Anybody got a link or an email address for a good alloy refurb company - Scotland if possible, UK if not. Only a small kerb scrape but doing my head in and need it fixed! I can send it (without tyre) as it's off the car - there's another one on the car I'll switch it with if the first one...

A man with a bald head and a wooden leg is invited to a Xmas fancy dress party. He doesn't know what to wear to hide his head and his wooden leg, so he writes to a fancy dress company to explain his problem. A few days...

Help. As title, the dust caps are stuck on and I need to blow up a tyre! Some swine stole the last set and the local garage didn't have normal black rubber/plastic ones so I bought metal ones - obviously cheap crap - and now they won't come off. Tried half a can of WD40 but no luck. The...

While on his morning walk, the ex-British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, falls over, has a heart attack and dies because the accident and emergency ward at his nearest hospital is too understaffed to treat him in time. So Tony's soul arrives in Heaven and he is met by Saint Peter at the...

I searched and found an old August thread started by 'staz1000' talking about 7% on the S3, but rather than bring that one to the top, can I ask again - anybody get a discount on an S3 in the last couple of months? Also, if you had a trade in, did you end up getting less for your old car, as...

Long story short, but a warning to all Audi drivers with M&S Motor Insurance - I changed to M&S recently from More Than, saved quite a bit, it all went easily (done on line) and quickly. No problem. Today I got a letter saying they were still waiting for 'proof of security device' so I...

What's a ... just remembered - black grill?? and what's (I had selected the dearer Symphony audio) In the drop down menu, it doesn't say anything? And if you have Symphony what's the plus in having the CD changer (am I right in thinking Symphony takes 6 CD's?) Why don't the drop...

Normally when the DRL's are on I'm in the car - obviously! I see the reflection sometimes in the car in front so I know they're working, but I had occasion to be out of the car while the engine was running today, and I was at the back... no lights??? Is that right/normal or should they all be...

OK, had this on both my A3's, but they both have/had DSG. How does CC work with a manual box? I didn't think it could but it's on the S3 configurator thingy on the Audi web site:confused:

I'm on my second A3 with DSG. I've had this one since November and it's only got just under 3000 miles on it. When I reverse out in the morning (I'm on the flat by the way) I don't usually touch the accelerator, there is enough power to slowly pull out (it's a tight turn) without it. I've...

My new A3 has more pressure options on the petrol flap than my old Sportback :confused: The numbers on the tyres (Pirelli) are - 225/45 ZR17 91W The options on the flap include - the 225/45 stuff followed by - R17 or XL M+S or M+S Which of those 3 should I be using :rolleyes: Many...

My nice new collected on Wednesday A3 is steaming up! No other car I've had with aircon ever has, and more importantly my last A3, always left on Auto, never did either. Is there a simple test I can do (non technical - don't get me in the engine with wires :redface: ) to test it and see...

Sorry if this is a really stupid question (and I may have picked up a comment in another thread totally wrong) but does having the 2.0TDi have any impact on tyre wear - i.e not engine size but diesel rather than petrol?? :redface: :redface:

I emailed an admin type person a few weeks ago, then tried a private message to Olly K (I think?) but haven't heard anything back. I know it's not the biggest or the best discount/offer in the world, but I figured with the great driving roads we have up here a few of you might be passing and...

By all means call me a cynical dog, but over my 50 odd years I have been frequently disappointed, if not totally incensed and disgusted, by the average company’s Customer Service. Here, for those who chose to read it, is a genuine (no I don’t work for them, or have shares) experience of what...

I've been reading a couple of threads about using a PC for car polishing... am I getting it wrong or do most people only use it for applying the wax/polish and then still buff it by hand to it's final shine with a microfibre, or do you use the machine with a different 'head' on it?

I've got a road angel (about £300?) but it's a bit pricey for my daughter. She's seen a snooper model at around £130 ... any good? Opinions / comparisons appreciated

2.0Tdi DSG, 17" alloys, CD changer, Cruise, Leather, Heated Seats, Rear Parking Sensors, Electric Lumbar. Bought July 05 & only 6696 miles on the clock, BUT... wasn't my spec at the time (just close) I took it because I didn't want to wait 3 months. My own spec with other extras like interior...

An ambitious yuppie finally decided to take a vacation. He booked himself on a Caribbean cruise and proceeded to have the time of his life ... until the boat sank! The man found himself swept up on the shore of an island with no other people, no supplies ... nothing. Only bananas and...

I've got this on my A3 Sportback. When you engage reverse it usually gives a short bleep, then nothing until you get close to something, but recently, and more frequently, sometimes when I flick it into reverse it give a longer, higher pitched tone? It's like an error/fault sound but...
