    S3 Drivers in Scotland

    Would it be bad form for an A3 driver to wave? I used to have a Range Rover and waved at almost all other Land Rovers, most waved back. I've only waved once in the Audi and got a dirty look from the other driver.

    FuseBox

    I'm in the same situation. Only got the car two days ago and it won't charge my phone from the lighter socket, I also have no illumination down there. Is there an online list of what the fuses do? Is there also a workshop manual (and an owner's manual) that I can download from somewhere?
