Could scrapage schemes have had a big part to play in that figure?
426 since June....it wasn't me
Of those, two more have working OSSSince this was done.. there are 426 less A2s in the UK leaving 13,107 in a country with 31.3 million cars on the road thats a very small percentage of about 00.42 of all cars on the road are A2s
Don't think numbers will get as low as my Audi V8 3.6 Quattro
I'm not owning A2 yet but planning to have one /very/ soon. On that note I have been contemplating how much would fit into my drive and 6 could be the number. Harder is to convince OH to have six A2's
But that is just another model of a Corrado... need to try harder to come up with how many Corrado Karmann Campaigns are currently registered ... I'm pretty sure there is 1 (maybe 2 at a push if you count Southern Ireland) currently road registered, with another three being "rebuilt"* That's it...
*At least two of them have been off the road for >10 years.
Sorry about the swerve, but the chances are that you might just need to replace the valves, which is far more economical than replacing the engine.SORNed my tdi90 as still haven't got round to fixing the snapped cam belt, will be back on the road....eventually

Already checked, head was b****red. All valves bent, hydraulic tappets took a hammering and are seized in their pockets, cam has small dents. The pistons look completely fine and all return to the same offset (and correct) from the deck with the dial indicator.Sorry about the swerve, but the chances are that you might just need to replace the valves, which is far more economical than replacing the engine.
Get the head off, have a look and if the pistons are damaged then you have lost nothing, if they are fine (they often are) you could have the bent valves replaced (ideally a full set) .
