After 4 days I driving the mini bus they're f-ing great! Lol
In seriousness; the handling dramatically improved with the weight loss. I did it on a shoe string and didn't fit the pad dampers, fitted used OEM porsche pads and didnt bother putting fresh fluid through.
They are great brakes. I've ordered Pagid Rs4-2 and just received some ate super blue so lookin forward to re juvinating them!!

So I got a copy of the bill from the dealer today that is been sent to the womans insurer for fixing my car.
Over 3500euros, I want 15% of that as de valuation compensation and the equivelant cash for not having had a hire car...
Will update when Ive rung her insurer on Monday... :happy2:
JoeDarKa:

What did they actually replace / do?
Tfsi_Mike:
Not translating it now, Ive had a almost a bottle of ammeratto :ashamed: lol

Gave her a quick wash this morning at work...
Then took her to Seat for a new fuel filter...
Started and drove really nicely, made me wonder if it would stop the most recent spluttering. But was nearly home going up hill with 25M to empty on the dash and splutter splutter. :fighting:
Going to do a scan in a min to see if the cyl 3 missfire has settled and then going for some new irridiums.
Also called into say Morgen to the local fire fighters as they were all pointing at the car as I was sat in traffic...
Cant wait to get a decent camera! iPhone's good for random quick snapping but not upto some of the great shot opportunities that randomly arise...
