SUCCESS - The roar of the V6

[mep12345]

At last after 11 months and 2 weeks she finally ran today . Following delays due to weather (I work on the drive), injury (elbow) and the just can't be a**ed the S3 finally ran today. A few issues getting it to start but with help of my boroscope realised distributor was 180 degrees out , corrected this and she started with the first turn of the key.

Just need to overhaul brakes (check after 12 months off the road), get an MOT and then she'll be legally drivable again. Then it'll be windscreen wiper mechanism overhaul. But nearly there .
