    Dests Old Avant in Scotland

    Well car got dropped of last Friday which went with out any hitches thankfully , been mental busy so first chance of the pics and whats the plans for the car

    Bit of PS going on with a few pics as I was bored





    Jobs that are happening or just about to happen

    All tyre replaced ..front ones have been done as wear on the inside was scary other 2 getting fitted at weekend
    Tracking needing done just for peace of mind
    Cam cover gasket has slight seeping so that will be sorted
    Tick over is slightly high so going to fix that, ISV I think or throttle cable to tight (not sure yet)
    Rear wheel bearing

    A little engine bay tidy up, stronger boost clamps , replace all vac pipes just the things I am **** about

    A few niggles body work wise but nothing drastic , rear tailgate (the common issue on avant beside rear wiper arm)


    And thats it with all these done the car is near immaculate

                          Well changed the wheels over and got the tracking done as best as I could adjuster on drivers side was siezed so need to free up only needs half a turn to correct but happy with over all settings and much better handling




                          Doing the bearing tomorrow and changing fuel pipe that connects tank to feed line under the car

                            Have to say it looks better with the S4 Alloys....

                            Not a lover of RS6 alloys other than on a RS6...IMO..

                              The wheels are a temp measure atm , Have quite a few wheel options available to me but these where the easiest i.e. bolt on, good rubber and straight
