    saying goodbye to my S3

    Perfect choice of car you won't be disappointed - make sure you get a warranty and the RMS has been replaced.

    Crunch going from 1st to second gear

    The garage had it for a day a couple of weeks ago and "said" they adjusted the linkages and put more gearbox oil in - why do that if they couldn't demonstrate any fault? Anyway, I have booked it back in for 2 days next mon & tues. Thanks for the replies, maybe it is a characteristic of the box...

    who has a 1.8T Quattro

    Get one of these trims - I did, they are designed to fit the 2 x pipes on the standard audi backbox, no need to cut the bumper it sits just underneath. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-Golf-Beetle-Audi-Skoda-Seat-Leon-Exhaust-Trim-Tip_W0QQitemZ220024823354QQihZ012QQcategoryZ38786QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

    De-bobbling alacantra seats?

    Any tips on removing watermarks, I had a bunch of flowers on the front seat and they have left a wet patch which I thought would just dry out as it was only water but its left a ring - my seats are the cream colour. Thanks

    Crunch going from 1st to second gear

    Hi Guys, I have read a few posts on this and my car crunches on changing from 1st to second. It happens if you change gear quickly. If you change slowly it is fine. My car has 48K on the clock. I have a warranty with the car, took it back and 2 x "mechanics" said they couldn't get the gears to...

    Do a search?

    As a new user, doing a search brings up some useful info but often it is linked to out of date links so you need to ask again.

    White Dials

    Just been down to Audi where they powered up the dials and they are showing 15 000 miles, my car is 49 000 miles so they have refused to fit them point blank. So if anyone wants to buy a 2003 cluster with white dials fully working please pm me!

    White Dials

    Hi Guys I have bought a white dial instrument cluster and Audi want 1.5 hours to fit it, which I havent got much choice about as it has to be reprogrammed to the immobiliser. However Adui have said they cannot adjust the mileage so it will read whatever is on the clocks that are fitted!! Where...

    The Fantastic Porsche Cayman S

    Why not buy a used 911 with Porsche warranty?? You can extend it until its 10 years old, c£900 a year, haggle it off the price if it hasn't got it already.

    Porsche 911

    I only ever buy metallic black cars, my A3 is metallic black too - gives me an excuse to wash it more often (the Porsche that is :anbet: )

    Porsche 911

    I chose the Tip because it was what I wanted. It took a lot of searching for too and I had to travel up to Glasgow from Sheffield for it. I love automatics and the Porsche is a dream. I have a Basalt Black C2 3.4

    S3 to M3....is it worthwhile ?

    Do a search on reliability before you buy.The extended warranty is expensive - from memory it is around £1000 (same as Porsche) but with Porsche you dont have to pay an excess on any claim whereas with BMW M3 you do. I personally think BMW coupes have a bad image but that is just my opinion -...
