badboyV6 4 Posted June 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Just got back from MIVW - what an awesome time :-D Had a convoy of about 20 dubs going into holland and the same coming out again - roaring through tunnels an allsorts.... Cant believe the car was actually running for me to drive it :-)Basically when i got it back it was sat out on the road for over 2 days as my VW Audi in astonehouse couldnt come and pick it up straight away, they bought a trailer down Wednesday morning and had it running by the afternoon - ECU had locked itself and reset keycodes. Also alternator, battery and leads were all knackered, so they needed to be sorted... luckily Dan just replaced one of the faulty leads and it rani picked the car up Thursday evening and built the front end up and managed to get the battery to charge, drove it to a friends house and put my RH's on and put the cage in plus a few other small bits for the MOT,Then it was back down to VW Audi in Stonehouse Thursday for more work as the car was still missing and for the MOT as it had expired.Getting it to pass with no side repetaers turned out to be a little bit complex so i had to have some chavved up oval led repeaters stuck to the wings (easy to remove)... after upsetting a few people it managed to pass. I was also told that the MAF was shot. Kept erroring - apparently on OBD2 cars they will still run fine if a little lumpy and have a lack of top end urge...Then after that They fitted the parts that VR6Rich lent me (alternator and leads) and then new spark plugs, bonrath power rohr. Also the MAF was knackered so i picked the car up lunch time, Friday and finished work to go and pick up a MAF from Ian (vdubgirls bloke) which he ordered me... Thanks fella - much appreciated!!! :-) Then i was back home to pack my stuff and double check the car before getting up for 5:30 to try and clean the car a little.... Anyway one small pic.....Ill get some more pics up over the next couple of days...Just like to say a BIG THANKYOU to VW Audi Stonehouse, VR6Rich, Ian, Claire, Dubloke, and lowlife for helping get my car driveable for this show - i was gutted at the prospect of having to drive the mondeo to Holland Link to post Share on other sites
