My car is struggling a bit to turn over when cold and the starter motor seems to make a much deeper loader noise than it should. I have had the battery tested and that's fine is there anything i can do to the starter by the way of cleaning lets say to make work how it should (its done 124k) or...

Has anyone fitted 16 inch winter rims from an A4 to their Allroad? Thanks Iain

My a3 1.9tdiq is running well still giving over 50mpg uses a little oil every 10k, still toying with the idea of a remap (blacksmoke) but i as it's my daily driver and i do 30k a year i really don't want to start wearing things out faster than necessary, just wondered if anyone else has done...

I am going to be doing some bushes round the 4 corners of my A3 q shortly and just wondered if there was any preference for which of the above manufacturers i should be looking at? Thanks Ian

Hi folks, any recommendations in Sussex ideally looking for someone who knows to align a quattro A3 as i have the rear tyres wearing on the outer edges and i believe the back end is adjustable as it's the same as TT. I could go to Audi granted but i would rather not for usual reasons! Thanks Ian

I spent an hour or so doing this today and thought it might be useful to others who want this also for coolboxes or whatever. As per a previous post i didn't manage to find a permanent live in the boot so ran a wire from the fuse box. You need topop off the fuse box cover and remove all the...

Is there a permanent live i can tap into in the boot, i am about to fit a power point and juts need a bit of a heads up. Ta ian

I need to know how to get the bottom outside door trim off, i can see there are 2 screws holding either end, but does it slide off or pull off? Thanks Ian

I am curious as to why you have to disconnect the battery when doing this, is it live all the time? Clearly i don't want it going off in my face. Thanks Ian

May seem a silly question but if the car has sat overnight and without turning the ignition on, if you removed the airbag in the steering wheel what would cause it to go off, as it can't have any power going it? The reason i ask is i don't have the code for the radio and really don't want to...

Has anyone else experienced this since upgrading to Xenon's and if you did how the hell did you fix it? only happens on radio 2 or so it seems Thanks Ian

I decided before splashing out for either a rebuild kit or new motor to see if it's possible to clean the nozzle on the end, well it is you can carefully pull out the metal silver ball with the hole in it with a needle (don't use the wife's sewing stuff she won't like you for it!) then pry out...

Whats the best stuff to clean these with?, hose pipe and then wd40? mine don't work although the pump runs (well it does now the blown fuse has been replaced) it' mot time saturday and i need them to work. Ta Ian

Ok call me tight but i don't feel like spending £8.00 for 2 blobs of sticky plastic to block the beam pattern when driving in europe, am i ok to use electrical (facelift plastic headlights) tape to make up the required pattern? Thanks
