    Idle / lumpy

    I'm with RAC and their 'essentials' vehicle inspection is £135, not sure if this even includes a diagnostic, and their 'plus' inspection is £183! I can't afford that right now, even though I know this could save money in the long run.

    Post pics of your A3/S3

    Here's my standard 2000 A3 1.6 Sport. Still haven't got new alloys yet -- saving up! The car is dirty as I have just got back from a 2000 mile round trip to Spain, it was a joy driving this.

    Picking this up next week!

    Well done mate, my 1.6 A3 is also my first car and I love it - I'm sure you will too! Seems like you got it for a good price too. I'd hold off from getting alloys + a drop straight away. You're gonna want to save your cash for a few surprises you may find.
