What about a V10 Towrag? If getting the Q7 I'd go the 4.2 unless you can snag a rare V12.

[Ribfeast]

Plus nearly 200k on it, and dents and wear everywhere. No thanks

[Ribfeast]

Yeah this is why I haven't pursued Audis, that timing chain is scary. I think the RS4 V8 didn't have the issues with those that the S4 had from memory.

I remember using a stapler for the head lining in my old falcon years ago, no fucks were given lol

I had the O2 error coded out on my 2006 H6 Liberty when I owned it. Cruise worked fine. No more engine light.

PortShipping Containers, Royal Wolf etc have them, or get them off Gumtree etc.

I bought a 20 foot and had it delivered to my previous suburban house on 500m2, and we put all the nopics stuff in it, as her ex kept going to the farm when...

Yeah V10 M5 was what I was thinking off. Rod bearings might have been it. If they have been done, then you are golden! Enjoy the borts

[Ribfeast]

Very nice! Saw a convertible M3 of that series for low 30's pre-covid that I was lusting after, wasn't there issues with the bottom end on those engines or something? Or am I thinking of the V10s?

[Ribfeast]

Low 3's, yup that makes sense then, seriously quick. Wonder what they do down the 1/4 stock?...

[Ribfeast]

Seems like poor value vs a mustang? Or am I missing something? Triple the price for similar specs?

[Ribfeast]

Epic! Makes me miss my 1JZ cressy Best I managed was a 12.3.

[Ribfeast]

Just get the Infiniti Red Sport for your 4 seats and V6 twin turbo goodness.

Picked up a replacement refurb alternator with 6 months warranty from a wrecker, apparently the windings were stuffed too due to the overheating. All running well now! Thanks everyone for their help

[Ribfeast]

Regulator looks like it is on the back of the alternator, I reckon you are on the money, these things run in 3 phase AC and convert to DC, think a diode has died for one of the phases.
Part# stamped on the Valeo regulator is 2542604 if anyone knows...

[Ribfeast]

It’s a Valeo part, A0111546402. Cheers

[Ribfeast]

Looks like a decent groove on the copper contacts, and brushes are worn down a bit. Around 150k on the car.
This normal?
I can get another alternator for around $200-250 from Rockauto but not sure how long it will take to get here. ...

[Ribfeast]

Haha eventually But this will become the nopics car.

Just went to drive the old CLK240 this morning and a big battery symbol popped up on the dash. Sounds a bit strange in the engine bay too.
Popped the bonnet and measured the voltage, looks normal when I give it a rev. Battery reads 12.6V when car...

[Ribfeast]

Maybe some Nilodor too.

[Ribfeast]

Wow, not even gal or high tensile either.
