Please share this page with any women you think might be interested in going on a track day, help us boost the page and get the word out!

Driven Life - women-only trackdays are organised by Suzy Wallace with the aim to help women take the first step into track days, no pressure, plenty of support, no rushing, no male ego’s.

The community these event days has built up so far is awesome - a group of petrol head women who now all love driving on track, chatting about cars and supporting each other.

If you think you want to be part of something like this or you know someone who might please send them in the direction of the Driven Life pages ☺️

Thanks everyone 👍

Mk2 Golf 1.8T

Issue it came in for - overheating due to coolant issues.

Issues found while here - large oil leak, no boost control, actuator adjusted so much it was locked so wouldn’t boost even if it was asked to! Multiple exhaust blows,

Solutions - replace failed water pump (cam belt at the same time), test and replace thermostat, re-route coolant hoses as they were wrong, clean out header tank, remove turbo to replace split oil feed line and gaskets, set actuator, swap N75 plug from the coolant sensor it was on to the N75 valve it should be on, fit correct length bolts holding the turbo to the manifold as they were so long it caused an exhaust blow, relocate oil pressure sensors.

Now can use the car he just bought and although we have a short list of ‘to do’s’ on the car it is hopefully going to be reliable from here on 🤞🏽

Successful first full round at Oulton Park coming home with a cup for P2!

Joe Bullen drove well, the car performed and pretty much everything went smoothly with only some set up adjustments done through the day while Joe got his head back in the game after the Donington wall incident.

Well done and thank you to all involved, onwards and upwards from here with more adjustments and upgrades to the car on the way…..
