    Would you buy a Golf R or an S3 if you had the choice (again)?

    Have an S3 Sportback so would go for that again as it is bigger than the Golf and looks better IMHO. Cheaper too!

    Magnetic ride

    The switch is actually down by the handbrake and it tells you in the DIS as you toggle between the two settings. I have it on an S3 and a TT and love it. It only became an option on the S3 with the mid 2008 A3/S3 facelift.

    S5 - Red or Cream leather?

    Ditto - Audi don't do cream leather very well.

    Bluefin or Revo install ?

    I'm running Bluefin on my 3.0tdi A8 and am very happy with it. I've previously used DMS who are great but expensive. Bluefin is very handy and the Superchips service has been excellent so far.

    S4 Tyre Recommendations please?

    Well you have the best tyre you can get on it. S4's came with the Pilot Sport and the Conti Sport Contact 2 IIRC. Nothing wrong with the Dunlop - ran them on an A8 and they will be cheaper. Remember to get 'Extra Load' rated tyres.

    A8 4.2 TDI my08 suspension mod?

    Well the diesel V8 is about 150-175kg heavier than the petrol V8 and its all over the front wheels which is bound to affect the handling a lot. Alternatively was the petrol V8 car equipped with Adaptive Air Suspension Sport and the diesel one with the regular Adaptive Air Suspension?

    S3 Service at 4.5k

    Yeh, you've got the 08MY car so not as much of a problem.

    S3 Service at 4.5k

    You've got the same problem as a lot of people with 07MY TT's are reporting over on the TT forum. My 3.2 TT is doing it too and is set to variable

    S3 Service at 4.5k

    You've got an 08MY car - everything has changed.

    Is this true?

    Try phoning up an Audi dealer to 'sell' an R8. I think you will find that the bid will be below the cost of the car (incl options). Bear in mind that these cars typically have £10-20k of options fitted.

    Air Con Service

    How frequent are you meant to do this? My three year old S4 is getting a bit smelly so probably time. What does an a/c service involve over and above a re-gas?

    Which options!!!!

    Xenons great. I once owned two S4 Avants - one with BOSE and one without - and wouldn't pay for BOSE. Its vastly over-rated IMHO.

    How loud is the alarm supposed to be

    The one on my S4 Cab is very quiet.

    S4 question (B6)

    That's a good price. Trade on a three year old saloon is c£20k so a 2.5 year old car with low miles and some warranty left for £23k is good value. Two questions, though: 1) What is the spec? Low spec cars can be hard to shift; 2) Is the dealer's warranty any good for the period after the Audi...

    A4 3.0tdi

    As fast as an S4 only if the road is dry.

    Back to the fold, in a S4 Cab Style

    S4 Cab was launched May 04. They are great. Manual cars can be bought for under £30k now retail.

    DIS MPG figures

    [ QUOTE ] DIS is always 10%'ish out and always on the generous side! Been discussed to death on here and other boards. Only reliable method to work out consumption is the old fashioned, manual way. [/ QUOTE ] Ditto but my 03 S4 was more accurate than the two 04 S4's I have had.

    S4 Front Discs

    I've got 34k miles on my S4 Avant with the original pads and discs. I'm in Scotland too - which dealer are you using?
