    cylinder layout to replace coilpack

    i've got a misfire on cylinder 3 - pretty sure it's going to be a coilpack - but rather than fannying about and swapping them over to find out what cylinder is what, does anyone know the cylinder layout for the AMK engine while i'm looking at it from the front of the car? Cheers

    Replacement door.

    I know about the door blade being on the s3 and not the a3, but would i be able to put an a3 door on rather than an s3 door, as looking at pictures of a bare door, i cant really see the difference?

    clutch pedal "broke" - is it salvagable the way it is?

    I know i'll need to replace the black clip here - but i take it it will be too much hassle to put the metal part that broke off back on with some chemical metal or something - or ask a mate to weld it on again (even though it's TINY!) I've seen the guides on replacing the pedal - the only thing...
