Yeah? 100% you will be. I’ll be lucky before 2026. What’s your point Johnny? 🧐

Man you've lost your sense of humour, and I put 2033 for mine. If you do the maths 2033 is greater than 2026.

No nasty holes through the condenser like before 😁

Read it in a rush.

Does that mean we have 12 more years of listening to you “should of bought a BMW”? That’s gonna be painful.

Bloody oath there will be 😂

I am thinking of moving to a BMW X3 30i from our VW Tiguan 162TSI though, however the jump in price point is putting me off. Is it "that" much better?

Unlikely but your e-penis might be bigger? 

Lolololol.. I just like the X3 over the Tiguan chassis because of the bootsize.

I didn't think we needed such a big boot till we had a kid!

Touareg would be amazing but that's a 100k+ car 😥

Get a Tiguan Allspace. It’s probably same length as X3 and as an added bonus it’s not a shitbox BMW….  We’ve got the Allspace and they feel quite a bit bigger in back seat and boot.  We don’t need it for the 7 seats, just those two areas being bigger.  New model out in Mid 2022.  The new R-Line look amazing!  #notbiased…..

Yeah I did think of that however the new facelift model they removed the boot proximity auto close, removed the rear tray tables, removed physicals buttons on the steering wheel and not to mention have done nothing in terms of power and the DSG box.

I really hate running a DSG box in a SUV, it's just not very nice to drive at times, even after I've coded out the pedal delay and have had the car flashed with an APR tune. Sure it runs 12.9s 1/4s 😂 but simple things like a hill start or reversing up a slope is horse shit. They need to just put in a ZF box and turn the motor around like a Q5.

If X3 is near new and under warranty, should be pretty good. Otherwise get something better, like Santa Fe :D

Mrs Dose Pipe said no Korean cars, as much as they are better built than VW shit boxes they still don't have that level of sound deadening and comfort. Like getting jumping from a Rav 4 to a Tiguan, sure they're the same price but man the Tiguan much more comfy.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
