In short - where the f**k is it?? I picked up an S3 8l on Friday, had one years ago and now circumstances allow another money pit :) So while I await for the various new and replacement bits and pieces to arrive I've set about trying to sort what I can for now. The wing mirror switch appears...

Looked to be Dolphin Grey, reg started with S300. Got an approving nod as I past him, held pace with me through the traffic then left at the junction with the A45, anyone on here?

Awesome thread! I can't remember the name of my first bike but I do remember it only had a front brake, I know now that the rear brake was activated when you stopped pedaling but try explaining that to a 4 year old. I also remember going down very a steep hill, using the front brake and turning...

Shouldn't you be holding onto the steering wheel??

CAD modeller. By my reading we now have design, CAD, engineering and fabrication people all on one site. All we need is a financial backer ( maybe an R8 owner) and we can build whatever we want! ASN Death star anyone??

We can't stop here, it's bat country

Oh the joys of world politics. looks like I'm going nowhere anytime soon then. Sara's current Visa is a student one and expires in June so we applied early as her last Visa took 6 months to come through. If I request my Passport back it invalidates the Visa application and we lose the fee...

We are trying that too but a lot of people are speaking to the Passport office and the work secretary doesn't really have the time to be sat on hold for an hour. I was only asking on the off chance that someone on here has had a similar bind and has some knowlege on the situation. The forum does...

Hi, I'm in a bit of a situation and was wondering if anyone has been through this before or something similar. I recently got married to an American who is studying at University in England. We decided that Sara would settle over here with me and have applied for a UK partner visa. We sent off...

Ok, had a look at the guide. I'll get it booked into the garage tomorrow, might as well get the timing belt checked out. Thanks for all the help

Hi Tufty, Thanks for the response, you are correct with your guess, it should've read 16705. The car has 125000 miles on it but the timing belt appears to be in good condition, no teeth missing etc, I'll go down the speed sensor route first and see if that resolves anything. Is this an easily...

Already been on Ross-Tech. The idle is fine, it's when the boost kicks in that the problems begin

My S3 has spent the last 3 months on my parents drive gathering dust. My Dad drives it every week for a few miles just to keep things ticking over. While I'm back home for Christmas I thought I'd take her out for a spin. All was well until about 5 miles in and the car developed what feels like a...

I was a Movember first timer this year and managed a semi respectable amount of £270, £85 of that was from the new mother in law so either she believes in the cause or just really likes men with moustaches. Something that doesn't sit right with me tho, I have a second cousin who is a fund rasing...

Don't you people know a racing stance when you see one? Low at the front, high at the back is the way forward, failing that it'll make a great ramp for a Moto X bike I'm not so sure bud, I reckon that mostrosity devalues the house prices in whatever postal code it resides.
