I love a thread like this. Keep up the hard work.
The first time I did the oil on mine I couldn't believe that had been signed off by anyone. I just take off the lower boost pipe and get more access from below. Have you changed the fuel filter yet? Class craic altogether..Small update, Oil service done today. It's covered a massive 3500 miles in the last year lol.
Anyone who owns one and services it themselves will know it's a pig of a job due to the oil filter location so I'd been putting it off as much as possible. (27mm flexhead ratchet spanner makes it alot easier.)

Bought myself I new jug which makes filling the oil so much easier. Also managed to drop it removing it from the box hence the super glue and tape around the spout .
I had bought a set of modular steel wheels for it but didn't like the look of them and sent them back.
Managed to get a set of 18" Evoque alloys of Marketplace for Ā£100 and currently in the process of painting these satin black. Then will be sticking some AT's tyres on them.

Still have glow plugs to fit and a Evoque intake manifold as it doesn't have swirl flaps but struggling to find time to get both done
