    GAP Insurance

    I have GAP from ALA, no problems with them, I still had a few months left on an old policy on my Merc and when i asked for a quote for my A3 they automatically discounted the policy by what I had left on my old policy. very helpful and not pushy. But the real test of any insurance company is...

    1.2 S-line or 1.4 (150) COD SE

    I have the 1.2 S-Tronic, but a Sport. Mainly urban driving, and have no issues with how responsive it is, dealership gave me a 1.4 S-Tronic saloon for the day to test drive, can't say I noticed a huge amount of difference between them, well not enough to convince me to get the COD. I have done...

    1.8TFSI and 2.0TFSI S3 : Metallic Rustle/Rattle between 1500-3000 rpm

    Got it - works on the iPhone but not on my iPad. Mine is a different noise, seems slightly more metallic sounding and seems to do it more when both front wheels come down from a bump in the road at the same time. Rough roads where each wheel hits a bump independently from the other does not...

    1.8TFSI and 2.0TFSI S3 : Metallic Rustle/Rattle between 1500-3000 rpm

    After about 3 months of ownership (A3 SB S-Tronic) - i am getting a metallic rattle, it seems to be quite random when it occurs. sounds like a lightweight metallic rattle, I can re-produce it if I roll over a speed hump in my local supermarket but it does not do it over all bumps. Booked the car...

    1.2 TFSI vs 1.4 TFSI

    I have the 1.2, and really happy with it. The performance is more than good enough for day to day driving. To be honest having driven the 1.4 for a day (extended test drive from the dealer :-) ) I did not notice too much difference, both quick enough for me, both quiet and smooth enough with...

    A3 comparison

    Another thing to consider depending on your requirements is the poor load entry in the A-Class, rear light clusters get in the way. I know you should not choose a car on looks alone - but in the case of the BMW I made a exception.. Way too ugly :-( And as others have mentioned - the screen in...

    A3 comparison

    Hi, I recently purchased an 8V. Before buying I looked at the Golf and the Mercedes A-Class. Golf was OK, found the interior bland, very plastic compared to the A3, drive was OK, but the costs when specc'ed up were quite close to the A3. The A-Class, liked the looks, had one (SE...

    To Clay or Not to Clay ?

    Thanks for all the advice. After snow foam, wash, iron-x, wash the paint felt smooth, so decided this time not to clay. After Megs Crystal Shine polish, poor boys black hole, and 2 x Nattys blue paste it came up lovely. Then it rained :(. But at least I got to see the beading.. Smallest...

    To Clay or Not to Clay ?

    Yep sorry to say I can see it :( - would stick out even more on solid black - thanks. Will keep the clay for wheels and windows only. Thanks for the help. So hopefully all I have left to get is a wheel sealant and some fabric protector... I just better not tell the other half... spent far...

    Never seen it this bad before!

    Does seem very lenient ... Being a male model let's hope he becomes someone's 'special friend' whilst inside LOL He might think twice next time !! Does not seem that long ago someone else did something similar in Epsom in a Lexus and smashed into an upstairs bedroom - people like this should...

    To Clay or Not to Clay ?

    Thanks all for your help. Will check the paint after the iron x and the wash and might try to clay a small inconspicuous area to see what comes off if anything before deciding to do the whole car. I was looking at getting FK1000P for the wheels - or can someone suggest a reasonably priced...
