eventful day!!
Yesterday, I went out for a drive in the STI and was driving down a dual carriageway and something in the engine went POP!!
Total loss of power, and just kept stalling!, Pulled over onto the grass verge opened the bonnet and found one of the intercooler pipes had come off!!
Sorted that out and now running fine again, I went into Tilbury early and when I came back, one of the side lights is now missing!

You're not wrong, scared the crap out of me!!
Thought I had a pair of side lights from my first scoob, just checked my garage and I haven't. Must off fallen out, the clip that screw on the top of the lights has broken
Also I'm going to need 2 rear tyres soon!!

I had an intercooler pipe pop (well blow) off once, on the way to MENCAP, I cannot describe how far down my heart sank, I thought it was another engine failure. 
Few juicy clips and a new pair of pants later it was all sorted.

yep in from around half six.
Altho probably leave it till a bit later as the A13 will be busy.
on the journey from east london the stretch from basildon/saddlers is the longest bit.
