Watched son's favourite film 'A Good day to Die Hard' forgot about the MK1 Leon scene! The only car not to get smashed!

Stalked the old girl online on the DVLA website . I see someone must have it now (I traded it in) as it is taxed and MOTd. If a Flash Red LC180 03 plate ending AZD ends up on here I have a bunch of receipts for it and a log of all the work done during my ownership. I do miss the power .

Changed my glow plugs but now have another code - P0684 Glow Plug Control Module implausible signal - anyone know where the module is and how easy to replace?

Went to have a look at yet another one and ended up buying it. Wasn't a fan of the yellow at first but think I've changed my mind.

Love the mellow yellow! I think they are the most iconic & a real treat to see on the road!

Yellow looks good to me, especially sat on black wheels.

Came off track.

Yup thank god there’s huge run off everywhere. didn’t cause too much damage but damaged none the less.
Ripped splitter back , which in turn caused the Bumper to flex causing the wheel arch cove r to explode and now there are tiny spider web fractures to the bumper top layer at edge of arch! I’ll get a pic and short video up later.
All in all a great day though.

Sorry to hear that, car can be fixed no broken bones is always a win in my book.

Did the new seat make a difference on the track.

Yeah pretty safe at Bedford.
Seat was brilliant. Stayed still in the car. So much better on my mullered back.
Climbed out when I got home as if I’d been out shopping.
Normally can hardly walk.
Feel shattered today though.

Ouch... sorry to hear that! Glad you're ok & hopefully you can fix up your ride soon.
Sounds like you enjoyed it, despite the trauma!

Went out to car tonight and the engine warning light has gone out so will leave it to see if it comes back.

I put yesterday my Rieger splitter and it looks amazing!
The car should come like that from factory...
My friend and his brother that lent me their shop and their lift for me to do the work just commented "this now looks like a much more expensive car!"
...and then my smartass friend went "what about sideskirts?"
Another idea planted, but I guess it might be more expensive than I am willing to pay.
...I am browsing sideskirts as we speak

It already has the Rieger front splitter (photos don't do it justice) and the rear Rieger diffuser, both in gloss black
...also looking at ordering from a breaker the plastic bit that goes behind license plate and painting that gloss black.

 

[Zardoz]

Yeah big difference! Looks like a Mk3

 

[vwtrev]

Taxed it, let the trackdays begin.....
