    Very cheap deals on Castrol Edge at Homebase!

    Very good deals on Castrol Edge at Homebase. Castrol Edge 5W 30 1 Litre is £7.98, nearly half the price other retailers charge for a top-up bottle. Check your local store's stock online before you go to make sure they have plenty, my local store had 12 so no problem!

    Removing rear lights on Sportback is awful pain (DaveR can you assist!)

    Brake light needed replacing on Sportback today, what a pain and awful design! Followed instructions in book but removing the light from the bodywork is difficult, no wonder they warn you in the manual you may damage the paintwork and should take it to a dealer! Looked up the diagrams...

    Noticed my clutch pedal is squeaking rather a lot, quite loud too. Washed car, went out for a 20 mile run, got back and squeaks quite badly. Any ideas, warranty runs out in a week?!!!

    A3 going in soon for the 2yr brake fluid change. Do they have to take off the alloys as part of this to bleed the brakes?

    Getting a top deal if you have a p\x ?

    I'm not changing car but was interested to know people's experiences of getting a top deal if they have a p\x. When I purchased my Sportback, I had no p\x and didn't want finance and got them to match the internet price I had. This was all quite simple and painless. If you have a p\x, are...

    Driving to work this morning, some idiot pulled out in front of me so instead of braking hard I pulled out and went past him as the road was competely clear and very wide. It was only after passing him that I noticed a white transit van with a camera picture on the side and some guy at the...

    Creaky Door\Window Seals (the curse of)

    Well, was ok all over the summer. However since washing my car 2 weeks ago and the onset of the colder weather, the driver's side creaks like anything again!!! Usual thing, if you dab the window switch to lower the window by about 1mm it all stops - but that is about as effective a fix as not...

    HELP PLEASE - Coolant Level??????

    My car is an 05 petrol Sportback, just under 6k miles and I've been monitoring my coolant level for the last few months. After a drive the coolant level in the reservoir is on the top of the bottom most X next to the minimum line (perhaps 1cm above the minimum line). The next morning...

    Stone Chipped Alloy - advice please

    Whilst doing the weekly clean of my 5 Star Alloys I noticed a chip on the inside of a spoke on one of my rear offside wheels - it is about 3mm diameter. Presumably the best way to tackle it is : rubbing it smooth with a little wet and dry, carefully building up a bit of silver touch up...

    Underneath the car at the rear infront of the exhaust back box are 2 large black metal arms that appear joined in the middle and go outwards to the wheels, the suspension springs sit in them - sorry, don't know the technical name! They are painted black. On the top edge of both the black paint...

    Leaving a\c on in winter and if so what setting?

    It appears to be good advice to leave our climate control on all year to lubricate the seals or use it for 30 mins a week. If this is true, is leaving it on Auto at 22 degrees during the winter enough? Or should it be set to blow cold air periodically as presumably unless it is blowing cold...

    Appears the 1.6 S-Line is now available, who's first in the queue?!!!!

    I see from the website price list that you can even order a 1.6 S-Line now! Clearly a marketing plow to win more sales, sheep in wolf's clothing and all that! Kind of cheapens the S-Line image imho. Removes the exclusivity from when it was only available on the more expensive\powerful cars in...
