  1. I have just upgraded the interior lights (bulbs) on my daughters car to LED and thought I would share this, if it helps?

    The cabriolet shares the same vanity mirror lights and glove box light with other A3's but the single front roof/dome light unit is different. I couldn't find a YouTube video or images anywhere as to how to access this.

    Gently pry the thin black fascia without getting behind the white casing. It feels like it's going to break but just gently ease it out with a plastic pry tool in a few different areas of attack. You can use your fingers when you get to the stage pictured. The two lens covers pull off easily. Just reverse the process when you have fitted the LED bulbs, the bulbs just pull out.

    The whiter LED light makes a big difference and dances off the aluminium trim. It's well worth the effort.

    I'm still considering whether to buy before Winter or after. These are still depreciating £100+ a month which is more than her current car.

    AutoTrader is showing 17 of the S Line cars nationally, either fuel, 2014 below 40,000 miles. Not much has changed in the past two weeks.

    I am reasonably confident sat nav and cruise control were standard on the S Line 2014 year model. I haven't seen one without.

    I find it amazing you can spend £30K on a new car and have to tick an option box to get folding door mirrors.
