    The Strangled Trombone!

    New rubber needed - but from where...?

    Guys & Gals, Can anyone out there recommend a tyre centre in the West Midlands / South Staffordshire Area. It's time for some new rubber and I'd rather go somewhere that's been proven by some other like minded enthusiasts. I don't want to end up with scratched rims and all the bother that...

The front edge of the roof line is 1/4" proud of the glass line. I noticed this when cleaning...

    Anyone had any problems with their electric door mirrors not folding all the way back out? My drivers door mirror has been on a go slow today. Only folded half way out first, managed to make it OK by folding back in again and then out. Second time it wouldn't fold all the way out for love nor...

    A6 remapping

    I got a new A6 2.0 TDI about 3 weeks ago. Saw her in the showroom and I just couldn't resist. Went in for an A3, came out with an A6. I'm a salesman's dream !!
