Hit the biggest pot hole ever tonight, full of water so didn't see it. Genuinely thought I'd broken something 🤯
Let's see what the tyre looks like in the morning

I hit one of the ridiculous terracotta walls that are now being installed int the half way part of crossings in Westminster, NO illuminous paint or even white markings, took out my wheel and tyre, terrifying explosion as tyre let go, fortunately no suspension damage or wheel alignement issues...but pricey for new tyre, already had spare wheel.

Troops, the headliner at both A pillars is **** wet through. Sunroof drains blocked or condensation?

On Otto, no sunroof, we get wet headliner at the windscreen, mostly outer edges. We suspect some sort of leak in under the transverse trim strip across the front of the roof or possibly under the fore and aft strips that hold the roof rack mounts. He's patched across the trim with gorilla tape and that considerably reduces it. We have butyl rubber sealer to treat it with eventually, but I think the clips for the trim are unobtainable and don't survive removal.

Seems you can get a rebuild kit.. probably something i need to do sooner than later!
If second hand motors aren't dear maybe it's worth doing a swap then i can rebuild at my leisure and keep the car useable

I've just bought a brand new one off amazon for just over 30 quid. It's from an Audi a4 and looks like the same motor but different bracket. I was going to swap the bracket but this one is moulded so I might just take the innards out and fit them into mine.
Secondhand motors seem to be going for anything upwards of 100 quid so I figured I'd take a punt on the 30 quid jobbie first and see if I can make it work.

Reckon if i was on low profile it would have been worse
Have you checked your tracking since?
Can't figure out on these new fangled if tracking will wear one or both fronts

Just got tiniest of play in bottom ball joint but nothing to fret about at the moment. When weather picks up guy who has done other work will do it for me:)
 
If I hadn't been on A/T's I think it would have trashed my front suspension....as our one is also 'jacked' up by a 7.5 cm lift kit I think it meant we glanced over the kerb rather than crashing straight in to it, a low profile would not have survived and would have cost god know's waht in additional costs, there is a lot to be said for having chuky tyres despite them costing a bit more in fuel consumption. We have serious peak tyres fitted now and they are superb!
 
Oh its wound me up somthing mad today, loaded trailer on with my skid car last night, all ready and boom missfire cylinder 8 and within a 150mile radius i can not get a new coilpack new or 2nd hand anywhere even in the scrap yards 🤬
