Not sure if to say sorry about the big R or feel jealous?? Min terms & say nothing until they have to seems to be pretty standard fare :grr::grr::grr:

Good to hear you've started the MG, that'll be another beauty when done, I have no doubts.

The Audi is having new valve stem seals & tappets re-shimmed, so the cam is out. It'll get a new front cam seal too.

Also replaced the snub mount/alternator bracket as mine was cracked. Took a year or so to find one !!
So that's the headlights, undertrays and bumper off to get at everything. Should get them back on this weekend.

I'm hoping to get some pressure tests done on the fuel system now I have my gauge kit from the US, it's always run rich, hopefully narrow down where the issue lies.
It's just tinkering really, constant small improvements rather than real issues :tup:

You've been busy on the old Quattro, bet that was satisfying to find that snub mount after a year. :shocked:
I thought your car smelt very rich the one time i was behind it. Oliver nearly choked. :eek: :lol:
Don't forget to take lot's of lovely pics to update your thread on the top end overhaul. :rock: :tup:

The payout sounds :nonod: ..........but a new horizon awaits you, something good around the corner where you perhaps least expect it? :tup::tup::tup:

Yet the mpg seems ok Mark, so maybe not too far adrift. :confused:
Hope Oliver soon recovered :nod::nod::nod: :D

Pics to follow, hopefully, I have issues with my phone at the moment, camera with flash causes shutdown :wall:

It's a Motorola android phone. Time to replace I think.
