A bit of a delayed update, but the old girl was fixed in time so a roadtrip to a bikers memorial weekend went ahead.
Friday she was back in the garage
Sump plug threads were beyond their best so a Helicoil insert went in and she is no longer staining the cobblestone driveway

Rear pads changed and the suspect sticky caliper issue sorted
Brake fluid changed
CV boot resecured
Still to do the anti roll bar bushes as the only supplied the links not the lower arm bush too
New number plates are here,
as is the door lock repair kit, so once the passat is collected tomorrow, the mission to do that is on

done over 120 miles and the fuel gauge hasnt even dropped below the FULL line yet

and the wheel search continues, might be dropping down to run some 14s
