Wheels look MUCH nicer Rob. Almost as if they're designed for the car  >:D

Too much acceleration!
Or schoolboy error in lid placement.

Always a new thing to fix! Now I have petrol leaking out of the cap. New filler cap seal on order. Also called into the local Audi dealer to see what they can find me as a replacement as on close inspection it seems to be leaking though the lock!




Ahh clean at last.

Time for a massive photo flood from recent adventures along the Forgotten World Highway to Ohakune for Wookies in the Wild.

Recent challenges - broken door handle. And a clamp was scraping on the gravel, easily rotated :)

Surely it?s possible to do an oil change without wearing half of the oil.
142,100 miles for when I forget the mileage for next oil change.

Some recent pics











Gear shifter bushing finally arrived, and what a difference! It had got so bad that third and first were about in the same place.

Investigating where the oil leak was coming from. It?s not oil it?s power steering fluid leaking from the pump. Also adjusted the right headlight as it wasn?t sitting right.

Its bloody good to see not only you have done this car up, but you actually drive it!

Nothing worse then seeing something like this wrapped in cotton wool/not used!

Power steering pump rebuild kit arrived from Pelican Parts, hopefully I got the correct one. Pump is out, had to break out the big bar, the banjo bolts were done up to FT. I?m going to take the pump to a specialist after reading how it?s done

At least I now have my new sensible daily driver to use.

Power steering pump is back in, my car did not appreciate being outside for a week in the rain. Pond in the boot, rodent droppings in the engine bay and the start of a mouse nest in the boot!! Sigh countryside living things!
