Cheers! So I just get the kit?

Help needed please folks. I've read all the threads I can but being a mechanical muppet (can't put air in tyres without loosing the caps), I need someone to break this down into the simplest terms possible. A3 1.8TS Last service had advisory over "AR Bushes" From all I've read, upgraded is...

Site might look ok but this is a concern:

Had cause to google jabbasport today and google has it listed as unsafe http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=http://www.jabbasport.com/ First time I've seen one of these and concerning it's on such a prominent site. Does anyone from there come on here...? Maybe they'd like to know.

Thx for the responses... I want it to have A2DP for stereo music and not be hardwired to the back of the stereo. Anything else fits that bill...?

Because it *doesn't* have the functionality I want.

Quite fancy one of these and was just curious as to how it sits in an 8L. Has all the functionality I want but if it doesn't sit nicely, no point in progressing it!!

Any discounts...? ;)

I had one for nearly 4 years, only thing that went was the oil cooler hoses. In terms of maintenance, the cheapest car I've owned. Even did a couple of trackdays in it and it held it's own. I've got an 01 1.8TS A3 and would go back to a clean, late 20vt plus in a flash. The interior is a bit...

29.4, mostly urban, AC and sidelights on all the time. Lowest on DIS was 6 :D

Well, not too bad - a pass. Two advisory - Nail in offside rear tyre (grr, I consistently have trouble with tyres) Offside front inner driveshaft gaiter grease leak (bloke seemed surprised there weren't any clips...? But the other side was the same with no leak. That make any sense to...

Thanks chaps. Car is solid, garaged, well serviced, only 50k so I'm not overly concerned but when people start talking about AR bushes and such, I'm not in a position to confirm. Despite being a mug, I don't want to be taken for one!! A mate of mine goes to the local commercial place as they...

01 1.8Ts, serviced Jan, 2k miles since, new brakes all round last month, what are the odds of anything being picked up? Are there any borderline things they may push to have replaced or repaired that may not be necessary that I need to look out for? Dealer tried to tell me my (two week old)...

Excellent, thank you!! The "center positive" was the bit I was most worried about.

I got a phatbox off ebay a couple of monhs ago and it came from the US with a universal power converter, all was fine till the supply settings were changed by someone in the household to power something else. Now this person dicked around with both voltage AND polarity and I didn't take a note...
