    The Wheel Specialist (Derby) - anyone used them?

    Well... I bit the bullet and dropped it off today. Very modern unit with powder coating plant. Ready at the end of the day and the whole set had been done. Tyres off, blasted then chemically stripped and the kerbing marks repaired. I had them powder coated in OEM finish and they were balanced...

    The Wheel Specialist (Derby) - anyone used them?

    Had a quote for refurbing my 18" alloys few months back - looked a bit expensive. Had an email this week that they are touting for work pre-xmas at a discounted rate (£250 inc VAT) for a drive in service . Full strip, blast, dip, powder coat and lacquer. I know that everyone talks a good job but...

    S3 DSG Launch control

    Ive used it on occasions and I have to say that the ****** car is completely out of control when you do it! Feels much better to stick it in sport and boot it

    S3 oil change service

    Fixed price servicing is only for cars over 3 years old. The prices are higher for cars "in warranty" because Audi think they have a captive audience. In reality, they do because, although block exemption legislation exists, your Audi will maintain stronger residuals with Audi dealer stamps in...

    S3 oil change service

    Obviously the garage did the filter and reset the service indicator - lights, treads and pressures is a weekly thing anyway.

    S3 oil change service

    Got the oil level ight on at the weekend and a oil service due in 2 weeks warning so I topped it up with Castrol Edge 0-30 and wondered whether it would extend the service interval. Well it didn't so i called Stoke Audi to check the cost before booking it in. They wanted £190 to change the oil...

    How long....

    What a f***ing non thread. Every Audi car I have owned had the same full open/closure system and everyone knows how it works etc. Either get it disabled or take your keys out of your pocket. It's not that hard

    S3 take off :)

    Bump I was just having a browse at an S3 review on Honest John and came accross this in the "Bad points": "With DSGs and S-matics, protective software can delay the message from brake switch to ECU that brakes have been released, allowing car to enter a junction or roundabout on the fuel in...

    Nigel strikes again

    Nigel visited upon me today and hooked me up with a very nice 2011 RNS-E, new aerial gubbins and SDS high. Cost a good few quid but a fantastic job I have to say. There was a lot more to the job that I imagined and Nigel's attention to detail is impressive. I can well recommend him to all of you...

    WHAT TO DO???

    eBay will only find in favour of the buyer in a dispute like that. It's all they know! Do yourself a favour and refund the guy and move on. Galling as it may be, it will be less painful in the long run.

    Crewe Audi - RS3 in stock

    It's not orange just a crap pic. The car is Misano red which looks stunning really. The wheels are crap granted but would look ace with std rotor colour
