    I've carried out a quote and its £148 for 3 years Invoice Gap which seems to be the one most people go for so they don't lose out. Seems very reasonable and for such a price would be worth taking for £50 a year just for peace of mind.

    Thanks all for the input and views. Just out of interest, do any of you bother with GAP insurance? Thanks

    Pioneer CarPlay Headunit, has anyone got one fitted yet?

    Hi guys, I'm thinking of getting my wife a Pioneer SPH DA120 for her Audi TT Mk2 as she currently only has the standard unit that come with the car. She has the bose speakers etc. I've tried Autodab in it with the windscreen aerial but to be honest its a bit naff and never works properly or...

    :) Now why did you do that? Its completely thrown my thought process out the window I must say, i agree with the seats. The seats in my 320d are very very comfy and on long journeys i have zero issues, my last car a seat leon fr, those seats were awful on long journeys, back ache the lot. The...

    Exactly my feelings re the price for a 5 year old car. It seems I can get a very well speced m135i for around 17.5 - 18.5k and that's a 2016 model.

    This is why I like getting opinions as I never considered things which you have such as the steering wheel and seats being Shiney which could indicate wear. Supersport seats look very nice but I've read negatives above the comfort compared to the standard sport seats. I've not actually...

    Lads, I've not gone ahead with it, even though it had the correct spec and seemed like a great package/deal. I wasn't comfortable in sending him that amount of money even though I've dealt with him before. He was adamant he needed it upfront and any issues would be resolved and if i was not...

    Prospective S3 owner from 320d a BMW 320d

    Hey, don't get me wrong I thought exactly the same but after speaking with them over the phone they have confirmed the car will be in pristine condition and if for whatever reason I am not happy or spot something they missed then it will be refunded. Service history it has but because it's with...

    I'll have a look but to be honest it's something I've never considered. Proper service/maintenance is always the way forward. Another one re the car......the guy who sourced it seems to be getting it via auction from vindis group..... Has anyone ever got someone to source a car? If so how...

    Hey guys, I'm going to be getting the S3 in Daytona Grey, hopefully pick it up on the 25th. The place I'm getting it off is providing 6 months warranty with handler and says it's their good policy. He is asking if I would like this extending for 2 years which is approx £250? Does anyone have...
