Had a truly superb visit to M-Sport (previously Malcolm Wilson Motorsport) yesterday, courtesy of the Borders Driving Club - mainly 'cos scotta wangled a place for himself and another for me. Cheers dude 8-) https://www.m-sport.co.uk/ What. A. Facility :shock: Scott got separated from the convoying ...

Merc EQA supplied by Audi to cover us until they have fixed Mrs mik’s etron. That’ll do nicely. Have only taken it up the road and back, but initial thoughts (which will make me look like an ungrateful moany git) : whilst the interior is far from unpleasant, the big vents in the centre are a bit chi...

JOB 50N spotted today in Carlisle.

Relative of Jobb?

@scotta - you need to update yours

I've just realised @dan managed to copy & paste content without the formatting . 15 minute forum ban for that error.

Did you manage to book a slot for an Emira drive @Jobbo ?

It will probably be a mechanical seal, we have them on all our water pumps, oil pumps etc and they work great. Dave is (of course) correct. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.audiworld.com-vbulletin/1754x1648/front_axle_reservoir_e8feee0fe54ad516eecb620eb6a83c82835b4861_a9aa4706438feb190597bc24e49abf...

Is the coolant under any sort of maintenance schedule or is it a ‘sealed for life’ system where by life they make it hard for anyone but a main dealer to change and the real life cycle is more like 6 years? There is a resevoir with drain plug in each motor to deal with seepage. Just found this stat...

I can't answer with any authority, but I'd guess fundamentally no different. Although I suspect they would be subject to higher temperatures? No idea about pressures.

I like some of the strong(er) Belgian beers like Duvel and La Chouffe, but I don't enjoy drinking many of them. Lagers slip down easier for me (current draught favourites Estrella & Birra Minabrea). I tend not to enjoy crafty / microbrewery type concoctions. Generally too strongly flavoured for ...

integrale_evo Yeah, I've been looking into it in a little more detail, and I'm still scratching the surface as opposed to diving deep, but I understand that in order to maximise (particularly continuous) performance manufacturers are deploying motor cooling circuits that go around the stator (sound...

Let it be so.

When do I get barred from the thread for enjoying Bud?

I have assessed your situation. You may consider it APPROVED.

Is this the part where we discover your best mate was my colleague?

Colleague/mate hired a T350 for his 25th. It was very good value, but the mandatory insurance excess of £3.5k (circa 20yrs ago) proved a great deterrent to push it too hard.

It gets better if you read the small print. One off charge of £3k plus VAT. Also the nicer cars have a little pesky asterisk: "* 1.25 miles charged per mile, minimum 50 miles per day. ** 1.5 miles charged per mile, minimum 50 miles per day. *** 2 miles charged per mile, minimum 50 miles per da...

Update on our E-Tron just added to the fleet running thread (page 1006 for future reference). Didn't want to post the same thing here also.
