Hope these help. I did it to my B7 A4 & my A3. Can't remember which car these pictures are from, but the o/h console appeared the same in both and all the connections were identical as I transferred the LED block from the A4 to the A3. LED connected to spade connections with red & green wires...

LED that fits behind the overhead console costs £10 from the dealers. It connects via 2 spade connectors to which are fairly obvious when you remove the o/h console. I drilled two holes in my standard facia plate after careful measuring and it worked/looked great. There is a guide on the...

Well, it arrived......... 318d M-Sport with 5,000 mile on the clock..... I wasn't expecting an M-Sport at all, so today has been a good day. It's got 17" wheels + runflats so I'll see first hand how the ride is with runflat tyres. It seems good so far. Has Bluetooth + Elec fold...

I've been told now that the finance is being arranged tomorrow, so I can pick up tomorrow. I've heard this a couple of times in the past week, so I'm not holding my breath. Won't post again now until I've got it + pictures..... On a side note, I did some acceleration tests in the B7 A4 2.0 tdi I...

Aythreee - That's a fair point on looking into the 2010/2011 financial year, as I worked out last night i've already paid off £550 of the supposed underpayment during this period..... so I owe them a little over £900 now, not £1,500. However, my Tax code was wrong again for 2010/2011 so I think...

Just come home to a nice letter from HM Revenue & Customs saying I owe them money..... £1,500. Reading the 6 pages of calculations and guidance notes it's because: Wrong Tax code 08-09. Wrong Tax code 09-10. It changed to claw back underpayment from 08-09, but they didn't claw back enough...

No news today unfortunately:(. The car is in the dealership, but as the company I now work for has just been set up (therefore has no trading history) they are struggling to to arrange the finance. Some customers we've always used won't give us a credit account for the same reason + our operator...

Company owner has an M3. Very tidy.

635Csl is a cracker. No option to turn the job down as it was a TUPE transfer. Basically another company has taken over the contracts the team I work within manages. We either accept the new contract (which cannot reduce our pay, holiday entitlement etc), or decline but in doing so waive our...

123d.... I wish

I've had a look inside the 1-series/3-series and I do prefer the A3 inside. The A3 interior is by no means new, but it's aged well while the BMWs look bland in comparison. My boss has a 320d (184 bhp) as he took the car allowance and bought privately, but I've not been in it. I could get a 116d...

After covering 30,000 mile in 11 months, my car has to go back as I've changed jobs and it's a company car.... Has been reliable, plenty quick enough and a well equipped, comfortable place to cover the miles, so it will be missed.:bye: I'm feeling mixed emotions however, as my new companies...

@Steve L - I used a company called Smashgard (think they're based in Northants), bloke called Darren. The job took a while, but that was because he redid one window as he was unhappy with the finish (I couldn't see what was wrong!). @Pazaz - I think light smoke is 35%.

I had my Sportback windows tinted (B pillar back) with 35% film. Cost £170 and came with a 10 yr warranty. I'm very happy with the job and it's lasted a year with no visable defects. I didn't want it too dark and 35% is just about right for me, wouldn't want it any darker. Couldn't recommend...
