Do you mind................. Hand crafted polypropylene climate control.

OK , there's a slight delay with parts , piston rings that arrived were standard apparently mine are oversized and need +2 size , I'm assuming this makes sense ?

The engine's previously been bored out by 20 thou then. It's getting there!

Just back after a week. All looking positive. Soon you'll be back on the road and off the bus .

So, WTF is the score with this? Does it work now?

Your expenditure for a S3 is pretty typical.Hopefully if you get your MOT you will have a a hassle free period. If not done in the recent past what is the suspension and drive system like?
