    My New TTRS Alloys 18" in Gloss Black ;)

    Upgrade your phone first so you can get some decent photos. What phone is that?? iPhone 3G I reckon? But seriously, nice rims. Contact user NHN on here for prices for rear lights, he's a site sponser and can install them too if coding is needed. Did a lot of work on my S3 and he's a top...

    Built in ipod/iphone player help !

    Yep SD slots are the best really! What I use on mine day to day, as I even though I've full AMI now, I can't be ***** to keep plugging the iphone in and leaving it in the glove box. With the RNSE Mk1 you can get 2 x 4GB SD cards. If you have the newer MkII (which sounds like you have as...

    Built in ipod/iphone player help !

    Oh and if it's the older style ipod system, like the one in your first post, its utter cack anyway and just works by treating your ipod/iphone as a CD changer and using the first 6 playlists as though they were CD's. So no track info or ID3 tags etc. Just track 1,2,3,4,5....etc Terrible...

    Built in ipod/iphone player help !

    Most likely your 3rd party Apple Lightning adapter mate. Only the proper apple ones work for full audio support and control. Got a proper apple myself in my car and works fine with the AMI and RNSE from my iphone5. But yeah maybe just grab an older ipod or iphone to double check it all works...

    Do a search. This had been done several times but very expensive as you'll need new front wings too.

    Haldex nightmare :-(

    I can imagine your local specialist drained the haldex and diff oil to change, then only refilled the haldex and left you with a dry diff. Hence the noise and yes it will have ruined your diff and it will now need replacing at a cost of several thousands. I had the same issue with a...

    NEW OEM BRAKE DISCS GOING ORANGE??? HELP!!!!

    Squeaky discs can often be fixed by ensuring the edges of the pad plates and backs of the pad plates are coated with some copper grease before they go in the calipers. As for going orange, yeah they can lightly rust over pretty fast.

    anyone having problems with a whine in 5th gear

    I had this from the offset with my S3. Almost sounded like it was coming through the speakers and only when in 5th gear. I thought it was normal until I drove in another couple of S3's similar to mine. I was still just under warranty and Audi dealer had it for about 3 weeks as they kept...

    Advice on storing car for winter

    Totally agree with all the comments of the S3 being the idle car in the snow! Amazing beast in the snow and shoe it with some winter tyres it's pretty much unstoppable. Just remember to get the road salt blasted off and get a good few coats of sealant on now and it should last till the spring...
