Cheers! Can do more work again to do this summer now the rain has gone.

Nice work at one point you could get geunine Audi leather door pulls for £22 a pair from the dealers I couldn't find any anywhere, this was my last resort as I didn't fancy covering the old ones with leather covers. they look a bit loose & baggy in places. But these have held up well. I was goi...

Bought some cheap 2nd hand leather door grabs from eBay. because they were going cheap. They were a bit scruffy and in the wrong colour so I got some black dye (to match the gearstick and emergency brake). Bit of a problem finding a good black dye but found that professionals use Fiebings oil dye so...

When I was researching what USB power socket to buy and how to install it I found that there wasn’t a whole lot of info, so while installing my 12v USB power socket I thought i’d take some pictures to make a step-by-step walk through of installation. N.B.: Always remember to disconnect the battery w...

Car feels really good on the road after a bit of balancing and 4-wheel alignment. Fronts and rear set to 1.30. The suspension at the rear has levelled up to match the front making me wonder if I need to move to Eibach street pros at 30-35mm. Something to think about for the future maybe. But for now...

The Yellar Tie bars by Cookbot Automotive Solutions have finally been installed to straighten up the rear end wheels of the car and counteract the camber created by lowering the car. All seems well in the hubs and the tyres not too worn but it is nice to have it all straight for a while. Just a nice...

The wiper motor was starting to show signs of weakening. Don’t want to get caught out in the rain so time to replace it quickly. Got a nice new OE motor from a nice guy on the Mk1 TT community group called the VAG man. New piece looks great, works great, all is good again, no more worries about rain...

While replacing the spark plugs Vince (ace mechanic) noticed that the old plugs had oil on them. He decided that the rocker gasket needed to be replaced and, rightly so, would not install the plugs until the cam head was oil tight as it would effect the performance of the plugs. Within 30mins Vincen...

The old bushes on the front wishbone had been reported to me in the audi dealership health check as ‘de-moding’. However various people have said that they will last for a while. While the front was being taken apart I thought it a good time to replace them so no more problems will be had. They were...

Finally repping the TTOC badge on the Wee Beastie. Cleaned my mancave out yesterday and found my TTOC badge, so after giving the old 8n a wash, wax and shine I thought it about time to pop on the old club sticker before I loose it again. LOL! Looks very cool. https://carhutchinson.files.wordpress.co...
