Got cut up by some imbecile in a hire car driving from the wrong lane and over hatchings on a roundabout. Judging by his driving ability little wonder he's in a hire car, had no clue as to why I was beeping him.
Drove straight on from the left-only lane on this roundabout- https://goo.gl/maps/8J2yn

they look much better!
Cheers mate, the black wing mirror covers I got from yourself are looking spot on!
What a tool!! I kerb my wheels from someone on their mobile straight lining a roundabout with me on the inside. I bet she didnt have a clue it happened. If I hadnt been on the way home sick from work I would have chased her down.
Tuesday night I was coming back from the return trip to Halfrauds to get the number plates remade which they bodged the night before, a trip i shouldnt have to have made i might add.
I stopped in the road next to mine just to check something maybe 100 metres from the give way at the end, and if i hadnt made that 10 second stop, the guy cutting the corner (at speed) from where he had driven the wrong way up the one way street at the end would have ploughed into the front of me! Seriously it would have happened.
Your MPG will probably be down because you have removed the air feed cover from your air filter, it will be pulling in heat from the engine bay.

Fitted some spring islolaters on my front springs, after fitting the Eibachs i started getting a slight rattle on uneven road surfaces. Contacted Eibach who supplied the isolater free of charge. The rattle has now gone!
Also another friend who has an 08 Leon 2.0 tdi 170 had his car towed to a garage today following a slight misfire then engine cut out. It's been diagnosed as an inlet manifold failure resulting in damage to a piston, valves and possible turbo. That's two now that i know of with failed engines due to the manifold!

Yes mate, the two were both running BMN engines, i checked my manifold following the first engine failure on my other friends, my manifold was on the verge of failing as well and was very lucky, fitted a new revised one just in time!
Yeah thought I remembered reading it in your build thread. Good timing then for the new one. I'm glad I have the 2.0t fsi then haha even though there is plenty to go wrong on that.
You're all good then mate, i think all cars go wrong at one time or another, they are getting worse! haha I used to just service peoples cars years ago once a year and wouldn't see them till the following year. Now they come back 2 - 3 times between services with faults like failed sensors, flywheels, egr's etc
Called BCS to make sure everything was ready for tomorrows fitting, woop it is.
I'll not sleep tonight

Also cancelled my insurance from Admiral and moved to Chris Knott. Highly recommend giving them a call to anyone wanting nice people to talk to and sensible prices for modded motors!
New intake valve fitted today, got a decent price for a genuine part from vw thankfully.
Had the egr cleaned whilst it was all gutted out, car runs much nicer now, well chuffed.
Put a dent in my piggy bank though....

I see what you did there 
Had my father driving me home in my R today due to an operation in my hand. Was a very... interesting ride.
