Well, excellent news today, MOT passed first time!
Now taxed, and I've booked for tomorrow morning 10am 4-wheel alignment in Pro-tyre in Wells, then I can drive it properly Will report back if the alignment is any good...
Was lovely to get it on the road for the first time in a long time and hear that I5 sing again....
Cheers Voursch, great resource this forum, glad I found it, even if mine isn't an 'S'.
Hey....i wouldn't worry about S cars,yes there are nice but so is yours. I think the S2 forum is for people who are passionate about there special cars and type 89 Coupe quattro 20v is a special car.Just happy it's back on the road and you have done your bit for us on here who are interested and that's quite a few.

Well once resprayed it will be worth what I will have then spent on it I reckon £2K+, parts and alignment (the only bit I can't do myself) will be ~£1200-1300, but that it including £400+ for wheels and tyres. Respray, not sure what they go for nowadays, but budgeting on £1K -not until the summer though
Poly bushes soon add up don't they....
Now to sell the eurobox to pay for the refurb, and the Land Rover for the respray.
Congratulations, it's a great feeling getting a car MOT'd after a long time off the road.
I'm kinda looking to pick up a 20V CQ, have my eye out all time but unfortunately the day's of mega bargains seem to have gone.
You and me both ha ha. Excellent daily drivers and the only car I truly regret selling is my CQ. They are not exactly ten a penny and for some reason it is slightly easier to find a 10v in better condition. Not sure why.
Alignment done, no they didn't really know what they were doing, but with me babysitting them through it and even freeing off one of the collars on the front for them, it is all as I want it -and OH WOW WHAT A DIFFERENCE..... It actually like goes in a straight line
Now I just have to sort the one-drip-second oil leak that has appeared this morning (certainly wasn't there before!). LH side of the engine (radiator side), I'm thinking oil pressure sender, switch, that's about it there isn't it?

Excellent glad you got it sorted.
I first set mine up using string, fairly basic Dunlop toe gauges and a decent camber gauge, it was close to within tolerances but the difference when I'd let everything settle then had it set up properly was like night and day. It's amazing the difference half a turn here and there makes.
Yep, you've already guessed the most likely source of an oil leak on that side of the engine, there's two oil pressure senders there, well one of them is just a switch and it's that one that's most likely to leak.
Cottis, it a daily I want one for fancy a change from my Corrado and I figure it would be a solid investment to boot, given how precarious the banks are ATM I'd rather have more of my money in stuff as opposed to numbers on computer. Also if it get crashed or blows up then there's a lot of useful parts for an S2 owner.

All buttoned up now, washed and cleaned the interior plastics (had already hoovered it out a week ago).
Swapped the hazard/wiper stalk, this fixed the dodgy hazard switch but rear wiper still not working, guess that's a strip down now... Oddly when I pulled it out of the hedge, it worked once, just not since!
A very, very quick snap just as the sun was starting to go down:
