong with a technician's work than if it's done 100k! or 200k in your case. Does that make sense?

What happens when the boost pipe loosens after another 500 miles? Or a water pipe? f**k off and don't phone us? Seems unfair?

Anyway! Enjoy it whilst it's new! Love the plate, is PIGDNA on the Rangie?

 

[Flat Eric]

Love those blue dials!

 

[Christopher]

Love it! Glad to see it back. LOL at the plate too.

 

[Paul.M]

I went past a black b3 parked up in the peak district with its hazards on yesterday and got flash backs to this thread .

Glad it's back and sorted!

 

[Waitey]

500 miles in and so far so good.

Just ordered some LCI adaptive dampers for the rear. After a bit of research it turns out they are valved slightly differently so, hopefully that'll sort the float I'm getting from the 200k+ dampers that are on the rear currently.

Fitted a carplay interface box thing, but its terrible so that'll be getting sold and I'll probs have to for the full 2019 nav retrofit.

I'm sure it was some time in 2016 when the nav units started supporting Carplay if that helps.

Do you just figure it out or do you have access to fitting manuals for bits like the dash and nav?

Yeah 2016 on for Carplay support. 2018 on for the 10" screen.

Tbh I whipped the dash apart at the weekend following a 3min youtube vid. All you need are some trim tools and torx bits.

I'm going to tackle mine one of these days, took it on a 1200 mile trip North and the different rattles that appear then disappear is just laughable. It needs taking apart and all touching parts just need a bit of felt tape adding (I think!)...

I did the same on mine using some felt. After I took the trims off there was a squeak that I could never trace!

Do you mean you made it worse by taking it apart?

 

[Christopher]

Do you mean you made it worse by taking it apart?

Yeah - I had to take it apart again and add something to space the trim out. Tried paper at first then got some craft felt which worked a treat.

Bavarian quality!

I mean it could be worse, you could have bought an M2 comp that been put together on a Friday like @Jason_E did.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

Oh also @Waitey the PIG plate is lost on me, I feel like I'm being more of a r****d than normal.
