Nice one Routledge, I'm sure a lot of this stuff will be useful for prospective a3 buyers as well :)

If you want to use it with your iPod I recommend the Alpine IDA-X305. Works brilliantly, lots of EQ options and while it may be a little bling, you can switch the illumination to red so that it fits in with the rest of the lighting in the car. Works for me anywho! :)

Just double/triple check that nothing is blocking the door card and stopping it from being seated properly. I had to give mine a good whack to make sure it was located properly. The individual components are weak but as a whole it should take a good thump with your palm and be ok!

I like the Porsche style alloys Jo Jo has. Some of my favourites I think, I tried finding a set but came up blank! :(

Mmmmmmmmm. Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2s!!! Delicious alloy flavour! I had a set of 18" RS6 reps... so heavy. Nasty unsprung weight!

Haha, safety first kids!! :D

Someone has been spending too much time on Call of Duty haha :P

If they come off a 56 plate they will most likely be 5x112 and will need adaptors to fit! I think you can get them from DPM but they're kinda pricey if I remember correctly. I had a blowout and where the wheel struck the floor it blew a chunk out!!!

I won't be buying a set of reps ever again... Lesson learnt... the hard way as always! :P

Hahaha, willy waving *logs to memory*

Hahaha! Showoff! Is your engine finished now Tuffty or will you be posting a similar picture in the not so far future with an even smaller number?!

Hehe, was not saying it was the fastest way, just that it's possible :)

I think all 5 gear a3's will do 60 in second, it's the six speed box that needs 3rd for 60 as far as I know... Also, I think power and gear ratios are not linked so regardless of whether you have 100 or 400 bhp you will still have to change gear at the same speed. (Unless you have the rev...

Sad but true...

N249 is more to do with the DV/Boost as far as I'm aware, don't think that fault code is relevant to ABS but I could well be wrong!

Barks, was the 'Juice' brown stuff all over the bottom edge of the mirror glass?! I didn't think the 'auto-dimming' was very good if that is the case lol.

Thanks chaps, I think I may just bite the bullet and take it to a garage as apparently you need a pop riveter (not sure if that's the proper name) for some parts of the reassembly. Thanks for your helpful answers all the same.

Yeah that makes sense, guess the only way to get a definitive answer would be to pop down the test centre where it was MoT'd and ask. Even if they're telling porkies you may be able to get something from their manner and body language!

Date of test:06/12/2006Certificate issued (Pass) Odometer reading:180,425 Date of test:23/08/2007Certificate issued (Pass) Odometer reading:85,018 Looks like it was clocked between 2006 and 2007 no? :/

Hi folks, Just recently I went to wind my window back up and I was treated a wonderful grindy sound! Once I'd snapped half of the bits on my doorcard I found out that the cable that goes through the motor has snapped. Mine is a pre-facelift and I was just wondering if anyone else has had this...
