But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Passed MOT so another year of enjoyable motoring!

Did have two advisories -
Chip in windscreen, which has been there since before I owned the car!
Nail in offside rear tyre!  :shocked:  Was on the edge so had to have new tyre.

Did front brakes on Saturday, new discs and pads.
Was pulling to the left under heavy breaking, plus had a grinding noise especially when cold.
Thought it was the nearside with a problem so did that first, but nothing wrong there!
Moved over to the offside and when I got the disc off it had a badly pitted area on the outside of the disc about 20mm wide, that had not worn down. (inner face of disc) That pad also had a deeper groove in it.

No idea what caused this! Guess some grit or metal swarve got in between disc and pad? dunno!


Anyhow I now have excellent front brakes!

Decided I needed new front tyres as the nearside was almost bald!

Well now darn thing wouldnt start last night! :angry:
I actually knew the battery was down on power.
So had to use the Golf to go shopping in! :grin:

Anyway after shopping I decided to swap the batteries so that I could charge up the Passats battery.
What I found was about 4 inches deep of water lying in the skuttle! :shocked:

Apparently I need to clean out the plenum drains, sounds like fun!
Also found out this could cause brake problems. Hmmmm
