yeah i will give it some WD love tomorrow, then finish bleeding the brakes and i can drive it again :happy:

booked in for an epic expensive wheel alignment on thursday (getting the rear control arms bent to adjust camber)

Who is doing it? I'm happy with my alignment.. But not. Would like to get it checked by a 2nd party.

Lets share a fetus.

i thought tristan and you were sharing a fetus already? or did you not plant your seed deep down enough?

lol so was I. but I was too busy postwhoring on misfits to register an on SAU lol.

You know your old school when you know what misfits was,

lerl @ all the newbie plebs in here

Well 3 corners are down, one to do in the morning and then just got to replace my rear cross member bushes and its ready to get an alignment :happy:

All went relatively smoothly apart from getting the front upper link arms to line up with the holes properly lol. Rear shock was a prick to get off but got there in the end.

Looks much better now although I think the rear could still come down 10mm. We'll see how it looks once the other side has been done and its had time to settle :mad:

Pics are coming tomorrow :D

Did you put a coke can at the bottom?

y u want to sell it josh?

I'll do you a straight swap for the XF :happy:

I only bought it for the wheels, then had a soft spot for it as it went pretty well with the turbo, but alas like all my cars I grew tired of it. TBH, I find slow (In comparison to my 490rwhp R32) and I want something else that’s more track ready, or something that could be far more easier

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
