    Probably been posted too

    many times ot mention but my petrol gauge is playing silly buggers. One minute I'm full the next I'm empty and occasionally somewhere in between. Any suggestions? Is it a sensor or gauge problem? It is an intermittent but annoying problem. Thanks in advance

    Still Lovin my S3

    Had mine 2.5yrs and still loving it. Been thinking about changing it but ot be honest there is nothing out there that ticks all the boxes. Was thinking about going for a S4 but the thought of 24mpg compared to the 30-35mpg the S3 gives me seems ot seal it. but the sound ofthat V8 is awesome

    Clunking noise

    The noise mainly comes when the car is moving in a straight line and is more noisy when crawling along at low speed, say in traffic There are no vibrations coming through the steering wheel at higher speeds to suggest it is tracks rods etc but will look nonetheless

    Going around Donington

    on Saturday to wring the **** off my S3 and to probably have a few heart in mouth, twitchy hole situations but I am looking forward to it.

    Removing S3 seats

    I did not disconnect the battery due to the fact the airbag had already deployed and it was the airbag that I was changing. Disconnect the airbag as a precaution though. But make sure you have the code for the stereo, if it is standard equipment.

    Best out of a tank

    I have never got over 320 mile on a full tank. On long journeys it wil happily do 200 miles for half a tank. Then I will only get another 150 if I am lucky (behaved).

    Anyone raced a boxster?

    To Dave R. I am in no way questioning Glen. I think that his repsonses can be a bit too abrassive, abusive and more importantly unecessary others may or may not agree with me. You obviously do not. If someone is posting pie in the sky there are better ways of discussing the issue at hand rather...

    Anyone raced a boxster?

    You have not hacked me of at all. If you find some posters rants annoying there is no need to retort with abusive torrents it proves nothing you sound just as stupid. The fact you or anyone else may have spent money on modyfying numerous cars does not make them an authorative source. Not in the...
