    £1028.12 for some replacement discs and pads :-(

    I had the same brakes on my S3 a coupleof years ago. When i needed replacements, I did some research and found that the Movits were exact copies of certain 993 discs and pads which were a fraction of the cost. Sorry i can't remember which model or part nos.

    S3 wanted

    Hi - been away for too long, but looking to get back in another S3 - would like a facelift one that has had some mods done, ideally suspension and brakes. Alcantara interior a must.

    Paintshop South-West

    Having been trying to sell my car for a while with no luck, I'm thinking of getting the front painted. The laquer has chipped and water has lifted the surrounding areas. Does anyone know of a decent paintshop around the south-west?

    Buying used S3's with MTM conversions etc?

    I made the conscious decision to buy a modded one. I'd had a standard S3 before and always felt that I wanted a bit more. I'd either have settled for a remap (which I would have had done myself) or a conversion. I'm picking up an RS4 today and still have doubts about selling the S3.

    Buying used S3's with MTM conversions etc?

    The conversion on mine, which was done prior to me buying it, cost the guy in excess of £12k. I understand why people can be put off, but I would also take into account the fact that if you've got that kind of money available, you're more likely to be able to keep the car regularly serviced...

    Not changing it, but I need to refit it. The sides have popped out and I assume come off a guide?

    Slippy slippy clutch..

    Mine has an MTM paddle clutch, which went before Christmas. I use Performance Driven in Taunton, who have put a new clutch plate in (£200) and it also needed a new flywheel (£300), plus labour. Ouch!

    anyone know where to get s3 / rs3 badges from?

    If you really want one..... I bought one a couple of years ago. You can have it for nowt, as I had a reality check, probably because of some of the guys on here. Each to their own however. PM me with your address and I'll get it to you. You'll have to pay postage of course

    A3/S3 seat problems

    I've had this. There are 4 allen bolts with square nuts holding the bottom of the seat to the sliders (technical term?). You can just access the two front with the seat fully back, and vice-versa for the back bolts

    Strange noise

    I've got a weird noise from the back of the car under hard acceleration at around 4-5k revs. It sounds like stones are hitting the exhaust. Anyone got any ideas?

    Winter time again

    Unfortunately, I missed two winters due to a driving ban, so we'll both find out this year! Of course, it's always warm down here, so I may never know.

    GTRS Eliminator Finally Fitted

    Looks great. That seems a hell of a good deal at £4k. I know that the guy who had mine done at QST paid over £7k for the engine mods.
