Yep

Slave cylinder in the box has failed again, this one (genuine part) lasted 50k / 3 years.

Pretty gutted to be having to do this job for a second time in my ownership, its a proper fucker of a job to do, especially on axle stands.


These a common problem then? Just on TT's or on the 1.8t engine?


Pretty common, also happened on my 1.8T S3.

Yeah but you have your cars for about 3 months a pop.....I have done well over 100k in my 3..

I don't think it's super common, my view is probably off as it seemed reasonably common on forum cars.

Or possibly just my very back luck

Either way, only a car, can be fixed, not the end of the world

New door speakers.


Only had time to fit one so far, as takes bit of work due to size, but difference is amazing! Plus they aren't orange...

Thanks both.

Today I fitted a roll bar, was bit of a pain and would been easier with a second pair of hands, but it's done.



Mounting brackets are behind arch lining, and holes had to be drilled through the body

How many times did you almost lose a nut/bolt/tool down that drain hole?

Looking nice though!

I've got no idea what they're. I liked them at first, gone off them a bit last week or so.

One thing at a time

Bought a snotter to relieve the Monaro of commuting duties.... 50miles per day just isn't doing the bank balance any favours.

I like Signums, for some odd reason.

Headlamps look like they could do with a Polish. Use 3M's kit. Works wonders.

They could do with a polish. I already have the 3M kit from when I converted to AFLs on the Vectra VXR.

Signum is alright - it's the Vectra underneath really so a familair place to be. Bit older in terms of tech, but meh not fussed. Should see a couple of years from it with any luck!
