    My mint saxo written off last week.

    Hi there, while the A3 is a far better (and likely quicker) car, if you had the suspension set up on the saxo done well, take it easy in the audi for a while, it wont be as chuckable.

    Audi Recall ( all petrol engines)

    Got mine done on Monday, they did however give me a 'free' check up and 'found' £1400 worth of work!!!!! The fact their recording sheets have the words 'found' and 'achieved' next to the costings tells you a lot about their business model and motivation focus on generating money. The only...

    is this dealership talking rubbish?

    No I didn't check the airbag fitment, tbh I thought the two different types were round or shield, I didn't realise there was 2 different shield airbags, nevermind, hopefully lady luck will be with me, if not I'll have to buy one - d'oh. Do you (you being anyone who is reading this!) know of...

    Hmmm, a scan you say? Where would I get one of those done, any decent independent garage or is it specialist? Yes, I have cruise control too.

    is this dealership talking rubbish?

    Oh, and I also asked for a list of phones for which they sell a cradle for the dash mounted phone holder (of which I have one), he said they didn't have a list but if I get him the model of the phone I have then he would see what he could do - But I need a list to know which phone I can buy, grrrr.

    is this dealership talking rubbish?

    Hi, I just went to my local Audi dealership to arrange a service (I've had the car a few weeks and want the first service to be at the dealership in case its missed any recalls). I spoke to the gent at the desk and he said a couple of things which seemed odd to me, is he right: - My car has...

    Pictures of my new Audi S3 Black Edition in Ibis White

    Very nice indeed, I saw the exact same car in Barrow-in-Furness today! I thought, luuuuurvvvly - but I agree with you on the wheels front, those remind me of rx8 wheels (they are very nice btw, just not the best imo).

    BMW Mini... cool?

    Those pics are of the R53 (the old one with the heavy thirsty engines) is that the one you are after? They are solid little motors and handle very well, R53's are v thristy in 's' form. I had the R56 (turbo) JCW one for a couple of years, loved it, very nippy and very economical. The only...

    Mayonaise on oil cap - diagnostic help please.

    Hi, I've a 2006 2.0T, a couple of weeks ago I noticed a white film on the inside of the oil cap, I wiped it off and after approx 1k miles I've re-checked, there is the beginnings of another thin white layer of oil/water mayonaise. There isn't very much and I haven't noticed the coolant drop...

    What car shall i get next?

    This is very true, and back on topic, it might just be my biased view but the 987 just looks so much better than the 986, and the 987 are a little out of the price range, knowing the 987 exists would preclude me from getting the 986, even if it meant getting a different car altogether... did I...

    What car shall i get next?

    I assume you are reffering to me with that drivel, re-read the posts my good sir, I fear there is a fanboy here, but it aint who I think you were referring to. EDIT/HINT - a mirror will give you a clue ;o)

    What car shall i get next?

    I never said it was better than a porsche, I'd have my old 987 any day, but lets stop this mine is better than yours nonsense. though I do think you need to seriously check your source for the weight differences ;o)

    What car shall i get next?

    Jeez, have you driven both? They are very different cars with very different characteristics, but in terms of track performance they aren't a world apart by any means or by any sense (heavier 280bhp vs lighter220bhp). I was in front but could not get away, lol, stop the hating with jap cars...
