    Breaker help

    The driver's door on my 8L A3 has been reversed into by some **** who doesn't know how to park in a supermarket. Then, two weeks later, parked outside my house and I received a dinner plate sized impact on the rear bumper. Looked around for a replacement door, and none to be found. In the...

    more points for pro drivers??

    OK, first off, I do speed, but only when conditions in my earlier post are met. It is obviously not a fact of life, else everyone would be banned!! It's not a case of dealing with it, it's a case of behaving and when you misbehave taking the punishment like a man, not whinging because the...

    Total Brake Failure !

    It's really not that hard! And you can flush the engine while you're at it. Careful where you dangle the earh lead for the altenator! Mine slipped and blew a 110 Amp fuse!!

    H&R Rear ARB fitting help!!

    I told the guys to harden the f*%k up too, but they just said "they ain't gonna fit!" So we moved to the front, and needing to re-use the the spring seats couldn't get the damn nut off the top! Why is it every time you do a new job, you can guarantee you need a tool that you don't have...

    Where in the country are you? Could take you out if you're anywhere close (Cambs). In these perilous economic times, if you can spare £99, you'll save it many times over!

    more points for pro drivers??

    I'm sorry to read of the situation that you have found yourself in. The law MUST be written for the lowest common denominator i.e. the Moris Minors still out on the road. If the limits were raised to factor in improved technology, the users of those older cars would automatically, without a...

    Suspension questions..

    Thanks for the reply! 3. don't have one of those. Will an offset ring spanner work? 5. It's the inner CV boot. I've got the spline bolts M6 all the way up to something like M18. Bolts are M12 IIRC. Do you have/could you link a picture of the tool? Thanks again! Andy

    HELP! Dire straights!

    Hi all, I've just got my A3 back from its annual service and have found that there are a few things broken with it that need sorting for the MOT. The offside rear spring is broken, the ARB bushes are worn and the nearside inner CV boot is split. The MOT runs out on the 18th and I'm trying...
