    Porter Cable

    I'm wondering this too. How does it compare to the Meguiars random orbital polisher (£99 i think) which i presume doesn't need the transformer etc?

    Anyone tried these (speed camera detector)

    GPS based camera detector systems are not going to be included in the ban, it is only laser detectors. I have a Bel 550 and apart from detecting the fixed cameras, which are now mostly painted yellow anyway, it is a complete waste of money and doesn't get triggered by mobile traps, cost me a...

    Speeding - when you get a summons

    Sorry to tell you the bad news, but 20mph speed limits are legal. When the first few went in, some were tried as an experiment and weren't to be enforced at the time, but now any 20s you see are legal, i'm afraid. Saying that, the guidance should mean that where 20s are installed, they should be...

    Heavy steering

    Only got limited experience with this but I have also noticed the steering is a bit heavy but put this down to how audi wanted to make the car feel, ie a bit sporty. Presume its normal, just check the fluid level as it can get a bit noisy if its low.

    S3 DV hard to get at?

    Need to service my DV and had a quick look under the bonnet but noticed the DV seems to well obstructed by various pipes and the strut brace, or whatever its called. Is it just me being a bit lame and really not that much bother or is it fairly tricky to get at for all?!

    Petrol smell through vents when stationary

    Think this is a bit of an odd one but here goes. When the car is stationary or moving at very low speed I get what I can only describe as petrol fumes through the air vents (with aircon on or off). Has anyone else had this / know what might be the cause? I haven't keeled over yet but its a...

    First S3

    I know its a bit sad but i've used this before when I've had a puncture and had to use the space saver wheel. The damn things only let you go about 50mph and its so easy to forget its on and you can't help but floor it down a slip road!

    How much do you lie to your missus about the cost of your Audi???

    So true! I blame annoying things that go wrong with it, that shouldn't, on wear and tear and then round down the cost so she doesn't moan as much. She is determined that the car needs to go but I can't bear to part with it, whatever I own will cost money.
