Finally brought an S3
Thanks everyone for all of your advice, finally brought an S3.

Decided to go for silver with black leather, nice condition, figured it would look nice when it eventually got some s4 style alloys on it.
Didnt really get to take it over 70 on the test drive so didnt pick up on it at the time but from 3rd upwards seems to loose boost sometimes between 3000rpm sometimes 4000rpm, hear the turbo spool up for about 2secs then no noise at all and loss of power. Trailed as.net and realised it could be a number of things, boost leak, maf, GEARBOX! coilpacks, sparkplugs Etc thanks to this brilliant forum concluded the best thing to do is get it plugged in, the misses knows someone that works at audi in Cambridge, hopefully thatll show something up.
Still lovely drive though, was thinking about a CTR, glad I didnt.
To top it all off, was made redundant on Wednesday with a weeks money and Christmas holiday pay owning to me, not going to see any of it for a while as the company has gone into liquidation. Nice of them to give me a heads up knowing I was going to get a huge loan for a car.
Anyway rant over, still a lovely car, hopefully can afford to keep it, fix it, then remap.
Have a great Christmas lads!
