    Smelly Aircon help

    I've done a search and read posts on similar issues, however doesn't seem to point to a single solution.

    Map Reading Light Bulbs

    Hi all, My car doesn't have the interior light pack, so only has the one centre light above you and in the rear, wondering if anyone has replaced these bulbs with bright white LEDs (not too bright), and if so, what bulbs did you use? Were they hard to fit?

    Another tyre thread

    I know this has been asked a million times on here, but it seems it's more an S3 forum of late. I'm currently driving an A3, and just wondering what other A3 drivers are running, the car came with Conti 5's on the rear and budgets on the front. There rears are needing replacing as one has a...

    MTM Bimotto

    Does anyone know a UK supplier for these? I had previously used Niche Conversions but doesn't look like they deal with MTM anymore. Would rather deal with someone in the UK, rather than Germany. Cheers,
