Whilst searching for xenon headlights on ebay I see that there are replica headlights - link Anyone know the quality of these and if they match the Audi manufactured parts? Obviously I would prefer original, but finding them hard to source and at £350 a pair the replicas are tempting.

Lovely black R8 regularly parked in Cheriton Folkestone - anyone on here?

My DIS 1 has stopped resetting itself after a inactive period of over 2 hours. i.e. has the details from the day before when I drive in the morning. It is performing like the DIS 2. Does anyone have any ideas what to check? Thanks!

There is a squeal coming from the engine when the ignition is clicked on but the engine not started. Not investigated properly yet, but what is triggered to run when the ignition is clicked on? Sounds like a belt slipping squeal but perhaps more metallic. No other problems and running fine...

Going to see Hawkwind at the 40 year anniversary gig. Haven't listened to them for years as I moved onto trance music. A friend got me a ticket as a surprise and should be hilarious. I forgot how good some of the tracks are. Any other fans?

I ordered a new MAF for my 1.8T in an effort to cure my bad fuel consumption. Anyway, the new MAF came and when I plug it in it kills the engine - tick over but engine cuts out when you accelerate. When I look at the old MAF it has never had a diode attached, but the new one does. Does anyone...

What a disaster this week has turned into. First off split up with my wife and yesterday my cam belt snapped (waiting for the third). Its being looked at properly on Monday, but the first opinion was that the key has sheared from the back of the bottom pulley. Will wait to see how much damage...

Really strong petrol smell when driving home tonight. Popped up the bonnet and got hit by a spray of petrol. The middle metal fuel hose secured onto the bulkhead has a pin ***** hole in it. I did get worried when the petrol was dropping onto the hot exhaust underneath! Dark and raining at the...

Is the silver trim on a Concert II removable? Have the option to get one for my B5 and want one without the trim to hopefully match existing look.

Just won tickets to the MPH show! Entered the text to win competition from Shell and to my surprise I actually won. Got two silver tickets for the Friday night show at Earls Court. Can't wait !

I've had some problems with a crackly left speaker before, but could always seem to clear it with a blast of volume. Now it seems the whole left side is distorted - front and rear speaker. The right channel is very quiet and also a bit distorted. However, when I switch to CD channel and play...

Hi, Anyone got any recommendations for the best stuff to use to stick the lower door trim back on? One of the clips has broken and now the trim sticks out at one end.

Baby girl born on Tuesday morning 8 AM - 7lbs 4oz. Was a bit of of shock as my wife was booked for a C-Section on Friday, but it all went really well as a natural birth and baby was born in six hours. After some debate we have decided to call her Emily-may. With two kids (and two dogs) I now...

Going to see George Michael at the new Wembley Stadium next Sunday. I think there is limited parking and the advice is to use public transport. However, my wife is 7 months pregnant and I need to make it as easy as possible for her. Anyone know if there is parking available or the nearest...

My company has decided in all its wisdom to outsource my department. 70 of us in the UK and about 300 globally. They are considering using TU PE legislation to simply transfer us over to another company, which means no redunancy pay out's ! After eight years trying to play all the politics and...

Took my two west highland terriers for a walk this afternoon. They ran off into the woods at one point and we heard one of them yelp - they both come running back and we thought no more of it. As they had both rolled in fox poo I gave them a bath when we got home. Afterwards I sat back just...

Thinking of going to the Isle of Wight for a week at the end of May - anyone got any recommendations or advice? Taking my two year old boy and pregnant wife so was thinking of a chalet or static but not sure where. Havent been there since I was a kid and the only thing I remember is...

The high pressure pipe running out of the bulkhead and under the battery has sprung a leak. It looks like this is one pipe that runs all the way to the front of the car with no joints. Audi have quoted £96 plus vat for the pipe. Is it possible to repair / patch aircon pipes? Want to reduce the...

Went to JabbaSport for a rolling road remap yesterday. It turns out that my car is a bit unusual and the only one like it Michael has seen. It's a 99.5 B5 1.8T Sport which is drive by wire, but has the pre face lift ecu - so no diagnostic port re-map. It also seems to have a K03 turbo but with...
