Oh and never been tracked, has always been our second car and one round trip to Greece :rockwoot: If you stare at it close enough you can just see the needle is past the 140 and nudging 150mph! :thrashi: :undwech:

Attempting to link some images of my S3 taken earlier today following a good wash and polish and about 10 secs before she got ****** on again:banghead: Gotta be honest and say that she's not quite as shiny as the external photos make her out ot be here...don't quite know why they...

Thanks guys, all comments appreciated and no offence taken. I am a serious seller, albeit reluctant one, so will negotiate within reason if the market's not at £12,500. I have listed it on exchange and mart starting today for £12,500 which appears reasonable starting price in amungst the others...

'esp' i think is standard at least it was from 2002 onwards.

That doesn't sound bad. What year is a 'W' reg?

You're right prawn it's only worth as much as someone is willing to pay but I've now also had a look at other used sales sites and only been able to find one or two low mileage ones like mine and quite a lot of 55000+ milers (most for over £11500 and without the Bose/Symphony). I hadn't...

Thanks guys. After posting my original question a work colleague also suggested I check Parkers (as per 'voorhees' advice). So adjusting for the pearl paint and Bose/Symphony package I hope to get around £12.5k like 'madvw' said. I hate to see it go but I've had five good years with it and since...

Guys, what do you reckon I could get for my S3. I have had it from new and has had only me as owner: Car specs as follows: 2002, face lifted version with 225hp. Ming blue (pearl paint) Very low mileage 39700 miles (it has always been the second car in the family and I mainly drive wife's car...

33 when I bought it and 38 now. 12 stone then and now. Unfortunately the in between years saw a weight change of 2 stone - none of it in a good direction until recently!:rockwoot:

Thanks for that. Have already spoken to him - sounds like a nice guy on the phone. Looks like in worst case can cost up to around £800!!! Or as little as £500/600 if no extra parts need replacing once opened. Only problem now is coming up with the readies and making my way down there and back...

If it grinds as you shift from first to second at high rpm or even downshifting from high rpms (even if you toe-heel) then chances are it's the syncros that are screwed (although I'm not 100% certain about it). I can't remember having this problem earlier on with my S3 it's only been in the...

I have a ming blue (post facelift) 2002 S3 with under 40000miles. Everything on it is standard (bit of a crime really I know) and since finding this site have spent many hours searching and browsing thru the threads and gotta say probably one of the best out there. So I figured if anyone can...
