Hi guys, looking for a bit of advice. Was caught speeding at the end of June and when the NIP came through, I ignored it. All fine until last week when the police came to my house so I had no choice bu to admin I was driving. Yesterday, I got the Fixed Penalty Offer through the post. Is...

Yeah I do like the RS4 but my budget is about £20k tops so couldn't really afford one just now. Looking at an M3 from 2005-2006.

ah I have had a shot of a 400bhp cosworth. Amazing. I am going to try the M3, hard work when your pushing it sounds fun and exciting. Plus, I've always wanted one. After 1-2 years, I will go back to an S3. I just want to listen to that roar every day going to work and having much fun at...

Yeah thats what I'm worried about, me leathering it and it becoming tail happy!! At least I know where I am with the S3!!!

Yeah I'd be looking to get the previous model M3, a 2004 or so is within my price range. I've always wanted one and think to myself that I could get one, keep it for a couple of years then go back to the S3 (probs newer model although I like the older model better for looks). Liking the M3 in...

I thought a rwd drive car wouldn't handle as good as the awd? I like the M3 for looks, power, sound the engine makes, etc.

Someone help me to decide! On my 2nd S3 at the moment, between the 2, had an S3 for about 4 years now and love driving it. I've always fancied an M3 and thinking about getting one now. Trouble is, not sure I can go from 4 wheel drive to rear wheel drive! If I don't go for the M3, should I...

Think I will ditch the Wonder Wheels, have to wear gloves when cleaning my wheels with it cos its nips my skin a fair bit too.

thanks, will have a look at that site. Also, wheels have been kerbed a few times (women drivers!!) and was thinking of getting them refurbished. Anyone know anyone in the Aberdeen / Aberdeenshire area that is any good?

I normally use Wonder Wheels to clean my alloys but they don't look half as good as the pics I've been looking at on here. Was just wondering what everyone else used to get their wheels looking so good?

The same thing happened to me. I had the timing belt, tensioner, water pump and alternator belt replaced on Monday and the warning light hasn't came on at all since then.

My temp gauge has been playing up lately. When on a long drive, the gauge goes down to 80 (normally sits at 90) and if I sitting in traffic for even just 10 mins, the gauge to up to 120 and the warning light comes on. The warning light also comes on every morning when I start the car. Had...

I'm assuming the garage will do the coolant/anti freeze when doing the service / timing belt change? Apart from checking oil and tyre pressure, I don't know much about cars! I'm also getting the plugs changed. This car is costing me a fortune!

ok, will phone the garage back and get the thermostat and temperature sender done as well. Garage changes the tensioners and water pump along with the timing belt, so just have to keep my fingers crossed between now and 5th Jan.

I think I will get the thermostat done as well. I don't often have to sit in traffic, but when I do, the temp gauge does go sky high. And recently, it goes below 90 when driving at 60-70. Another thing, every morning when I start the car, the engine temperature warning light comes on. Got...

Should I ask for them to replace the thermostat as well then?

Yep I could run it for the 300 or so miles and be ok. Or the timing belt might go and I'm up s**t creek. Will phone a couplr of garages tomorrow and see when they can do it. Is the low engine temp anything to do with the timing belt? Also, I seen a few other posts that I should get the...

Hi, I'm looking for some advice on changing the timing belt. Got an 02 plate S3 with 65k miles. Its due a service and MOT in a couple of weeks and when I phoned to book it in, they told me the timing belt is due to get changed as well. I've read some other posts, and I should have had this...
