Bought a used (70k ish) set of springs and dampers to replace my 150k parts - off eBay for £1.99 - Turns out it's another member. Thanks Andy3004 
Cleaned and waxed.

what have you done to your car today ?

Noticed that over 4 full tanks, 2 of Tesco Momentum and 2 of Shell V Power alternately my EML comes on shortly after filling with Tesco and goes out shortly after filling with Shell.
I need to replace a split PCV hose and probably check all the others so it's probably on the edge but it seems my car has a preference for the more expensive things in life!

Lol, maybe she does, but it's probably the split PCV hose. That caused a "bank 1 too lean" code on mine. You don't want to let it run lean for too long, i'd replace it asap.
Yes, I've run VCDS and I think that's one of the codes that it threw up. The hose between crankcase breather and upper Y pipe fell apart when I checked it recently, held together with a few clips and insulation tape at the moment. Toying with the idea of catch can install and PCV delete or just replace the hoses....decisions, decisions.
its gone to the garage to be assessed, heres the damage
Ouch, what a nightmare. At least the damage is confined to the wing by the look of it from the pic. Hope she's feeling better soon.

Noticed my lcr makes a crazy loud whirring noise when I hit the brakes hard... any ideas as to why? Sounds weird anyhow I was thinking warped disc maybe but I would be able to feel that in the wheel and pedal right?

I thought it had been confirmed that bypassing the N249 was not a good idea?
It has been confirmed IMO, i'm yet to hear one good reason for removing it. http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/554859-N249-delete-Why-you-should-not-do-it
Removing it causes a nasty boost spike and stalls the turbo when you lift off the throttle!

This aftenoon I changed the following:
Thermostat
Coolant
Oil Filter
Fuel Filter
Air Filter
Oil
Spark Plugs
Coil Packs
Rear view mirror
Passengers window switch
Wiper blades
Fitted gearbox shim to get rid of the whine
Had a good look around the remainder of the engine for signs of damage/wear. Luckily nothing to report.
Tomorrow its discs and pads on all four corners, fit the new Parott system I've bought and probably give it a clean and polish
