Well - I tried.. and the forum failed.. again - I had the full story typed in, quite a few pictures too... and... as you can see, it didn't work :mad: :rolleyes:

Seems weird quoting myself, but I thought I'd have another go at posting some pictures...o_O SWMBO's D1 battery box :eek: four layers of utter crap, mostly thin "biscuit tin" :rolleyes: , and plenty of fibre glass :mad::mad::mad:- which the plasma burnt through rather smokily :eek: .. I knew...

Well, about 2 weeks ago I got mine through its MOT.. one advisory - apparently my oil leak has returned :confused: o_O And a few days ago I got SWMBO's through its MOT .. one advisory .... an oil leak o_Oo_O :rolleyes: The OSF inner wing had taken a few days to get back into shape - and I...

Good innit :rolleyes: :mad: It's certainly where they are :rolleyes: - but clearly a better solution is quite easy - be grateful it's not a D1 - which although basically the same vehicle, has the sunroof drains about 2/3rds down the A-post - with the results we might expect :mad::mad::mad: .. I...

Welcome Aboard :) I'd be careful about changing the engine from a POV of originality affecting the value of the thing - but it is your car, so ... Both the 200 and 300 Tdi are eminently tunable.. The VM's didn't have a lot more power according to both Wikipedia and this:-...

Welcome Aboard :) Enjoy a good rebuild thread - best of luck with it ;);):)

Welcome Aboard :) +1 on post #2 - You might be able to upload your recording ... but be aware that the forum is being a bit weird w.r.t uploads a.t.m., so you might have to resort to putting it on some sort of file sharing site and posting a link :rolleyes:
