    £30k budget - What car would you buy?

    What about the SQ5? May not be in the £30k bracket yet but gives you space and good fuel economy. However not as much fun as an RS I suspect

    LED/HID washers MOT

    I can't see the site. Do you have a link as that will help the OP? OEM xenons are much better than halogens imo

    2.0T MPG at it's worst and best

    £70 of V Power and all I get is 345 miles! Don't even drive that fast but guessing has something to do with the S logo

    LED/HID washers MOT

    VOSA has closed and are you sure you haven't just googled someone's opinion of the old guidelines that were produced before the mot test was updated? Copied from here perhaps? http://www.phoenixautobulbs.co.uk/tp/hid-kits-new-legislation-2012/ Where in official documents does it say it's...

    LED/HID washers MOT

    What's illegal pal? Exam question is 'Do we need to fit washers to aftermarket xenons?'

    LED/HID washers MOT

    Yep everyone agrees need projector lenses and levellers so don't blind oncoming people. Query was around headlight washers and looks as though this is not a requirement

    LED/HID washers MOT

    The DFT guidance seems to be ensuring that projector style lens is used for HID's which everyone agrees with. Seems there is no need for the OP to install headlight washers from an MOT or Legal point of view.

    LED/HID washers MOT

    MOT is vague pal - hence the query and why no one seems to have failed their MOT for not having washers and after market HID's. Does anyone know why xenon's come with washers on cars? All the rules must have a good explanation behind them.

    Disappointed with my S3 today but only for 4 more days!

    I didn't take my bluefin off for it's last service with Audi - should I have done?

    LED/HID washers MOT

    I upgraded my previous A3 to xenons and never had any MOT problems. TBH I wish my current car didn't have headlight washers as hate the water going all over my bonnet making it attract dirt when i'm just wanting to wash my windshield. How does a dirty xenon affect other road users? If it's...

    Time for a new battery - suggestions?

    Cheers artimus. Could've collected it too but out of stock on eBay and (unsurprisingly) they wouldn't price match. Car feels much more responsive now. Thought would only affect starting the engine. ECP took 2 old batteries for recycling too. Thanks guys

    Time for a new battery - suggestions?

    Cheers guys. Have 15% code so £100 from ECP for Bosch is fine. With warranty is tech £20 a year and need one ASAP. Pity they're closed Sundays.

    Time for a new battery - suggestions?

    Hi guys. Got a 2009 S3 sportback with 50k and the car didn't start yesterday. Have a battery charger which is indicating the battery is not holding charge. Manage to get it started after leaving it plugged in for a while but rely on my car a lot. Gonna pop down to ECP later. Any recommendations...

    Pentagon Supaglass... Theft prevention... Thoughts!?

    Looks great. However as tempted as I am, I will resist purchasing an RNS unit for this reason and wait until I can afford a newer Audi in a few years with a screen that disappears

    ** Updated Price ** She's pregnant... S3 for sale :(

    I've got the same seat and even with 5 doors it's a struggle getting the seat in as it's quite heavy and find it needs to be connected to the ISOFIX base before the base slots onto the car. That's good you have no issues. If I had a choice bet 3dr and 5dr then I would always have 5dr as its...

    ** Updated Price ** She's pregnant... S3 for sale :(

    Personally even though a 3 dr car can be used with a baby seat in the back, it's a lot easier with 5 doors. Especially it they've fallen asleep and you're putting them in the car without unnecessarily disturbing them and making sure all the straps are tight. I went from a 3dr A3 to a 5dr S3...

    Collected my S3 today-Few thoughts from a new owner

    I wouldn't buy an S3 from a non dealer personally as there's no warranty and S3's are usually driven hard. TBH a 5k mileage car would be in bad condition if not been looked after.

    £29 induction kit solution!

    Wouldn't this just suck hot air from the engine?
