Another set of our stainless steel heater pipes fitted this week. This time the customer opted to have us fit them at our workshop after traveling up from the Isle of White. Whilst the fuel tank was removed we also replaced the fuel pump and fitted one of our fuel feed lines to a new fuel filter (the old pipe had the usual corrosion but also had been badly kinked from a previous filter change - see photo of how we found it). As the car was with us we also replaced the cam belt, water pump and thermostat along with an oil change to keep this very tidy example on the road for years to come.

Still extremely happy with how these pipes came out and how they fit every time. We keep these in stock so if your heater pipes are looking like these did, you know what to do

Some great shots by Matthew Pitts from our recent trip to Blyton Park for the The Friendly Faces Car Club track day, all 3 cars running faultlessly and impressively. Such a great event to be a part of and looking forward to the next one already!

Joshua Simon Keohane-Cherry brought his 1.8T swapped Lupo GTI over to us following a track day that raised some issues:

A coolant leak identified as a budget water pump leaking, led to fitting a genuine VW water pump along with a new cambelt and tensioner to ensure trouble free motoring. One of the coolant joiners had also been overtightened and perished, breaking apart when removed to access the cambelt, this was replaced by a stainless steel joiner. As you can see the coolant was also rather crusty, multiple coolant flushes and a new header tank later its back to a bright pink that it should be 👌

The second issue was it repeatedly blew its boost pipes off, we found that 2 of the aluminium pipes had been cut to length but had no bead rolled on the end, a quick trip to see Jon at Advanced fabrication ltd soon sorted that issue to ensure they remain in place and keep the boost where it should be!

Such a cool little car that packs a real punch 💪 never a fun task fixing inherited issues but happy to help get it up to the standard it should be

Post trackday check over for Ryan Freegard ‘s M2 Competition. Trackdays are hard on brakes and tyres so this is just as important as a pre trackday check over! Fortunately in this case it was just a matter of clearing the brake dust buildup from the discs and cleaning the wheels out again 💪
