I think the logo is "do not bend" rather than "no Mick Jagger's Allowed"

Because it's been painted, and its not leaking anywhere
The second cooler is there because the 5HP19 is on the limit of it's capacity with the V8 in front of it. The Allroad 2.7TT (265hp) has the same setup. Last edited by MikkiJayne; 24th April 2019 at 01:18 PM. |

They seem to be readily available in the USA also but surely a decent aftermarket like MANN would be just as good.

Yeah there are a few still in stock at various places, but now NLA from TPS. There are a few choices of aftermarket filters which I shall investigate before these are gone. The annoying thing is that the aftermarket ones are more expensive than genuine!
No update on General Vod tonight I'm afraid cos I'm too tired. I only got in at 10pm, but he's ready for MoT at 8am tomorrow |

Of course
He drives really nicely too, in a floaty american barge type of fashion, which copes admirably well with the terrible roads round here, but isn't so great at changing direction! Two things still to fix - the speedo is intermittent, and the fuel gauge has a mind of its own. For the former I suspect a bad connection either at the sender or in the ECU box, and the latter I'll just change the level senders and see what happens. |
