    I've always had a soft spot for fast audi's they look menacing
  10. Definitely the same guy that took me round in it after I had done a few laps myself. He redefined how fast I thought it could go
  11. Good stuff its always nice when its an easy fix. I bet its made your day
  12. It's like a holiday and present all wrapped into one, you just have to decide once you get the car where to go on holiday I hear Cornwall is nice And if someone offers you a Glasgow kiss SAY NO !!
  13. Firstly I would check the voltage on the glow plug relay and then each of the glow plugs individually to make sure they are getting power. You can take them out to see if they have carbon build up on them and test them (be careful they will get VERY hot). They should be on the front on the engine and will have pipes going to the injector pump. There are many things it could be, my problem was air getting into the fuel system from the auto choke that diverted the cold diesel to the thermostat housing to warm it up initially this was on a saxo though. It would start after a few goes and it gradually got worse until it wouldn't start this was over the space of a week so check for air/fuel leaks. It could also be that the injector pump timing has skipped a tooth (unlikely), valve clearances, dieing injector pump, dead fuel pump, blocked fuel filter etc Is the fuel pump priming? Start cheap and get some new glow plugs, try and get OEM ones as aftermarket ones last no time at all and usually are crap from what I have found. Check the injector pump timing also. As you probably know diesel combustion is based on compression and not a spark so I would do a compression test on it to see if there are any problems there next.

    Lovely car, were you doing some shopping at meadowhell or did you just go there to take the pictures ?
  15. I think he might mean a fuel cut defender but I am just guessing.
  16. It was a while ago but I think it might have been, he was white, brown hair about 6 foot-ish.
  17. That looks like an amazing machine bet it goes like stink !
  18. I see what you did there, very sneaky
  19. That's insanely cheap !! How come its so cheap ? End of production / surplus stock?
  20. Ouch that's bad luck, if it ain't broke don't fix it springs to mind.
  21. I did mine at the prodrive test track I had: Lambo Murcielago, Aston v8 vantage, Ferrari 360, Audi R8 and Ariel Atom. By far the most fun was the atom it was mind numbingly quick and the guy with it raced them, he took me for a spin and scared the crap out of. Boy could he drive !!
  22. They are doing nearly 225 MPH there was no chance they were going to be able to avoid the crash.
