Well Kev, you've hit the nail on the head. Its all prams and kids who want to eat and drink stuff in the car so as you say the touran is the vehicle of choice. That said I have insured it and its going for its MOT tomorrow. At that stage I can tax it and I'm quite excited about it. I imagine...

Hi All, I've not been on here for a while, a new addition to the family, baby number two, and an out of work wife meant I had to park my Beloved S4 up and sorn it. Now things are getting better, wife found a job so with two incomes again its time to get the girl out again. Thing is we needed a...

Hi Buddy, Good choice going for the Hyper 7. Where abouts in the country are you? My suggestion is you go to a club and ask some of the guys to run it in for you. Not only will they help you run it in but they can check how you've done the linkages and everything is set up correctly. I'm in...

Parts = Cam belt kit, complete with all idlers and damper, poly vee belt, water pump, thermostat, gaskets, Filters (fuel, oil, air and pollen), Fluids (oil, coolants and brake fluid), 6 spark plugs I think thats everything. I'll check the receipt and edit if I missed anything. But what...

I would have thought they'd suggest you do it at the same time. I asked around and came up with a list of parts thats best to change whilst having the cam belt done, that tied in to what they suggested. So I went for it. They did all the fluids, filters all the bits I already covered. Basicly a...

Guys, for anyone in the northwest, I've just had a cam belt and major service on my S4 at C4RS in Leyland. One of the guys who owns it spent 4 years at Audi so I had confidence in giving them ago. Can't fault it, all OEM parts, right oil, everything as I wanted and expected. £370 for parts and...

Hi Blue, I'll put my name on that list. I was talking with Aragorn about us driving to see this chap on a saturday morning and getting our two done while we wait. We are both struggling to be without the cars for whats likely to be a week. I've had to register on SRS but will post on that site...

Dave, you have a PM

I was told because I live in the crime capital that is Preston they couldn't offer me a quote? I think it maybe better for Sky to post where and who they will cover, it'll be a very short list, and the rest need not apply. They are very helpful and friendly people, lets take nothing away...

Just my experience but tried Sky tonight, after going though the 10 minute ins and outs they decided they couldn't insure a 30 year old professional couple on a 2000 S4 doing 5k miles a year. We both have an SP30 from 2006 and we had a minor accident last year but 8 years protected no claims...

Hi All, I'm after some advise relating to my protected no claims discount. My Wife and I have a 2000 S4, both over 30 and driving for 13 years each, she has a SP30 and 7 years no claims. We paid £600 for insurance last year but sadly has an accident last September which wasn't a driver...

Hi Guys, I think I've sussed the strange rumble coming from the back of the car when turning tightly. I think its the rear control arms. I've got some ordered from Jason at All German Parts, they should arrive tomorrow. My reason for this post is to find out if its a straight forward swap...

Guys, I swapped the tyres on the old girl today. Whilst it was jacked up with the wheels off I was having a good look round. I noticed the rear roll bar bushes. The two bushes where it attaches to the car. They look to be split but they could be a two piece bush. Can anyone offer any insight...

Thanks Kev. I'm looking into getting a replacement item. I can't find any articles online regarding servicing the unit. While I'm looking at this will any other audi wheel and air bag fit the B5 or is it age and type specific? Thanks

He's one to test you clever bods. My steering wheel squeaks and its driving me mad. I have tried taking the wheel off and greasing various parts but it hasn't made any difference. I have been told, by various people, the steering wheel sensor could be the cause of this. In a few weeks I'm...
