I have a spare Maison Blanche camping pass going. All you need is a car your passport and a credit card!! PM if interested. Andy

got mine from Forge :)

The driver's door on my 8L A3 has been reversed into by some **** who doesn't know how to park in a supermarket. Then, two weeks later, parked outside my house and I received a dinner plate sized impact on the rear bumper. Looked around for a replacement door, and none to be found. In the...

OK, first off, I do speed, but only when conditions in my earlier post are met. It is obviously not a fact of life, else everyone would be banned!! It's not a case of dealing with it, it's a case of behaving and when you misbehave taking the punishment like a man, not whinging because the...

Your statement has the possibility to the uninitiated and ignorant drivers on the roads (not that any here are) to make them think that "it's ok if I stray over the limit cos "I didn't mean to Officer!" " No one does got out purely to do some good speeding, but the majority of the time one...

I thought there was a recall for an issue similar to this a couple of years ago. I'm sure I had a brake pipe replaced FOC at Audi.

It's really not that hard! And you can flush the engine while you're at it. Careful where you dangle the earh lead for the altenator! Mine slipped and blew a 110 Amp fuse!!

I told the guys to harden the f*%k up too, but they just said "they ain't gonna fit!" So we moved to the front, and needing to re-use the the spring seats couldn't get the damn nut off the top! Why is it every time you do a new job, you can guarantee you need a tool that you don't have...

Good thinking that man. It's an A3 1.8T

you will need a small universal joint to get to the drivers side bolt. Make sure you get a new o ring in the box.

the clamps don't see to go around the beam, the bars and the bushes. :sob:

Afternoon all, just fitting my rear arb and the clamps to hold it to the rear beam aren't big enough!! they are the ones that came with the kit, but they don't leave enough room to do the bolts up!! arrrrhhgghghghg!!! What's the solution people have used?? thanks!!"

Where in the country are you? Could take you out if you're anywhere close (Cambs). In these perilous economic times, if you can spare £99, you'll save it many times over!

I'm sorry to read of the situation that you have found yourself in. The law MUST be written for the lowest common denominator i.e. the Moris Minors still out on the road. If the limits were raised to factor in improved technology, the users of those older cars would automatically, without a...

Thanks for the reply! 3. don't have one of those. Will an offset ring spanner work? 5. It's the inner CV boot. I've got the spline bolts M6 all the way up to something like M18. Bolts are M12 IIRC. Do you have/could you link a picture of the tool? Thanks again! Andy
