Car has been off the road for just over 3 months ( long story ) but I’ve got the EML light on with fault code P0420 ( catalyst system bank 1 efficiency below threshold ) so it looks like the cat is on its way out and not doing it’s “job” ( was also flagging this up intermittently before being...

Mark,it baffles me as to why you are having so many probs with my old car ? It was faultless when i had it and if anything once you were used to the initial turbo lag and the boost came in over 3500rpm it would pull like a train all the way up to the max with no hesitation or misfire ? I've been...

Sorry to hear that mate,its really strange because as i said the car never missed or had any hesitation at all right up to the day i drove it up to Chester ? Did the garage service it & perhaps they may have altered a setting when re-setting the service indicator,i know i'm clutching at straws...

Hi mate,yes it was my old car - decided to pass it on after a year and a half of ownership,get something a tad cheaper as i'm getting a T5 camper van so thats why i got the R32 and loving the noise !! So did the car have a re-map and how much of a difference is there to it on the road since...

Did you get the car sorted out today bud ?

Its on a 58 plate with 14,000 on it,it has full leather and tints but it has'nt got the buckets :sob: its in red which i liked because there's not many of them about in that colour they always seem to be in blue or black ! A.T.B Leo

Well after almost 2 years of ownership i've decided to move on and sell my Solar S3,she was a gem with the buckets and S5 alloys and never let me down but i've gone for something "cheaper" - i've gone and got myself a mint red,one owner,low mileage,3dr R32 !! Reason i wanted something cheaper...

Thought i'd just pop this thread back up for Peachy (Lauryn) as she is interested on putting S5 alloys on her Solar S3 - hope this helps you out ! A.T.B Leo

I had the Astra VXR before my S3 and in all fairness it does not suffer that bad from torque steer as people think,now 3 cars prior to that i had a Mk1 Focus RS and they really do torque steer bad,was quite weary driving it when i first had it,but after getting "used" to it i loved it and was...

Knowing my luck some numpty will probably smash into the side of me !! She's staying put :) A.T.B Leo

Here's mine - wont be using it until we have a good thaw,using the company van at the moment ! A.T.B Leo

Hi all,i've just noticed a quirky problem with the climate control - when i first un-lock the car and then open the door the LED's on ONLY the Econ and Auto buttons are glowing at full brightness,then when i start the car they go back to their "normal" brightness ? It does'nt do it all of the...

Thanks,does anyone know how many connections the dimming mirrors should have ? A.T.B Leo

Hi,i have a problem with my drivers side dimming rear view mirror which does not auto dim since i've had the car,i removed the glass today to take a peak and see if it was anything obvious,the 2 wires were connected to the glass and there was a "spare" black connector plug in the mirror housing...

Anyone know please ? A.T.B Leo

Hi all,after reading numerous topics and posts regarding the weakness and failiure of many DMF's particularly on the S3 i'm getting a tad paranoid !! But how do you check if its on its way out and are there any symptoms ? I've got an '07 S3 with 26,000 mls on and is totally standard and it will...

Dont know wether to lower it or not,sometimes it "cheapens" the look of cars and makes them look a tad "Max powerish" plus if the wheels are rubbing now surely i'd have more problems ? Where do i get the Lamin-X from and how much is it ? A.T.B Leo
