Like the garden work!

Mine had a new windscreen fitted.... luckily I had a quick look before paying my excess as he had cracked it. Twice. So another new screen will be put in next week!

The postman has also lost my clutch return spring so will have to order up another one. Oh well! At least I painted my other sill so they all match. They aren't pretty up close but are solid and rust free now!

Yep the heads remained attached, although slightly windswept

New cambelt, water pump and tensioners

i envy your wheels, nice to see someone else with black mirrors tooo

Thanks everyone likes my old fuchs yes you don't see many black mirrors for some reason.

Looking good Mr Barron!

Still want those wheels!

Surely a man like you must have some Fuchs?

topped up the oil..

though "ill give the throttle body a clean"

found a lot of oil resiue on the bottom of the the IC - TB hard boost pipe (TB end) turned out to be a loose hose clip

removed all the hoses, cleaned with thinners and put back

the difference is massive! feels like ive just put a bigger turbo on!

I know but I love em

Got me some of those 7 x 16 and 8 x 16 951 part no's going to get re anodised and painted and fitted to my 220

Only Fuchs I have are on my tuned 930 turbo and that is where they need to stay other than that I am Fuchsless!

got my engine back!! 4 thou end float,new shells in main and big ends £400 ,i think thats pretty good ....whats the cause of the end float...is it because of the pull clutch...someone please enlighten me!!

You load the end of the crank everytime you depress the clutch. This in turn wears out the thrust washers in the middle of the crankcase. I think you can get oversize ones to take up wear as well, usually best to replace them if you have done the mains and big ends. Worth checking.

Took our S2 into Promax to look at a hot starting problem.

All the their courtesy cars were out so Andy kindly lent me his car instead

Very kind indeed! Perfect opportunity to compare the S2 with the Turbo. So you'll be wanting a Turbo next?
