Spent 5 hours today going over the wiring [emoji22] un taping a re taping it up in to a better location. Done oil change and swaped the spark plugs ive swapped over to copper plugs NGK BKR7E from the advise from the VW lads and gapped them to 0.28 so see how they run.

Also dropped the oil and put in the shell hilix 5 40 and bosh oil filter cant wait to get it running again lol

Pulls on to the rollers the guy says "is it lowered?" Im thinking here we go "yes it is"

He says "could be a issue"

They then decided they couldnt run it great day tho

Just read this from the start, such a good sleeper, looks brilliant!

So they couldn't run it because it was lowered? I'd have thought 75-80% of cars that would go on a RR would be lowered.

Yeh i agree 4 cars got turned away for being 2 low and 1 away for no tow eye. Think a few lads are going to pop up to dynodaze to put them on there.

Thanks for the kind words

Yeh will have to sort somthing out when it warms up a little hope to have a better looking engine bay then too
Wouldn't mInd tagging onto that too if that's ok as it would be good to meet some fellow owners who are local. cs Dave I think your literally about 2 miles from me . I do have to do the small matter of un sorning it and getting it to actually work first tho.

Spent today messing in the engine bay as wiring was abit of a mess and the grey paint was abit crap and flakey. So i sprayed the bay satin black as its so easy to paint with and taped up some wires and moved the filter. Just need a CAF sorting or a bonnet vent
