Its possible bad fuel- we are using new sources for refinery countries like China as Russia is blocked.

It was a great day out- a few cars that really impressed me was the Ferrari 348 - saab 900 aero absolutely fabulous unique quirky styling and the carlsson is a box I would certainly like to tick been an ex saab turbo owner- also the lotus esprit never gets old- I did ask a few owners are they unreliable as they say - and was told of of multiple rebuilds and yes they are ! Got to say the celica GT4 sure win win that car .

You'll get there - these things are here to test us but in doing so replacing these parts ticking off the list means its one less thing to go wrong in the near future .

There is also a circular sensor actually attached to the camshaft - it’s obsolete - it’s circular and working in tandem with the sensor I believe . like this

Yesterday was invited by Hagertys to show black magic in what they call the class of 22 - dont ask me what its all about have no idea ! Can get a quick glimpse of here 0.20 on video. Was some amazing cars on show - also second video at 1.00.

Did a couple of jobs on the Audi today - de baged rear panel fir a clean look - painted callipers and fitted some decal and some new wheel caps . 320 mm I think they are. Garage truss roof arriving tomorrow so full doors sharada on that .

As description - they are handed so passenger side thanks . Can still buy them nee but my mate needs one and it will take weeks from classics to arrive !

Just lever open - I will then use black tiger seal to re seal so it gives a new black back ground top snd bottom of decal . IMG_1461.MOV

No worries mate -I will probs open the original ones up one day and restore them .

Its has been a slow process on the garage build but things have been moving on now - my builders went on holiday so decided to do the slab after doing some research . Did the shuttering at the front then carried on to reinforce the concrete with lattice chairs at the base then mesh on top which gives a double layer tie- also squidgy 15 mm boards used around perimeter to allow for expansion . The concrete poor started at 5 pm 40 newton meter mix- then was was finished buffed off at 10 pm - it has been very challenging with the weather in the 30s- so opted for a pooling cure - wet slab and let the concrete sweat under the white reflective sheeting basically promoting a slow cure time with slow hydration (water escape) curing is what gives the concrete strength and if it dries out to quick you get plenty of cracking and a very powdery surface- only achieve 50 percent of strength as hydration is what causes the chemical reaction. Slab will be left to be pooled for 1 week- with sheets taken off every night- let the slab breath for a couple of hours then hose down and sheets back on. Walls and wall plate will by the on including cantic beams end of next week - then roof trusses delivered Monday and roof completed end of that week. Roof will be constructed with ready made trusses- tiles are Staffordshire clay Dreanoughts manufactured from local the clay pit and fired in the Black country - Arris Hips will be used to match the main roof which give a sharp roof line and low maintenance as you do not need to use mortar to point like a half round just a nail at the top and a dab on the bottom of grabber . Under sheeting I'm using the dreadnought extra thick. Im really in two minds just to paint the concrete blocks white internal instead of plaster boards and plastering. Same for the roof - really cant see no point plastering it - happy for the roof space to be seen and can stack the odd thing or two on the wooden trusses. Popped down the local quarry and they made me up some saddle stones from Granite to put under the base of the oak columns which will be placed on the façade of the front elevation .

Ive loaded the video to the corrado forum facebook page- thats what I will do in the future as its a public page. https://www.facebook.com/john.luke.589583/videos/1118973352060476

That will be because I’ve now got my fb page on private and the forum website does not cater to download a small video clip to the site .

Not me mate i just changed the feed line from filter to bay and the soft hoses on the on the end of the hard lines - take it you have changed out your fpr if you have had fuelling issues - did you leave e 5 or e 10 in the car mate. If this helps this is the fuel line for ends. External . In regards to fuelling old cars- new pump - fpr- lines- and get injectors cleaned - fuel relay. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/382558389619 These are the clamps I used. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/132124984649 Fuel lines internal tank (sitting in fuel ) let me know and i will dig that out to if needs be.

Check they aint had a nibble on that draughtstrip and built a tunnel - thats how mine got in.

Great cars - my third one - got to say the tdi 3.0 is the best engine - the torque of that thing gives an exceptional daily car- I just went for petrol this time as diesel seems exspensive and will be for a while because most of it comes from Russia- I really reccomend anyone looking for a 10 k dily to consider one- so comfortable- you get real nice seats made out of fine nappa leather heated / mine cost 12.5 k with only 51 k on the clock .

No mate just a straight up tune - it does really fly pretty mental how cheap it is to get the raise in figures- hopefully there will be no negatives of the tune- Vince seemed to think not- time will tell - clutch would be the first thing to drop it ass i imagine . Its the third generation 2.0 tfsi engine- has the fuel filler cap on the timing cover- the engine is mounted longitude on a Quattro - vw the opposite way so fuel cap is on the side and on the front of a quatty- due to awd . Since I've owned cleaned the bay - took the scuttle off and cleaned the drains- its so nice to have a car that you can keep in good shape before the rot comes. Noticed this on the screen to- i was wondering why it beaded the water so well.

Have good check of the cabling- can you see any mouse droppings in the garage.
