Even starting 15 mins late, I still caught up before the end. Just shows how much padding there is. Especially the dreaded 'coming up', adverts, recap.

That's more like it.

Nice gearbox fix, odd that it seems quite common on first and second, but not the other gears when they will almost certainly be the same parts.

Exactly the same as me! paused for around 15 minutes, and it came back to real time TV just as the last set of ads finished!

I'm watching it live on +1 right now.

OMFG, the first adverts just happened, 1 minute before the adverts to tell me what's coming up, and what felt like 3 minutes telling what I'd already seen after the adverts. FFS, I've just been yelling at them to just get the fk on with it. They're still not even in the workshop yet, another 3 minutes of 'banter' at hand over. GRRRRR....... mad

As Edd said, it was frankly amazing that the part didn't rattle around and then get lodged somewhere and munge the entire gearbox. Somewhat of a miracle, in fact.

Good episode!
It'd be a brave DIY'er tackling a Quattro system on their drive! But just goes to show how easy some fixes are (once you get to the offending part).
I once swapped out a Suzuki Baleno gearbox - but that was a small in comparison. Not sure I'd want to tackle a Quattro TT!
Mike & Edd are very entertaining to watch now! I actually like Mikes humour... the XXL skies laugh

No way is a prefacelift 140k mile TT worth £3650! My last MK1 TT is being sold by my mate, who I sold it to, for only £4500 and I bet he would let it go for £4k ish. It is a 2002 facelift, has pretty much full Audi SH, is in fantastic condition and only has 76k miles on the clock.

More wheeler dealer fantasy.

Yep,how dare they sell it for that when your mate only wants 4k.

I like when they buy modern cars and show you can make a few bob.

But again they overspent. £300 for headlights is ridiculous. A breaker would charge £50 each for ones in mint condition. I think a £20 3M restoration kit would have done the job.

Then he mentioned the leather interior was a bit knackered but didn't show him doing any restoration on them.

You're accusing them of lying about how much they sold it for?

I really enjoyed that episode. How may people will get caught out now though, buying audis with knackered gearboxes, hoping that's the problem lol
