Yep, ideally we need one more Audi for the stand. To be fair we still have a couple of weeks yet :)

Your welcome :) Hmm, has the issue started after the brake pads were replaced? I am wondering whether there is a procedure for unwinding or temporarily disconnecting the parking brake whilst brake pads or discs are replaced. And I'm thinking the correct procedure has not been followed hence the issue. I know on some vag cars with auto handbrakes the back of the car has to be jacked up evenly so in order to get the handbrake to work properly after brakes have been changed and that the correct tools have to be used to unwind the auto handbrake back out of the way whilst changing the brakes. I hope what iv said makes sense?! Cheers steve

Sorry to hear the gearbox has failed Iwan :/ Have you looked for any second hand gearboxes? In terms whether it's worth repairing I would say it depends on the mileage and condition. If it's low mileage and a minter with full service history then I'd say it's worth it. It also depends on what the car means to you. For example in my a6 I'd be happy to have another engine or gearbox put in it as it has great sentimental value. Sorry if iv told you how to suck eggs! Cheers steve

Your most welcome Dayan :) I couldn't agree more! You have a good compromise and like you I'd keep the 18" wheels as they look great on the car :) I think the se wheels are either 16 or 17" but not sure exactly to be honest.

Glad your tickets came Dan :) on one of my previous posts on this topic I did put a list of things you should have received in your pack :) cheers steve

Hey Dom, the video hasn't worked for me but the questions I have have are; is your drive on a slope or is it flat? Also has the a6 battery gone flat lately? Also have you ad the a6 plugged into any diagnostic equipment? If not I would recommend that you have this done so you can find the exact fault. Sometimes if there is an issue with the parking brake there can be other issues with the car too. Sorry if iv scared you :/ I'd be unsure on how much it would cost to fix without knowing the exact faults. Cheers steve

Welcome to the forum Miles :) sorry to hear your having issues with your q7. They are lovely cars to drive and be in! I do hope the dealer can sort it for you quickly and with little fuss! Min assuming it opens and closes smoothly despite the creaking noise? I know it's not the same but on my old Ford escort which has a tilt and slide sunroof, I find WD40 works a treat when the sunroof gets stiff. I spray it on the runners and other moving parts and it solves any issues. The escort is my 2nd car btw lol there should be a section in the owners manual about sunroof maintenance. Cheers steve

Welcome to the forum Cameron:) i hope your enjoying your A1 :) I agree with Gareth, as long as the garage is vat registered and uses genuine parts then your warranty will be fine :) when I worked at vw a minor service was £169. Thatvquote from Audi is outrageous! Cheers steve

Insurance is a nightmare! I change every time! Unfortunately there's no perks for staying loyal with the same company. I normally go with a multi car policy as I have 2 cars. But I think next year I'm going to try and get Classic insurance on my old Ford escort to see if it's cheaper.

Your welcome :) lol iv been away and got the carpark to clean it! Naughty I know!

Welcome to the forum Dayan :) hope your excited to get your new Audi! :) you made the right spec choice in my opinion :) the s line spec is far better then the se spec. In terms of the suspension the se suspension will Deffo give you comfort (my dad had a 2013 a3 company car se spec) the s line suspension is lower and as such gives a firmer ride which I experienced whilst working at a car supermarket. The ride is also partly determined by the wheel and tyre combination. So obviously the bigger the wheels/lower profile tyres the harder the ride will be. The se wheels are a smaller diameter compared to the s line wheels. If you prefer comfort over than sportiness then you've probs made the right decision on suspension :) hope iv helped cheers steve

Sounds good Piotr :) hope your having a good break! :)

That's epic! Id love 1200hp! Oh and it would be an interesting drag race against a Bugatti veyron!

Too new for ronin! ;)

Couldn't agree more! Iv put the effort in to organise the get together to try get members to come together as I feel it's good to socialise when we have a good thing in common! :) looking forward to seeing you their Dan :)

Couldn't agree more! I do hope those members who have agreed to come do turn up! :)

Hmm, you know what Trevor, I don't know! Have you got any ideas on the film?

Welcome to the forum Andrew :) loveky look s4 you have there! Youll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch and if you have any questions then don't hesitate to ask :) cheers steve

Exactly! Dont worry, it'll come round quick lol we do need more people to confirm they've bought tickets!

Exactly! That's what's stopping me from going.

Any guesses?

Right, we are less than 2 weeks away! And I need to know numbers on who's bought tickets. If we haven't got 5 cars then I don't think we'll have a display! :(

I do hope so! Because if it goes bang then: 1. I wouldn't know what to replace it with. Probs a c6 Le Mans estate or dare I say it a merc e class! 2. I couldn't bare to part with it and I'd have to decide either to scrap or put a new engine in it. I'd probs choose the latter to be honest! My lips are sealed. You'll know on the day! :)

Hmm, I'm unsure then. The Le Mans edition ran right through to production end in 2011. The Le Mans had different suspension, wheels and body kit to the s line. The Le Mans also had reverse camera and button closing boot. As well as everything else being electric. But like I say if it was a Le Mans there should be badges on the boot to say.
