so quick crappy update from the last couple of week

With UD coming up next month as well as my MOT end of this month, i thought i'd get down to trying to fix all those bits that i always put off to another time.

firstly it was off to Ollys for a full service, along with rear PF bushes and new front top mounts




Service parts, LONG overdue by Muhammad Hamidi, on Flickr

then the following needed to be done too

Re-run usb cable

Fit e-level controller holder

Re- fit remote antenna

Sub face template

Vag-com + check lateral sensor

Fuse holder

0 gauge terminal

Fit new aerial base.

Fit air filter

Middle seatbelt stuck



its not in any particular order but Nick got on the case to fix the more important ones first which were



Leaking front bag

Aux belt



wednesday last week got over to nicks to replace the Auxillary Belt as it was making a wee tapping noise from near behind the front wheel

this was the old damaged ones



after which nick mustve got hungry and died [lol-lol]



but thankfully some lovely diabetes food came to the rescue [In-love]




then on Saturday we got to tend to the front o/s bag that started leaking slowly again.

some of you may remember back in july last year that same bag was leaking and it was down to an O-ring that had split and had since been replaced. So we suspected the same fault again

everything stripped down (including the bags)





and this would be the split oring as suspected



its been replaced and now working fine



really glad i got the Accuair elevel management as it would automatically correct the ride hieght even whilst driving when the bag was leaking. so i'd defo be buying accuair stuff again. i wont be buying bagyards again



the next day i thought i'd take a friend to go pick up a car we've seen on autotrader. that meant travelling through central london, and obviously having nothing to worry about we went about our usual selfs. but this happened:



(copying and pasting from IG)

Was driving past Parliament Square in Westminster and was spotted by two officers on bikes. They stopped me for the poke... Which was later confirmed legal by a senior officer.

But in the process of stopping my car they noticed that my MOT had run out last week and not at the end of the month as I thought so.

So that lead to £60 fine and a further two traffic officers and later a Vosa Inspector coming down to confirm that the poke was fine but one tyre wasnt. So a further £60 and 3 points on my license. [N] Not the way I had planned my day to go.

The officers were polite, patient and not on the powertrip flex.

My fault that I had remembered the wrong date for my MOT renewal and overlooked the low tyre tread. However the first two officers were pretty damn adamant that the poke was illegal till the MOT inspector said otherwise. Unfortunately the first two officers had left buy the time that judgement was given, so they didnt get a chance to find out that they were misinformed

so car then had to be towed away.

so my list of things to do now:

New Tyres to be bought

MOT the vehicle

Sub face template

Vag-com + check lateral sensor

Fuse holder

Fit new aerial base.



apologies for the crappy pics, all were taken and had been raped on IG haha



Instagram is 0hMd0 if you want to check it out

[rsingh3g]

damn man they really know how to go after people in the UK

[hMd]

so a few updates, i'll be quick

someone decided to park behind when there was alllll the free spaces around to park, and then get stuck and hit me on the way out


silly people who cant park by Muhammad Hamidi, on Flickr

picked up a new engine to replace the slow and heavy 2.8 24v v6

CDL by Muhammad Hamidi, on Flickr

its a 2011 2.0 TFSI engine (CDL) out of an Audi S3 (265BHP) with only 9,000 miles on the clock! finally managed to get a hold of one, been looking since the winter


seeing as i would be going decat and non resonated exhaust pipe when the new engine goes in, i decided to have a bit of fun and remove them off the car now whilst the v6 in still in there

april 17th

so as some know, where i live, theres no parking in garages and such. its mainly on street parking and you can apply for garages but expect not to hear from them within the first year at least lol

so Noz came to the rescue having sourced a small garage a few mins from my house that belonged to Noz's sisters mates old ex husbands garage so i was able to store all my engine bits in there for the time being.


no space for you boy by Muhammad Hamidi, on Flickr

picked up an engine stand for the job and nick got it mounted

once up we were able to take the loom and ecu off

we also picked up locally a dirty old bam 6speed gearbox+transfer box cheap and gave it a quick clean

a bit cleaner by Muhammad Hamidi, on Flickr


then waited for it to dry... IN THE BLOODY RAIN as the garage has no power or water access, we have to wash and stuff at my house which is about 10mins drive away. The joys of living in central london!

a quick pic from local meet



and one by me
