Thermostat and sealing O-ring. Every engine needs one of these, regardless of what your mechanic may tell you:

The arrival of t-die's thermostat, hood release cable and handle marked the end of the wait for all parts to arrive. Everything's now all boxed up, and will be delivered to my freight forwarder to be air freighted to Nigeria.

Including a loo? Will there be toilet facilities onboard the Audi? This is one re-engineered auto that I've got to see.

Ran my VIN through an Audi VIN Decoder this morning. Thats a must do for every car so you can get to know the detailed specs of, and information about your car. Could come in handy someday.

Today 28th June 2013, t-die's goods departed for Nigeria.

Usually, I get goods picked up by courier, for delivery to my Freight Forwarders. But, with today being a Friday, it would mean the goods will arrive at the Freighters on Saturday, a day they don't work. So the next possible delivery day would be Monday. Goods are freighted every Friday at 16:00 hrs, so the logical thing to do was deliver the boxes to my Freighters myself.

So by 13:10 hrs, I loaded my car for the trip across Central London, and dropped the boxes off. Regardless of how well they're packed, they are always repacked before weighing. Once this is done, I present the details on a slip to the cashier, who then takes details of the recipient, AND payment. I'm given an invoice, which has the customer reference number, then my work here is done.

Boxes loaded into the car:

The packers strap as much of the boxes as possible together:

...Then finaly, the strapped boxes are wrapped securely in black cling film. So well wrapped, they'll survive a tropical downpour while they're waiting at their destination airport - in this case Lagos.

Siena: ...then my work here is done.


Ummm... Your work here is not yet done o... grin I would still need some remote support every now and then.

Anyways, my appreciation goes out to Siena, he has been of immense help, wouldn't have started this project on a Naija used "dreaded" Audi(if you get what I mean) without his support and advice.

For now, I sit back, soak Garri wink and wait for my items to arrive...

^^^ Thanks, Uboma. We aim to please. And the automobile is something I've always been interested in, especially the DIY / semi hands-on approach.

I too will be following this thread with keen interest. cool

Well I might as well come out of the closet, I've been secretly following this thread though I'm a Honda man. tdie has been so inspiring that I plan and hope to start servicing my car by myself soon.
And as for the chief priest himself, siena, you're the ultimate Guy's Guy.

Great work Tdie and thanks for the inspiration. I stumbled on this thread while I was suppose to take my babe out for brunch. You can bet she is mad at me cos I wouldn't move an inch until I finished reading the thread. Pls don't let us beg for update. So what color are you going to spray the baby monster when you're done. We never see pics of the chromes wey you won put.

The hidden post was promotion of sale/service, which is not allowed in Car Talk. There was nothing different between that post and advert.

Just because I commended Siena for a job welldone and promised to contact him as soon as I have need for the supply of parts, is that y u hid my post? Can't one commend a good work? @ Ikenna351, before now I saw comments of other members bashing u on how rigid and demeaning u can be, I never knew their accusations were true until now. U just proved it urself. I wish u would open my comment for others to see and judge whether it was a sales advert or not. My feeling is that u are just being jealous of Siena in the way I commended him for being explicit and honest with the supply of t-die's parts. I'm aware that u refused to heed the counsel he offered to u some time ago, hence now is ur time to get back at him indirectly. Well you can continue to sulk for all I care...
