    still looking for a Black S3 guys

    Totally agree jojo, I test drove an EP3 and felt like I was driving a mini van. Still quick to be fair but I felt sat in the air and it didn't feel anything like driving my little EK My friends DC5 was a far superior machine though You can get an EP3 very cheap though now, there's so many of...

    still looking for a Black S3 guys

    I know Deece, after it took me so long to find it too! When I bought it in April though a decent RS4 was still well over 20K Now i'm seeing great 'sounding' (haven't been to look at any yet) RS4's for 16K, credit crunch and all that I guess Because of the credit crunch and the amount of money...

    still looking for a Black S3 guys

    I have a black one that i'm considering selling Matt, depends what you're looking to pay? I've just had the cambelt & front anti roll bar replaced at Audi (big expense out the way and should be good for a long time), full service at Audi in April (day after I bought it), i've replaced all 4...

    S3 or Mini Cooper S

    The Mini to me comes across a bit Chavvy with all the different styling options. I think it will date really quickly too (already think it looks a bit plastic) whereas the 8L still looks fantastic IMO I've yet to come across anyone on the road driving a Mini the way it could be driven. All the...

    Erratic headlight switch

    You push the actual turning switch forwards/inwards then turn it to the left, it should lock in place and this unclips it from the dash. then just pull it out and disconnect the cable plugs. To be honest they didn't look serviceable and I don't think it's a problem with the LED's on mine, it...

    Erratic headlight switch

    Hey Wibble, ditto! I have exactly the same problem with my Switch, on when you first start the ignition then 10 seconds later the Dipped & Main Beam LED's flicker and go out leaving only the off '0' lit up partially I took mine apart, there's 3 LED's, centre and right go out I found if I...

    Brake Pads

    right guys they've been on a while now and I still wouldn't recommend them for the cost! they're good when they're warmed up, very good, never seem to fade but I do seem to have to push harder to brake the same amount as with my old OEM pads! seem to always have a bit more braking if you need it...

    Brake Pads

    Ok cheers Kev, i'll persist with them for a few weeks then. I got the impression from the instructions with them and what other people had said that if I gave them a good cook then let them cool down on the motorway (away from braking) which I did, they would be good to go. I'll see how they...

    Brake Pads

    Ok, all fitted, first impressions are 'not worth the expense'! They're Ok, and much better than OEM when warmed up but when cold they're not. There's also alot more travel in the pedal to achieve the same amount of braking power but once you're in the bite zone (that's what I'm going to call...

    Brake Pads

    Nice setup Harry! I see you've got the DieselGeek short shifter, what dyu think of it? I'm eyeing up one of them as the S3 gearbox has to be the worst i've yet used in a car and will try anything to improve the use of it! Did you fit it yourself? easy job? was the adjustment & setup fairly...
