    Hi guys,

    Thanks to the awesome *** in this thread we're having a tech day to help out a mate of mine in desperate times.

    Really appreciate the way members are willing to even help out a zedder they haven't met.

    I'll be there from 9am as I'm assuming we'll need as much time as we can get in daylight.

    Car and working space is in garage so weather shouldn't be an issue.

    Please post your name up when "FIRM".

    I'll post out address closer to the day.

    Also please post up any preparation steps Simon and myself can do prior to the day. (yes I'll do some searching too)

    So this is an ENGINE PULL and HEAD GASKET REMOVAL on a 93 TT ready for Head Gasket replacement.

    I'll shout Pizza/Nandos/whatever we vote for LUNCH and we'll make sure fluids keep flowing all day, and if we're still going by dinner time, we'll BBQ some dead animals and any fingers the zed engine bay removes for us.

    Thanks guys. You're awesome :D :zlove:
