    A3 Seats....new in old...?

    If it is possible to fit then i would look around scrap yards. Last month I saw a smashed up A3 similar to mine (pre face lift though) at a local scrapy, front was ruined but the back was fine, seats/boot etc, so may be worth having a look around for a real bargain!

    Thinking about trading up.

    I went to basingstoke audi a few weeks ago to get a part exchange price, they offered me 4.5k for my a3 (I bought it in october for 6750!), and its still in excellent condition with only 40k miles on the clock. I think part-ex'ing or going to audi is a waste of time. They were rude to me...

    Unfortunately I don't have a CD changer cable in my car atm, so next weekend I will be taking off my glovebox and inside panels to install the cable nice and snugly! Once that is done it should just be as simple as plugging in :)

    Smelly Air Con

    I could (and am probably am!) wrong about this, but I heard that its caused by perfume that gets sucked in, goes 'off' then re-circulates. Even if its not true, at least you can blame your g/f lol

    Tyre blowout!

    It was a dunlop sp sport tyre. Not sure why it blew out. Weird thing was that i checked my tyres the previous morning and they were all ok. I did have a spare but it was too dark to change it, and it was on grass so i couldnt get the jack to settle. Went back at 5.30 (first light) to change it...
