Hardly ever have music on. Love to listen to the v8. To me that’s all the music I need.
Ps still cannot get over the pedal box fix.
What a transformation.
Best tip ever.

Re: Suspension ride height
Also while fixing the cable ties I found a aftermarket alarm system that I didn’t know I had. And a small on off rocker switch. Need to find out what this is for.
Typical Rs6 behaviour. Solve 1 problem and find 2 others.

Re: Suspension ride height
Car booked in at Neston for 06/07/21 for the two oil leaks.
Spoke to grizz about the pedal box fix.
Original bushes are plastic.
Repair was to use p b bushes.
Will see if I can get some bushes manufactured.
Apparently there is a long bolt that goes through the shaft which can be a pain to remove.
The factory lock tight it in.

Re: Suspension ride height
When you remove your shaft, make sure you sufficiently polish it. Give it a liberal lubing then slam it back into your new tight Poosey Bush.steve2003rs6 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 23, 2021 2:23 pmCar booked in at Neston for 06/07/21 for the two oil leaks.

Re: Suspension ride height

The drive is amazing. I just keep jumping in the car and going for a drive. It is that good that I just keep on going.
My fuel bill has quadrupled though.
Enquired about buying a second hand pedal box assy
So that we can make bushes
See if anything comes of it.

Re: Suspension ride height
Hi Riggs. Spot on mate. Wouldn’t have expected the pedal box to be my problem.
20 min job and the cost of 5 cable ties and the end result is totally unbelievable.
However it has cost me £200 in fuel since the fix. As I just keep jumping in the car and going for a drive

Re: Suspension ride height
Sorry to keep harping on about the pedal box fix.
For a 18 yo car i find it astonishing that it now drives like new.
I was always in love with this car. But now cannot keep out of her. Amazing. Best tip ever and cost less than a quid.
Just thank you to those involved.
