    B8 RS4 - what’s it like as an everyday?

    Sounds like the running costs of my disco 4…….. and v- power unleaded is cheaper than v-power diesel…… just need to convince the wife now!

    B8 RS4 - what’s it like as an everyday?

    I too would be very keen to get an update on this, I’m currently in the market for a s4/s5/rs3/c43 amg but would love the rs4. My man maths is saying 27mpg is the same running costs as my discovery 4 which wouldn’t stop me buying another discovery!

    How many of us are bikers?? Show off your wheels.......

    I’m still new to biking. Does anyone use all year rider to treat their bikes- acf50 etc? Think it’s £70 or so for a full detailed clean and treatment. Or do you just do it your self?

    Tyres in the snow

    My a6 came with uniroyal rain/sharkskin tyres- not my choice but still good tread. Now I live in Aberdeenshire in a wee village and I had no problems with the snow and ice! I won’t buy these tyres again as I prefer 4season tyres but either they are great in snow or my allroad is just a beast. I...

    Any fellow bikers on the forum?

    Yeah I like the triumphs- I hear conflicting stories about reliability occasionally- I will probs buy an older one hence the 600 as I don’t want an expensive first ‘big’ bike. My wife plans on a street triple or a bonniville after the ninja

    Quattro vs 2wd snow tyres

    Can’t get f1’s at £79 a tyre for my a6- it’s got 245/45/18. The uniroyal’s seem to doing the job so far - not my choice but hey ho. Pain in the *** choosing tyres- sporty s3 is easy choice. Family a6 , which doesn’t get thrown into corners, harder choice ironically

    Petrol vs diesel/dpf vs towing

    Good idea. Is there a difference between getting the dpf removed and deleted? As I've heard if it's removed it can cause issues at mot time?

    Petrol vs diesel/dpf vs towing

    hi I'm planning on changing my car -a3 2.0t. Planning on also getting a caravan so the newer car needs to be able to tow the caravan/loaded car/family & dog etc. naturally this makes me go down the diesel route and that would've been fine a couple of years ago but now every damn diesel has a...
