I'd booked it into a local 'little man' for the cam belt, water pump and themostat to be replaced. He collected the A2 from my house (leaving his A4 Avant) and dropped it off 24 hours later. Pleasingly, he reported no other issues found. The parts were all OE VAG, and labour was £150-, which I felt was good value, even if its just mainly for peace of mind.
The next time I headed off to the supermarket I was pleased to see the water temps sitting at 90 degrees, and the heater keeping the cabin nice and cosy:
Next trip out is click&collecting bookshelves from Ikea, something I couldn't do with my Mini (even if a recent visit to a mappers has resulted in 273ps!).
Mini on the dyno before torturing its front tyres.
PS Anyone know how to reset the A2's dates?
