Hello fellow A2 owners, I can hardly believe that it's been nearly a year since I posted last year's version of this thread. This post is to inform everyone that I'll be out of the country, and possibly incommunicado, until the middle of October. On Saturday 19th August, I begin the long...

Hello to all A2OC members, The purpose of this thread is to announce that I'll once again be based in Leighton Buzzard soon. At the beginning of the year, it was my intention to do a 'South East Residency' in the springtime, but various demands upon my time have kept delaying my trip. From...

Hello good people of A2OC, I have just returned home after 6 weeks away, mostly blissfully lost in the Italian Alps. Today, I have started the process of replying to all the messages that landed in my inbox in the meantime. However, for the potential benefit of those club members who live one...

Hello fellow A2 owners, I thought I'd compose a quick post to inform everyone that I'll be out of the country, and possibly incommunicado, until the beginning of October. A few days from now, I'm boarding a ferry to France and will be heading to the Alps for approximately 5 weeks. Having not...

Hello good people of A2OC, As many will be aware, there is a club social event in Aberdeenshire over the weekend of 25/26 June 2022. More information about this upcoming event can be seen here...

Hello good people of A2OC, First of all, my apologies for being very silent on the forum in recent times. This is, in part, due to being neck-deep in major house renovations. I appreciate that this has resulted in many club members waiting a long time for responses to private messages. Rest...

Hello A2 TDI owners, 5 years ago, the Pro Alloy intercooler was launched for the A2. There are now approximately 40 A2s fitted with this no-compromise component. With this post, I am opening another group order phase for the all-alloy intercooler, as used in my TDI120...

Hello good people of A2OC, The easing of the Covid-19 lockdown restrictions means that, once again, I am able to travel to provide A2 services. I'd like to thank everyone who has brought their A2 to me over the last months and supported me during these challenging and uncertain times. It is...

Hello fellow A2 enthusiasts, A few years ago, I had an idea, and yesterday I decided to make it a reality. What you see in the photos below is what appears to be a classic 4-spoke SE steering wheel. However, on the upper spokes are rocker switches with '+' and '-' symbols. These buttons were...

Hello good people of A2OC, Since the easing of the Covid-19 lockdown restrictions, I've only been working on A2s from home. I'd like to thank everyone who has brought their A2 to me and kept me (extremely!) busy during these times of great uncertainty. I'm acutely aware that I still owe a...

Hello A2 TDI owners, 4 years ago, the Pro Alloy intercooler was launched for the A2. There are now approximately 30 A2s fitted with this no-compromise component. With this post, I am opening a second group order phase for the all-alloy intercooler, as used in my TDI120...

Greetings to all A2 owners, For over a decade, I have been upgrading and repairing A2s. Having dedicated myself to just one model of car, I have intimate, specialised knowledge of the vehicle we all love. Countless reviews and recommendations are scattered across the pages of this forum. My...

Hello to all A2OC members in Italy. In May, I will be visiting your fantastic country. On Saturday 16th, I start a week-long holiday in the Italian Prealps, which finishes in Bergamo on Sunday 24th. I will then fly home. During this time, I will be on holiday, so I won't be able to work on any...

Hello A2 folks, On Sunday 4th August, I'll be travelling from the Dundee area back to my home in Lancaster. If you're not too far off any of the sensible routes and wish to have your A2 upgraded, please let me know ASAP. It's late notice and I won't have a huge amount of space in the car, so...

Hello good people of A2OC, My apologies that I've been rather absent recently. A few years ago, I started to have occasional difficulties with pain in my hands and wrists, which would invariably be worst when typing, using a smartphone, etc. More recently, the pain extended up my arms, over my...

Hello to our members in the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and northern France, I'll be travelling across the Channel in August in order to visit some friends and do some A2 retrofitting. I already have a few jobs scheduled, but thought I'd now make an open offer to others in the area. I...

Hello good people of A2OC. At the end of December, I posted this thread - https://www.a2oc.net/community/index.php?threads/logging-off-for-a-month.34352/ - declaring that I’d be off grid for a month or so. Outside of my work on A2s, I work as an audio systems engineer and had been asked to work...

Hello A2OC, Just a quick public post to let everyone know that I'll be incommunicado for much of January. At relatively late notice, I've been asked to go to Gabon (https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Gabon). So, all A2 work is on pause until I return and I probably won't be able to access this...

As many A2OC folk will know from previous posts, I like mountains. Unless I'm visiting friends in the Netherlands, holidays for me frequently feature mountains. I recently went to the Sierra Nevada range in southern Spain. The Sierra Nevada is a range with a very small footprint. However...
