Audi S5 – 1000 mile review I thought I’d pen down a first impressions review of the S5 and its talents after finally getting some decent miles under its belt across the best of France’s D roads (equivalent of our A roads) and E roads (motorways). It’s hard not to compare and...

Ever since I've got the car (pre-doing any VCDS coding), the coming home lights have never worked. This is how the car is set up: 1) Main light switch is ALWAYS left on auto 2) In MMI, the exterior light setting for coming home lights is activated Last night I went out to get something...

I've recently come to the conclusion that I am becoming a couch potato, and even when I go out in search of thrills I tend to be cossetted by a plush arm chair in a cosy car where I'm doing not much more than a bit of steering and pedaling! So I decided it was time to get back into an old...

Hi T8ups Great to see your car at ADI, and glad you didn't sustain any lasting damage after the excusion. Car looked stunning! I'd like some bulbs if I may: 1) TT-RS (59 plate) 2 x Number plate bulbs (exterior) 1 x Boot light 2) S3 (61 plate) 2 x overhead festoon bulbs (3 LED) -...

Last night I had the opportunity to take a test drive in a RS. One of my neighbours has made the switch from a latest series Focus RS (modified to about 450bhp), to an Audi TT-RS for a bit of winter grip and plushness. I've been masterfully avoiding driving an RS for some time now because I...

Today we headed down to Castle Combe to the Forge Action Day, an annual event that Forge have been holding for the last couple of years. After cutting through the dense fog on the M4 by Swindon the sky soon broke and glorious sunshine bathed the track for the rest of the day. The Action...

Taken from Scoobynet Very much appreciate it if you would take the time to have a read of the following thread which relates to a tragic situation where a chap on Scoobynet is losing his 11 year old son in a battle against cancer. One of our admin (FactionOne Rob) has made contact with...

Evening all I'm not a regular in this part of the forum being an S3 owner, but I've just visited Revo / Stasis HQ in Daventry for a software update on my car, and whilst I was there I was lucky enough to test out their new S5 Sportback for a day. I'll be honest (and apologies in...

Whilst I was wandering round at Le Mans back in July I saw the new A3 which was closed inside a glass stand. Public weren't allowed in to see it, hence only outdoor shots. Looked much better than mule photos suggest. Roll on the hot ones....!

:motz: I work my **** off all week, and in the main the weather is reasonable and predominantly dry whilst I'm chained to the desk looking out the window. The TV news bangs on about hose pipe bans, drought, less water per head than Somalia.... And then I wake up on Saturday morning hoping to...
