When fitting it was the left / n/s that didn't seem to want to seal (nipple) but I remember when I rang you I was looking at the drivers side so I'm not sure now, had 5million things on my mind over last couple of months  :sick:

I plan on going 3rd or 4th to BDM, will text you as soon as I know when they can fit me in if you want to come over  :happy2:  :notworthy:

Take care !!

On that pic there's a wrong nut for connecting steering rod to hub !!

There's a flange/collar nut needed !!

Spent the day at VagCo in Doncaster today...

New cam follower (I check it between 5 & 10k) old one was fine but renewed it anyway
Jubilee replaced that German dealer lost off my ITG
New NGK irridium '8s'
New 312mm j hooked discs
Pagid blue pads
S3 rear brakes with j hooked discs
New top mounts
TTs lower arms / ball joints
Neuspeed turbo discharge pipe.

Going to backdraft Motorsports on Monday for Alex to sort a fast road setup, check I've set the resin on the pagid pads and hopefully put my ATE super blue racing fluid in.

Lots of scrubbing and scraping ATM but other than bedding my brakes in I'm not driving the car until its setup.

Next up is Blueflame decat downpipe and wheel refurb

Saving for Revo and Diff

Update after alignment / Geo and I get to give it some beans  :party: :party:
