Tyres went on the rear. Came out of wheels in motion and went sideways around the first roundabout.  :signLOL:

I checked the pressures once I got home and there were nearly at 40PSI  :scared: so i dropped them down to 32PSI as per yokohama guidelines when hot.

Considered using R32 rear calipers with Audi A8 carriers and 330mm rear discs? You use the stock R32 sized pads...

Well that was fun.

Came back off holiday this morning, and needed to use my car this afternoon. Dead... remote unlock wouldn't work so got in with the key. No sign of life, nada.

Jump start it. All ok. Except the radio and Polar FIS dont work. No comms with VCDS either.

Fuse for the radio had blown somehow.

All sorted now.  :smiley:

I need to keep an eye on it.... Ive left it before for 3 weeks and its started first time.  :confused:


I also got a refund for the Mtec discs. I read a few bad things about them so gonna stick OEM discs and upgraded pads on the rear

I forgot about the cam. My low voltage cutoff is draining the battery (down to the set level) even when the camera is off. The varta battery is giving a much better crank though.

Couple of things today. New (well, 2nd new) steering rack fitted. Tyrol Deadset kit fitted too.







Front tyres are absolutely goosed.



New fronts coming soon.
