    A word of warning......

    [ QUOTE ] Gambba said: ....or you could try wearing something different to tight leather trousers [/ QUOTE ] Damn, my secret is out So far so good on the drying out front - everything still works, no bad smells (yet). The leather needs a good creaming (no obvious jokes there!) but...

    A word of warning......

    I left my S3 on the drive Friday night (normally in the garage). Anyway, got up Saturday and looked out and the windows were down - I must have somehow lent on the key in my pocket during the evening and managed to open them. It had been raining all night so the car was soaked (about 1cm...

    S3 rattling noise from passengers side

    I've had rattling from the passenger head rest. Took me ages to figure out what it was. Try holding the head rest when it rattles and it should stop if it's that. I haven't managed to completely eradicate it yet.

    Will TT pedals fit an S3

    Did mine last weekend. Clutch was the hardest, one of the corners didn't want to go on. Keep wiggling, it will eventually. Hot (and then very hot) water definately helped. I got the RHD acc cover for my 02 S3 and it fitted no problem - the easiest of the 3.

    New SPECS sites (Notts)

    Should've seen it coming though - how else are they going to raise the revenue to pay for the tram? It goes through all the scuzzy areas of Nottingham, so the fares will have to be subsidised from our speeding fines. Had heart failure when I read the original note as I had a very good run on...

    Problems with Revo

    I had the five hour trial a while back and the only problems I had were an occasional blip in power which basically was more pronounced than what I had experienced (and tried to ignore) with the stock mode. I still haven't booked it in to have that fixed. Other than that, the OEM brakes were...

    Launch of the NEW Audi A3

    I went to the John Fox launch last night. No piccies (digicam arrives tomorrow) unfortunately. They had two TDi's with various extras. They look at lot better in the flesh than all the magazine photos I've seen - but the back end reminds me of a Leon. Interior has a more modern feel with...

    NTL Broadbrand?

    I got Virgin Broadband which is essentially the BT service but 3 quid a month cheaper. Plus you can cancel anytime with a months notice as opposed to the 12 month lock-in that most providers force you to sign up to. So far it's been superb - would recomend giving it a look.

    Just got a S3

    Can't remember reading anywhere what extra strain the extra power puts on the rest of the car - the engine block is probably OK, but what about things like the clutch and turbo? Obviously clutch life depends on driving style, but with the extra torque isn't it going to burn out a lot earlier...

    Changing brakes

    My last two cars I had no end of trouble getting the discs off. All depends on if the little phillips screw loosens or not. If not you can always drill the head off - the screw isn't needed - it just holds it in place when the wheel is off.

    Anything i should know about my S3

    I just don't let my missus near the drivers door! Spare key tucked away. Biggest keys for a car I ever owned. My old 106 keys were tiny in comparison. It's like walking round with a brick in your pocket.

    Fascia Adaptors for A3

    I've got the Toledo one as well. Started with the standard two part but it looked woeful. Can't remember which website I was on which came up with it - probably Autoleads.

    Daddy or chips ?

    Friend of mine drove an Audi chipped TT from the Macclesfield dealer. Appararently theirs would cost about 1500 quid!!! Nice Audi mark-up as usual
