Thanks! :)
Next thing is the cambelt doing unfortunately...but needs doing! Then I will be looking at a tts engine cover, new brakes and new audio which should be fun....looking at getting a tablet built into the dash!

Fuel pump cam follower changed today after 66k on the clock. Not sure how worn it looks but best to be changed. Now can crack on with other mods  :pomppomp:
Pre-winter detail to be done next weekend.

Got the winter detail done a while back now, full polish and 2 coats of HD wax! Since then I've had to get the thermostat done, cam chain and adjuster and now the back springs have snapped! Not a good start so far....but oh well i do love the mk5! Heres a few pics  :smiley: and seen as the springs snapped I had to treat myself......










 :happy2:

If only it was this clean at the moment!

Got the springs fit a while back now with new top mounts. Finally got around to cleaning it and getting some pictures today! Liking how it sits with the sportlines and drives much better.

Quick update, got myself a GFB DV+ the other week and got it onto a replacement turbo today. Due to the actuator snapping i have to change to turbo :( so its getting done along with an oil change and new front discs and pads! Nothing exciting unfortunately. Managed to give it a quick wash at the weekend in this cold weather...still love the shine :D
