    tyres (again...)

    Anyone yet tried the new Pilot Sport 3? I've just ordered 2 for the back of the A3 & managed to get £115 each all in (225/45 17) Main dealer quoted £125 for ContiSport 3 so this looks like a bargain S

    Tramlining?

    Ever since collecting my A3 in January, I've been a little uneasy with what feels like tramlining, over lane joints, white lines etc. But trying to consciously assess it when it happens, the feeling is more like lateral movement at the back, a sort of wiggle you sense under you.

    Headlamp question

    Greetings all When I collected my A3 3 weeks ago during the handover I was shown some torx screws on the headlamps and told 'that's for changing the lamps for foreign driving' :rtfm: no they aren't........ So does anyone have a template for the masks required, and a diag for their...
