Hi all, I've bought a Thinkware U1000 from Amazon, it's a 'warehouse' (used) item but everything in the box appears unused/sealed. The U1000 only comes with the hardwire kit (no cigarette socket lead included), so before I arrange to get it installed (pinging @DJAlix, we've been emailing...

Hello all, Long timer but after changing my A4 B8 for a Q5 FY recently, I am back and have questions... The Q5 alarm is being triggered when it is parked at home on the driveway, it has happened a few times mainly at night and a couple of times during the day, when it is either raining or when...

I was researching how much it would cost to retrofit a TV tuner for my A4 (B8), I have the 2G MMI option with a rear view camera already fitted. The going rate to get the TV tuner fitted seems to be around the £1200 mark which is a bit much. Looking through the Kufatec website, I came across...

Hi all, I've been away a long time from the forum, but have lots of new questions and lots to learn - I've recently changed my A3 (8P) for an A4 (B8) and was wondering about the DRLs. When I was looking for my next car a few weeks ago, I saw a video for FOW (a car supermarket) where the DRLs...

All, I have a bit of a dilemma, that I could use some help with. (no, it is not a long joke). In my last job, I worked as a contractor through an agency for a year (August 2007 - June 2007). I left on very good terms with the company I worked at, but the person I dealt with at the agency was...

All, I'm planning a trip at the end of November for our annual anniversary getaway, but rather than the usual two week full on trip, I'm keeping it more of a long weekend due to work commitments. We've got the 23rd to the 26th of November inclusive booked for the trip. I am planning on...

Quoted (stolen) from Pistonheads: New Audi Phone Is A1 Audi is on a bit of a roll at the moment, especially in terms of their new cars’ über-cool details. Their LED daytime running lights and Bang and Olufsen stereos are certainly hitting the spot, and if their latest Tokyo concept gets the...

I am well and truly and utterly f*cked off. The words I'm allowed to use (and the words that I'm not allowed to use) do not do my anger any justice. My car now 'sports' a keyed passenger side, from the rear light all the way to the front of the passenger door. There are two distinct key...

All, I've tried to make contact with a few Audi dealers to determine the level of discount they could/would offer for a group buy. If anyone is interested, could you post what you are after? (front valance, rear valance, rear spoiler, side skirts). As they are available as individual...

All, Car goes for its first MOT tomorrow - is there anything I can/should do (apart from pray) to help it along? How long should I give it a 'warm up' blast for and at what speed? (50/70mph for 20 minutes?) Anything else? Thankos

I saw someone getting hit by a car for the first time(*) in person this lunchtime. I was waiting for the bus infront which was picking up/setting down passengers when a girl of about 16ish gets out, and runs behind the bus right infront of my car. There was a bus on the other side of the...

All, Since I bought my A3, the drivers side wiper always missed a bit of the screen when it wipes - right in the middle of the wiper/wiper arm. Thinking it was a duff wiper blade, I got round to changing the blade today (in time for its MOT next week). When I changed the wiper blade and...

All, I've got two cars with their MOT's due within a week of each other, VW Golf this Thursday and the A3 has its first MOT next week - ouch! Can someone recommend a cheap testing place (perhaps with a special offer or discount) in west London so I can minimise my costs? I've got a...

Anyone here in the South East/Kent area? Must have spoiled a good sleep-in for some...

I'm going to both the Raw and Smackdown shows on Monday and Tuesday next week. Don't laugh. This isn't a discussion of what's fake or made-up :p It was going to be a good laugh until one person out of our group of 4 decided to pull out of both nights Our seats are in Block E3 for both...

All, Remember my post about my awesome day at Mercedes Benz World? (Linky) Well, I was sent an invite to an exhibition/seminar being hosted at MB World about some AV/HD/IT video conferencing thingy. Included during the visit is the chance to have a go on one of their Track Day experiences -...

I went along to Mercedes Benz World in Brooklands yesterday with my cousin. He's got a CLK and was given a Track Day gift for his birthday, so he invited me along (I had to pay though)... First we walked through the museum/showroom with over 100 old and current cars in the range. Some...
