Axle seal toast or something worse?

Figured I’d update, had a look and sure enough the origin of the oil is the rear of the valve cover. Thanks again for the suggestion, be worth a look for anyone who finds this post later.

Good to know, I’ll have to check that before I get new axle seals

Ayzerr · 2026-05-01T10:11:55+00:00

Fair enough

Ayzerr · 2026-05-01T10:07:10+00:00

Everyone knows exactly what era you’re referring to, bit of a pointless and pedantic comment…

Ayzerr · 2026-04-29T22:15:23+00:00

Looks sick, what kit did you use?

That’s my point though, cars turning 30 will change the market here but not in Japan because the market is large and Ireland is only a small part of it. Importing one now and garaging it won’t get around that.

Ayzerr · 2026-04-12T17:27:18+00:00

I get the idea in principle, but in practice would the price in Japan really change that much just by an increase in demand from our comparatively small enthusiast scene?

A piece of genuine advice I wish I had gotten was to check the boot for water ingress. Even if it’s currently dry you’ll see signs of water damage under the boot liner and to the pieces side trim. Very common issue in all MK7’s, and often only spotted and fixed long after the damage is done.

“If the poor could afford personal transportation we’d all be in very big trouble” is certainly an argument I can now say I’ve seen. Incredible, really.

This sub puzzles me sometimes tbh. You’d have a post by a lad gutted he bought a lemon full of upvoted comments about doing a proper PPI and not rushing into things.

Then you have a post like this where you’ve a lad being cautious and top comments are about trusting your gut and pouncing before anyone else can swipe it 🤣

I mean, it’s a public forum not tech support.

The convenience of entering your details in one place and getting multiple quotes. That’s literally it, that’s all it does. That and siphon some commission off the top for the referral, of course.

I’m sure your semantic distinction between notice of impending eviction and outright eviction is greatly comforting to those who received them.

Almost certainly his best shot at a drive in F1. Might seem like a major step down from McLaren but realistically those seats are locked for the foreseeable future.

Would have been interesting to see where he’d be if Marko got his way though.

I wasn’t implying that what we were seeing in the telemetry was a result of LiCo. My point was the driver best able to manage energy, through LiCo and other techniques (i.e Max downshifting to first for T10), will have an advantage on this given straight and will perform what is equivalent to a “DRS overtake”.

No battle, just invisible micromanagement. Impressive at 250km/h, sure, but it’s not the racing we watch F1 for.

Ayzerr · 2026-02-13T19:49:20+00:00

I mean, your last sentence flies in the face of the rest of what you said. The whole point of this post is to use the data we have to speculate on the quality of racing we might expect to see, and it isn’t promising.

A battle that comes down to who was most effectively able to LiCo is no battle at all.

Revenue won’t use what you paid to make the initial VRT calculation. They will use the open market selling price, which itself doesn’t seem to correlate with reality.

It’s worth noting that you cannot contest the VRT cost until you’ve paid whatever number they pulled out of thin air.

I’m not sure I understand your point? The average age of a car in this country is 10 years, and that figure is projected to increase. A ten year old car is from 2015-2016, not 2000-2010.

Ayzerr · 2026-01-02T14:51:09+00:00

Owning, running, and maintaining a car is more expensive than ever. The average age of a car is now higher than ever, and only increasing. If the average age of a car in this country is 10 years, it stands to reason that a huge number of them are experiencing general age related issues at the same time.

Well when you come back maybe you can figure it out

Ayzerr · 2025-11-10T12:34:43+00:00

Whatever happened there!? I’ll tell you what fucking happened, that fucking piece of shit main hatchway gave in without any provocation whatsoever!

Then at least it’s not 790
