Oh don't worry most of mine were saved from the scrap yard.
Going to part out an MR2 soon as its not worth fixing.
Still in years to come, even non-mint cars will rise in value

Same with a few generations of RS6 although there are a few companies have "developed" a way to work on them without having to remove them .... still the guts of a few £k though...

doesnt need to come completely out but the engine needs dropped at least 6 or 7 inches as far as im aware even at that its akward, im guessing its quicker for audi to do it that way, reciept for timing belt done was around £500 that needs done every 35k

Mot'd and sold. Needed more for MOT than I had anticipated but its away.
Didn't actually want to sell it but, the two people (friends) who I had lined up for it turned up their nose at it so I sent it up the road
Sorry for the slight misdirection of the thread George.
On topic, timing belts are something that I have yet to tackle but the thought of doing a timing belt on a V8 would put the fear in me!

I definitely wouldn't be getting rid of it for a r32.
From receipts etc it looks like it was maintained regardless of cost. I'd be keeping it for another while yet. Says the plank who still hasn't the S3 on the road lol. MOT Friday tho..

Plugged it in too, just for a nosey no gearbox faults stored or pending ever I'm maybe being a tad rash if I deal il be lookin top money then replace it with an avant at some point I know people have said they are nicer in saloon but avant is so much nicer in my opinion, unless there's someone on here with an avant that fancies a deal lol
