Ben oh Ben sm6

Unless you changed every other component you were running a 24 yr S3,which admittedly had a new chassis due to tin worm eating the original.

Take it on the chin,buy a Jeep and prosper :lol:

You'll thank me later.

Ah,now I see what you mean-smething that works would be souless to a landy man-he prefers to be dripping in fluid and carrying his tool chest with him at all times,just in case like.

Diesels don't count,they're just for tight wad Yorkshiremen :lol:

Try a 4 ltr with all the toys-that auto box is mint for tea drinking in rush hour traffic :wink:
They don't call 'em Just Emptys Every Pocket for no reason :?
Good luck with the test and watch out for the VOSA man they have a habit of having ya everytime they see ya.
I knew the man from Durham quite well in the end.

well it failed, miserably, nothing major, just lots of little jobs. the fail sheet was that long it went onto 2 pages.

ill be returning to the fold tomorrow if she passes! fingers crossed even more!

funny thing is, it didnt fail on what the vosa guy was saying.
