ABS sensor done, washed, polished and de glued as wes covered in some Ghey camo wrap
To the previous about painting brake lines…comes back to bite you 
went to leave the house yesterday and brake fluid warning, puddle and a hole in the brake line (hose wasn’t too far behind)…only one I hadn’t got round to doing because it was a balls with the steel line round the engine bay, can guess where this goes lol
Yesterday and today, eventually done, full strip down job, working between a v8 and heatshields is hateful.
Ahh, there’s my brake fluid

Wife hit a rock on the road. Car coming the other way on a country road so no where to go. Hole straight through the side wall and instantly flat.
£600 for 2 new tyres
but thankfully no damage to the wheel
The tyre repair foam isn’t fixing this

How can you be botheredWent to work with the car spotless yesterday
Rained
PreClean, rinsed and dried when I got home
Rained at 8pm
Dried
Rained during the night(and I had checked the weather before hand
How can you be bothered
I know but I like my car being clean and its 20-30 mins to myself away from the chaos of 2 wee boys before bedtime
- borrowed my Dads Blo Air Dryer which is heated and much better than my dryer as it doesn't take as long and isn't as loud - water just sheets off which is greatI get the wanting to keep the car clean. I don't get being annoyed when it rains on your clean car when you live here!I know but I like my car being clean and its 20-30 mins to myself away from the chaos of 2 wee boys before bedtime

You gonna try and 'felt spec' it - lad?Collected it! The white one in the middle at the pumps BTW
It's so so sh1t, but I love it. History is just mental on it. And only 33k miles with every receipt to back this up! Having an adventure road trip home, hopefully back tomorrow night

Pointless waste of time looking at the weather forecast, they are never right.
That’s what makes me laugh about all these reports telling us what our weather is going to be like in 10 years, catch a grip of yourselves, you can’t even tell me accurately what the weather is going to be like next Tuesday FFS.

Injector out with no bother and a quick clean of the hole.....
Reconditioned injector ordered to be here on Friday (FFS) and car out of order on our week off. Love it.
TBF I'm happy enough to have got it diagnosed and out quickly enough. New fuel filter every year from I've had it too.
Checked mine for the craic, I've got a 2014 tdi A4 Black edition and they are offering terrible money at just over £4k.
Stick it up on the classifieds here you might get lucky.

Marketplace is woeful these days. Just full of scam adverts.

Gumtree is still the best for me, a lot less time wasters and still free, will try AT & marketplace if I don't get something away quickly. Used cars ni would be a last resort unless its cheap cause it's free for cheap stuff.

Autotrader is only £5 for NI. Worth a go for all the cost.

Washed it for the first time in over 2 years.
Last on the road on 31st Dec 21 and lost my indoor storage so it's been sitting out and forgot about since then. Was in an awful state and greener than my front lawn. Paint is peeling in quite a lot of places and bits of surface rust starting from stone chips on the roof. Truth be told it's in need of a bare metal respray. I want to take it to Germany and do a track day on the Nürburgring but can't any point in painting it before then and that ain't happening this year either. Time to just enjoy it, I guess, and just drive it on without worrying too much about babying it too much.
