    Coolant above max level: What adverse effects can this cause?

    Shouldn't make a difference, Can't see anything popping cracking or leaking. There's lots of room in the expansion "ball". It would want to get really really hot. and with additional coolant that might take a fraction longer. A lot of Garages/mechanics will fill that just over the max line just...

    NEW SERIES OF TOP GEAR

    As someone who lives in Ireland, where the State Broadcaster gets all the licensing fee and is also allowed sell advertising I have to disagree with S3Dave... While we don't have the revenue generated from License fee's that the UK does. A lot of the Money goes to paying the talent, be they...

    NEW SERIES OF TOP GEAR

    Very Enjoyable. Nice to see an Audi on it for once (even if it is an R8, we can only dream.) Is it Really Fair to compare an R8 to a Ferrari and McClaren?? Surely a semi mass-produced supercar like an R8 is in a different league from Handbuilt Supercars?

    Ashtray delete/non-smoker tray retrofit - Pic heavy

    This would require some wires to extend from Cig Lighter to up under the HVAC? What I do have is the Light Bar/Diffuser from the Ashtray, the LED from the Ashtray. I could Gerry rig them up, but need some wire to extend the wire up under the Storage Tray. Any Idea how to get the correct wire? I...

    Ashtray delete/non-smoker tray retrofit - Pic heavy

    Did this Mod Last night. It's Excellent. I just can't understand why there is no cubby behind the Ashtray, there's loads of room behind the Curved bit of Plastic behind the Ashtray... Now I have a Large (Probably 5" x 6") cubby for holding things. (So Doubt an iPad Mini would fit). Some Points...

    MY09 & MY11 3Door Rear Lights - Part Number - Photos

    Yeah. I'm going over tomorrow to pick up some other parts (No Smoking Pack and Armrest). Plus as my registered dealer I get a 10% discount on parts... Will definitely look at getting the MY11 Lights after Payday... They just don't seem to want to buy MY11 lights for a 08 Car. Probably along the...

    MY09 & MY11 3Door Rear Lights - Part Number - Photos

    I tried to order MY11 Lights off my Local Dealer to upgrade. I was told: What the hell is a Bulb Check Control System? My original taillights now have an additional Crack in them. I think they're breaking down bit by bit.

    Damnit!!

    The other half is out of Work at the minute and is going back to College in September. So Spending is already on hold. Don't think both of us out of a job will be good!! I wouldn't buy a new Car anyway. Quite happy with the one I've just got. Just needs a bit of Upgrading.

    Damnit!!

    You Get Overtime!! Ah I'll see how it goes. One of my Team Members has taken the Bullet. (He's got a two hour commute and was considering a move anyway). So I am probably OK. Just have to wait to see do 6 more people take the Money and Go. A Month Salary for each year worked. Its not too bad I...

    New to Audi - Addition Extras RNS-E and Cruise Control

    If its a Sport its got a few Extra's. I have just gotten a base model. Aircon, iPod Dock and Aux-in seem to be the only "Options". I came from a 2001 MkIV Comfortline Golf. So the Lack of Interior Light Pack, Cruise Control, Armrest and a Decent Cup Holder are slowly killing my soul...
