Thanks Nige  :smiley:

Really pleased with how its turned out. Grant could have taken the correction further but at the end of the day the Audi is a daily driver  :smiley:

90000 miles overall now and 65k under my ownership

Got a new coolant bottle to go on as the sensor is playing up, telling me there's something wrong when the bottle is at the correct level.

Also need two new tyres but can get the same Uniroyal Rainsport 3's for £62 off Camskill. The tyres have been excellent and easily outlasted the Goodyear F1's  :smiley:

Fronts have done approx 15k  :smiley:

Rears still have a few mm but they were originally on the front so might have done more miles

Looking good mate! Considering a roof box for the Yeti for holidays with my folks as we'll need somewhere to store all their bloody wine!

I often wish I managed to keep daily drivers as long as other people. You've really invested a lot of time and effort and it really shows. :)

Thanks Nick  :smiley:

Bought the roof box for when we go camping. Laylah is only getting bigger and I'm fed up on everything being crammed in. A roof box is significantly cheaper than a new car  :grin:

Keeping a car long term is normally determined by my finances and the fact apart from a MK7 GTD nothing tickles my fancy. The Audi is still young in mileage terms having just hit 91,0000 so plenty (hopefully!) of life left..........
