I've just sold my A3 to my brother, but it's got a quirky noise that I want to make sure is not a major fault. When you let off the accelerator when there's peak boost there is a high pitched 'coooo' noise, as well as the high pressure air release noise. It sounds ridiculous but the car has...

Dudes, Just sold my A3 to my brother, I've put the factory BOSE junk back in, which he's actually relatively happy with. He's got a Parrot CK3100 and wants that fitting, is there any issues fitting this to a BOSE system? Or because all the amplification happens in the boot, should it just be...

Incorrect, not all lorries are restricted to 56mph but the majority are. It's not such to do with slipstream either, it's load. If you have a 40 tonne 18 wheeler, limited to 56mph, then a 20 tonne 18 wheeler behind him, due to the load the lighter one will generally pull out and overtake, most...

100% Correct. Lot's of people asked me what I thought the Villa score would be, I said about 3-0 to Villa, they looked at me like I stupid for not being optimistic. Newcastle have been lucky not to go down for the last 4 year, and have been a utter joke to watch. What I and most of the...

I'm proud to be British, but I'm not overly fussed as to what's on our coinage. It's a bit hypocritical to be all patriotic and say Britain is being eroded away because Britannia is no longer on our coins, then you call our current monarch a German. Maybe should you go back to the...

Not exactly current affairs is it? That story is over a year old and we already have the Queen's coat of arms on the new coins...so heritage isn't exactly lost?

I've got an Alpine with the optional KCE-400BT, it does the job but i would recommend you run a switched live to it, otherwise you'll have no end of trouble!

I've got a Dragon box on my 1.9tdi PD. The difference is immense, without the box the car feels gutless and boring to drive, with it on, it's so much more lively and fun

Dudes, I'm finally looking to take out the rest of my Bose system, which I've now decided is the true definition of a Fonejacker style upgrade/downgrade with a free ring ding. What I need is some confirmation that the fronts and rears are 6.5" and the tweeters are 1". Then i can take...

What a waste! I used to have one of these a few years back, i treated it like crap for 60,000 miles and it never once had any issue with it, brilliantly reliable and practical. Handled like a tugboat, but you can't have everything!

Surely the Netherlands are going to win, they might not be 100% solid at the back, but they have a seriously good attacking force!

Agreed that the upscaler is seriously good, especially on the newer screens. The girlfriend's dad has both a 42" Plasma from 2-3 years ago, and a new 60" Pioneer Kuro, the Kuro looks mighty impressive on SD, and HD obviously looks even better. On the older Pioneer there is a clear difference...

John Lewis warranty is not that great on Plasma/LCD panels. They will only replace dead pixel panels if there if 5-6 in a one square inch section of the screen. So if you have a dead pixel in the middle of the screen, they wont care. You're best off paying for currys/comet extended warranty...

I agree with the last poster about Pioneer Plasma panels, they really are very, very good, but come at a price. The originator of this thread didn't sound like he cared for the 'ultimate' in picture technology, so i would personally Recommend the Samsung R87/88. Gloss black finish, durable...

Bit of a pretentous start to the topic! Surely you could have just asked 'Would you rather have expensive material things and be single, or have nothing and be in a good relationship?' rather than saying all the pimping goodies you have? Anyway, i think you can have both. If you're both eyeing...
