    Going from totally smashed up / written off to perfectly roadworthy with mot is such a valuable skill you’ve literally learnt all by yourself. What an achievement.

      I hope it’s still intact. If not, give him an old Polo. Trust me, two daughters got through two old Polos EACH & a knackered Micra before they graduated to late letter Golf & Polo (crashed once, into the back of her boyfriends BMW!).
      I had a Ford Escort Mk2 estate, seven years, hit nothing, and I’m a fella. Ok, I also crashed three motorcycles while I was at it!

    Been watching you since you had the e87. As a person who works in a body shop, these builds are more and more entertaining to watch. Love everything you do. Great to watch someone achieve so much knowledge about body work and mechanic work mostly by himself working in a garage at home. The energy is real. Keep it up man, you're one of a kind.

    Unplugging things is a great way to diagnose problems.
    My car was running terribly lately misfiring, loads of smoke, and randomly cutting out, but whenever I'd unplug something, like the MAF, MAP, or EGR, it would run fine, so I knew it wasn't anything catastrophic wrong with the engine. And when you know that's the case you feel a lot better.
    Mine turned out to just be a sticking EGR valve, but it took me a while to believe it because I took it off and cleaned it and all the mechanics and electrics seemed to work fine, but the problem was still there. It wasn't until I blocked it off with a blanking plate, made from the lid of a tin of beans, that the car ran right again.

    Hope my comments on the previous videos helped in identifying the Camshaft Adjuster Magnets as the problem, I had to change mine fairly early on in ownership of my S3 8V. (it also helped with the auto stop / start and made that much smoother in operation). Glad you got it sorted.

    Mat, you should create a discord server or something for your community. For interaction and such. Maybe even a subreddit.

    The point you made about the anti theft capabilities of air ride is excellent what with the theft of wheels and catalytic converters being so common nowadays. If they made the control box with Touch ID then it would make a car very difficult to steal.
