Default Keep calm and carry on :)

The more information, the better I think. I can't see the problem, there's more important things to worry about. Phil was very very helpfull with detailed information about the problem that I had with my a6 before while others were quet about it (probably because it was about a non-classic Audi, but I posted my thread in "General chat" section, which I think it was harmless).

Only about 10% of which you know.

I am not going to be bullied or swindled into replacing an engine at my expense in an ex-private hire car with 180,000 miles on the clock and no service history, especially when the owner of the car drove it at almost 100 mph to deliver me 10 miles to the station, commenting all the way on how wonderfully and quietly it was running.

And then when I returned two days later at my own expense because of his complaint, I discovered that all of the covers had been removed and refitted incorrectly.

And I fail to see how a 'valve was bent because of poor timing' when I hand-turned the engine two revolutions in his presence before starting it - explaining to him why I was doing that.

And, of course, I have photographs.
