Agree with the Cornish Ales....lovely! Old Thumper is a bit heavy for my liking though

Sorry, seemed to have hijacked this Cider post and turned it into a Real Ale post Spitfire is indeed a fine ale...my favourite would have to be Forty-Niner, a local Ringwood Ale....nice!

last time I drank copious amounts of Cider (with ice in it, sorry Envy) was during a long hot summer and I couldn't physically walk for some time afterwards due to all the acidic content making my feet swell up....very nice though! Real Ale drinker nowadays....much healthier !

Hi Ady....welcome to the Forum Great idea from Dan3222 (aka. cheapskate) but also the suggestion that Steve Q has offered is equally valid.....your choice I like the idea of the after-market system as it offers a lot more beside, such as SatNav, telephone, phone mirroring, media, etc Have a look at the ones here: http://www.iceboxauto.com/audi Let us know how it all goes Cheers, Trevor

Hi Liam....welcome to the Forum Keep us updated on how you find it Cheers, Trevor

Hi David...welcome to the Forum Sorry no one has got back to you yet, personally I don't know where they would be located but maybe worth dropping into the dealership to ask them or even open the boot of another S5 Coupe (if there is one there) to compare? Hope you find out the answer and maybe let us know the outcome Cheers, Trevor

Hi Ken....welcome to the Forum As niedzial1983 has stated, it is the Ambient Air Temperature Sensor and just needs to be clipped back into the bumper but will still work where it is hanging down. Cheers, Trevor

Great report Steve, thanks for putting it up....looks like a great show with some fantastic cars present, shame I couldn't go. Glad you guys had a great time and that the weather also held out (mostly)....looking forward to next year

I'll buy it :-)

I wonder what the Chuckle Brothers drove?

Sounds like the passenger side wheel bearing as all of the centrifugal load/weight will be going onto that bearing when turning right. Worth checking the rears as well but they will normally give a constant droning noise if they are worn. Let us know the outcome Cheers, Trevor

Only thing I can think of is earth points nearest to the lamps Otherwise, I don't suppose it has anything to do with headlamp/suspension levelling and if that's not correct then it won't operate the main beams?

how very cool ! would love one for the grandkids (not that I have any) or myself

Wow...that's a great investment, almost worth trying to find cars that used to belong to celebrities and auction them off (just a thought). Great story and photos though....nice one Steve

Very useful guide from Confused.com Original article and more information at https://www.confused.com/car-insurance/driving-in-europe

Sorry to hear you're not able to attend but I can see you have a geniune excuse, lol It looks amazing and very impressive! There is controversy at the moment that it will be the last F1 at Silverstone for a while as they have taken a break clause for a year at least. Please post up some photos, would be great to see. Cheers

I totally share your concerns Gareth, definitely genuine INA, made in Slovakia but not sure about the origins of the bolt. Although it certainly looks better than Scott's bolt, I still wouldn't say it is a tensile quality bolt and therefore will probably use the original one.

That's a good price really and the fact that they want to fit a quality cambelt kit is a very good sign

Hi Nigel...welcome to the Forum Nice time of the year to take retirement.....plenty of jobs to do on the car and around the house, no doubt? Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor

That's sold it to me Sven....

Hi Martin...welcome to the Forum

Hi Kev...welcome to the Forum Can't go wrong with a Gates belt and associated hardware. Keep us updated with the progress of the cambelt Cheers, Trevor

Bought this tensioner for an Alfa Romeo yesterday and look at the bolt, lol....you couldn't make it up ! Going to substitute it for the original one and nut-lock it into place to avoid loosening off tension but not convinced it looks a quality bolt although the tensioner is okay as have used these loads in the past and never had any problems. I think also, that if overtighten given that it has a lot of thread area to stretch that this could lead to failure...hence the nut-lock to avoid having to graunch it down.

I would think VCDS would do all of that....loads for sale on eBay

Hi Robert...welcome to the Forum Why make us choose...very unfair! Tough choice I have to say, but would love to know the outcome...keep us posted Cheers, Trevor
