  2. Sorry you feel this way Fraser. I'm sure admin will sort it :) 

    my stickers arrived today. So il apply them once the car is back from the garage and when she's clean so I can see how they look. 

    Il let you know how I get on :) 

    cheers

  3. Your welcome :) 

    Well thought of Dan! Tyres are very important too! 

    Seat Leon Cupra is a fantastic car and and a great alternative :) a work colleague has a heavily modded one and it is quick (at least 160mph iv seen from his) 

    they should be cheaper too :) 

    oh an upgraded intercooler could be advisable ;) 

    theres a few of us going to VAG Tuner Live on Sunday 16th July if you want to join us? 

    Might beba good way to get some ideas :) check out the events page for more info :)

  4. Welcome to the forum :) 

    In my honest opinion I think the a3 you've suggested has too higher mileage. You'd be better off getting one with less 100k miles and with full service history. 

    For any track car coilovers or suspension kit is a good idea. I.e. Lowered springs with matching dampers. And uprated Brakes is recommended. All thebengine mods are correct too :) 

    hope iv helped 

    cheers

  5. Welcome to the forum :) 

    you have a tough decision to make as both the a4 and a4 allroad are nice cars. 

    The lowest spec a4 avant with the 218ps 3.0tdi, s tronic box and Quattro is a sport model which is approx £36,965 

    the cheapest a4 all-road with the 218ps 3.0tdi, s tronic box and Quattro is the trim line spec (entry level) and is £38,695. 

    It depends if you want to spend the extra money on the allroad 

    In my opinion the allroad has more road presence. I see a white one when I am on my way back from work and it Deffo stands out. For an extra £600 you can have the allroad body kit painted the same colour as the car if you want to make it more subtle. 

    The allroad has more exclusivity about it and the two models iv highlighted as comparison will drive similar to be honest as the engine power and gearboxes are the same. 

    Hope iv helped :) 

    cheers

  6. Thanks all for your help :) 

    it couldn't have come at a worse time to be honest. As I'm due to take the a6 to Belgium to see my sister who has just moved there! 

    the a6 will be with the garage for a while I think! 

    Its really annoying as it's only done it twice in the last 2 weeks. But that's twice too many! 

  7. As the total says really. My a6 has developed an intermittent brake issue. When I apply the brakes the pedal goes nearly to the floor. It's almost as if there is low pressure. 

    Iv never lost the brakes completely they're just not responding as normal sometimes. 

    The brake discs and pads are fine

    no brake fluid leaking and brake fluid was blead and changed in March. 

    My local garage is wondering if it's the abs pump but has anyone got any ideas? 

    Im currently doing Russian roulette ATM as I never know when it's going to happen!

    Car Salesman :yucky: Been with Ford and Mazda and now with a used car superstore which I've started today.  Not something I ever picture myself doing being a retail manager in the past but great fun, moneys pretty decent and lots of toys to play with. 

    Iv worked in car sales and service so I feel your pain! 

    The hours were a killer!!
