    I put it on AutoTrader. I had 25+ calls/emails in the first 5 days and ended up selling it for £3.5k more than I was expecting, and £7k more than I was offered by a Mercedes dealership to part-exchange for my next car. Really happy, obviously!

    Before I do it, I wanted to check whether there are any rules on this forum about posting adverts of cars for private sale? (I’m selling my S3) Thanks!

    Will this tyre get through an MOT?

    The nick you see here is about 1cm long, I don't know the cause (the actual wheels got off mark-free, luckily!). There are no threads visible, as you can see it is the rim protection that has been damaged.

    Thank you. Here’s the exact car I’ve ordered: https://www.mercedes-benz.co.uk/passengercars/content-pool/tool-pages/car-configurator.html/summary?Mcid=MES5U83S I used coast2coastcars.co.uk and managed to get £5,237 off the list price. Luckily the dealer that made the offer is only 25 miles from...

    Goodbye and thank you!

    Estimated at late April/early May at the moment but the dealer is playing build slot tetris right now. I did take a drive. The ride is marginally harder than the S3, I hear the A45/35 is harder still. The difference wasn't significant enough to sway me, obviously!

    Goodbye and thank you!

    I wanted a step up with my next car. If a new RS3 was imminent then I'd have likely gone for that. I don't know for sure of course, there's not too much to go on yet. I wanted a 4 or 5 door and did consider the RSQ3 Sportback but when I went to see the Mercedes I was very impressed. The stats...

    Goodbye and thank you!

    Hi all - I've very much been a reader of this forum since I joined in 2017. Today I ordered my next car (Mercedes AMG CLA 45 S Plus Coupé) so the countdown to saying goodbye to my S3 begins. It's been a great car, the best I've ever owned. I like to keep it in good condition and it still turns...

    Facelift Disable car?

    Thanks all for your help. I disconnected the battery in the end. Tomorrow I’ll be off to the Audi dealer to get a new key and have that and the one I do have reprogrammed. It’ll mean that if someone tried to use the key then they’d be able to get in and start it, but the engine would cut out...

    Facelift Disable car?

    This is a long shot, what with it being so late (in the UK, anyway)... I managed to lose a key this evening. It’s one of two for my 2017 Audi S3. I’m at home now with the car and have my spare key with me. Can anybody help me with a way to ‘disable’ the car? If my lost key is found by some...
