Bad news that mate.

I was gardening all weekend too! I also did the B&Q thing (without engine steam), I opened all windows, sunroof and 'zoorst valves, fucken comical. Had a massive 'discussion' with lady_bam when I got home, said she could hear the car for like 7-8 minutes to B&Q, then swears see could hear it all the way back. It'd be lucky to be an 8min journey each way.

What do u mean Ian? It was an auction, luck of the draw, already comms'd with the seller and seems like a really nice chap

AMar- decided to keep him and pimp him up. Have secured the buckets and rotors. Race against time to get them delivered from Germany and fit, will try!

Quicksilver is staying for Germany trip! That's ASBO's swansong

Sonny - yup glad it went now

Audi have had it in the workshop today and found a split coolant tank! Part ordered and hoping to fit tomorrow!

Have to say, fantastic service from Chingford Audi
