        It's got no bumper, crossmember, airbox, headlights or coolant at the moment! So Loughboro is out the question - cheers for the offer though. Next week is fine - the car's not going anywhere in a hurry!!!

          I can't come and help I am afraid, but there will obviously be plenty of online "support".

          Is it one particular hose or area you are stuck on, or have you lost your way a bit?

          Photo's could be useful too.

          All the best.

            What is it you're stuck with? I replaced some hoses on mine and put a new rad on it so I'm reasonably well versed...
            1994 Audi S2 Avant - in pieces
            2006 Skoda Octavia vRS 2.0TFSi - goes fast
            1985 Audi 90 quattro - is wet

            Don't forget the East Midlands Meet -Last Tuesday of every month at 7:30pm just off M1 J28!![/COLOR]

                You aren't too far from Loughborough if i remember rightly? I may pop over next week if i have the time. I've got your number so will let you know.

                A mini meet would be a good idea.

                  Mini-meet would be more than welcome - I'm about 20 minutes from Loughborough, and 20 minutes from the East Midlands Airport. At the moment I've got a hose attached to the coolant manifold thing on the side of the engine, that won't budge. ******* thing!

                    Its just crustified itself on there... SOme of them do stick well... If renewing these hoses then quickest way to have off a really stuck one is to slice it with a knife.
