Small world, how times have changed i now make do with the oem headunit :)

Hi mate thanks for having a look for me i appreciate it. I already emailed that guy but i got no reply. There is no number in and of his dozens of adverts. Also the one i found on ebay is not far from Broxburn. edit - after emailing him again he said the wings are sold :)

I remember years ago ring around all the breakers but that was a nightmare, the breakers actual websites dont have any info either of their stock etc. I have already spent countless hours on ebay looking for people breaking A4 b8 near me or searching for parts and breaking cars using my paint...

Thanks for your reply. Ha ha nothing to lose i guess but its the only one available. Is there any of these part websites worth trying or are they a rip off too?

Yeah thanks for your reply the price of wings on ebay are all over the place. This is the only one that is the right colour for that side so im not in a position to argue. When you weigh it up against getting it painted its a price i might have to pay. ;) Thanks for your kind offer matey but...

Hi guys i found one for sale and it is the same side as the damaged one and the correct colour. He said he can do it for £90 collected. Overall it looks ok an would let me get the one side done for now. Is it an ok deal for this condition and the right colour? There are a few chips too. There...

Thanks for your reply. I will try and source genuine rust free wings, ideally the right colour but i will keep my options open to any colour. Thanks for the info and link on those stone guards its hard to imagine those guards make much difference but definitely worth doing after fitting and...

Thanks for your reply. Do pattern parts tend to be a bad fit? I agree about the bumper. Should i go for wings with no rust or is a little rust acceptable if i plan on getting them painted Anyway? ;) Thanks for your reply mate ;) Thanks for your reply. I spent some time on ebay but a lot have...

Hi Guys. A few months ago i bought my A4 Saloon 2008 B8 it is Ice Silver LX7W. I got it at a cheap price due to rusting arches. The other day i had a slight bump and i was thinking of repairing it myself cheaply rather than claim on my insurance. This would give me an excuse to replace both of...

Yeah the same bulb used and 2 are required per headlight. To be honest i dont think the extra cost justified spending £40 as the improvement is only slight.

Im glad to have faith in him then. Maybe its the Borat-esq voice that makes him sound unqualified ;) That is very fly of them mate. I got my oil service to 9400 and 365 days, the inspection service was double that, it sounds about right but im unsure if im defo on the fixed servicing or not...

cheers mate as long as the fakes work thats all that matters for a few bucks.

Thanks for all the good info mate. Ill have a look in my glovebox and see if there is any connectors there.

Thanks for your reply. Sorry to hear about the wasted Vin thats the downside to using this kind of software there is no room for errors. Once i have more time ill try that technique and see how i get on doing all the channels manually. Its not that difficult as long as it work in the end. Out...

Ok mate thanks for your advice, not easy with all this snow lying about. I tried to pinpoint the fault, rooting around under the wheel arch and levering the bottom of the disc brake with a lever. It sounds and feels like the noise is coming from the upper arms but i be sure, i need to do as you...
