Of course +++

Drives really nicely too. The heated seats work too, which is nice :)

Some very hard work and ingenuity from Michaela.
All those within range would do well to consult with MJ about work on their 8s as she occasionally does work on a commercial basis. Her knowledge and capabilities are amazing.

The A8 alternator's rectifier pack is toast so its game over for that. No replacement until Monday at best. Hmm...

Unpowdered blue nitrile gloves - one of my workshop essentials :) Its amazing how the super-thin material protects them, but it stops them getting snagged and dirty. Powder makes gloves easy to put on, but really dries the skin so I avoid that. The powser also sands off nail polish, but tbh I only use that for xmas parties :D

I'm not sure what sort of Xmas parties you're going to with blue nitrile gloves on, but I got a box on order from tps just incase.

And great result well done.

Drives really nicely eh, don't you be falling for that aqua interior.

Well done MJ! Nice Job!
Now we can all watch in awe of the mighty 8 as Mike tries to kill it after Dezzy tried and failed to kill it!! :D

PS Can you shout me back about that other job on my D3 so we can sing off the same hymn sheets for a future date? +++
