  1. Glad you got sorted Joe :) Cheers Steve
  2. Sorry to hear this Paul, let's hope you get it fixed before the show! We've still got a month! ;) To be fair I've still got to get bodywork done on my a6 too!
  3. Now this is interesting, I would never have guessed that the AAs roots were so unique!
  4. Welcome to the forum bLee, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) Wow, you've had alot of work carried out! I'm assuming the garage have done a diagnostic check? And have they checked the dpf, egr or pistons? Cheers Steve
  5. Welcome to the forum Chris, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) Great to see a fellow c5 owner on here! :) The 2.7 is a great engine and is worth a punt, plus they are getting quite rare now! It's worth checking the service history to see what work it's had done. Obviously listen out for any wistling from the turbos and make sure there's no major hesitation when driving as turbos can be very expensive to replace! Listen out for any knocking from the front of the car which could be things such as engine mounts, suspension components or worse case a driveshaft. Is it auto or manual? Also check for signs of rust on the front wings as this can be an expensive job to replace these. In terms of electrics, make sure everything works! Ie the air con which can cost around £1000 as a worst case scenario (and is in the case with mine, hence why I don't have air con!) How come is your current a6 dead/dying? And have you got any pics? (I love to see fellow c5 owners cars!!) Cheers Steve
  6. No extra blurring required lol 😂 This Audi was seen in teenage mutant Ninja turtles 2014 film. Here's a new one. The clue is that it's seen in a street racing film. I know how much you love them Paul!!
  7. I doubt you'll have a tracker. With regard to the keyless, are there little black squares on the door handles? If so it should be keyless. Cheers Steve
  8. Welcome to the forum Buck, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) What kind of driving are you doing? Ie tow, motorway etc. Also I've found putting premium fuel in both my diesel cars has improved the mpg slightly. Cheers Steve
  9. Looks nice Carl :) what features has it got? Cheers Steve
  10. Yea they should fitbas the body shape is the same but I'm unsure about the gap. As I say you may have to have the new lights coded to the car. If you're fitting the updated rear lights then you may as well fit the updated headlights too. Cheers Steve
  11. Welcome to the forum Naz, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) Now I'm sure the US rear lights and headlights are different to the European spec ones. I think the European spec ones cannot be converted to have the sweeping indicators. I think the only way round it for you would be to buy a second hand set of the newer style light clusters and having them coded in (,if required). Cheers Steve
  12. Wow! now I would never have guessed boxing! Was the yellow a simple for his local football team or something?
  13. Certainly is Gareth! I just think there are alot of complications to over come. Ie how do you police the air space, give way, change direction etc. I think it would need to be something similar to back to the Future part 2 to be honest! As per these pictures.
  14. Glad you're sorted Carl, and its definitely peace of mind! That'll be another 5 years until you have to worry about it :)
  15. Hi David, there should be lots of companies in your area doing this. But it might also be worth seeing g if halfords do :) Think youd be looking to spend max £200 at a guess. Cheers Steve
  16. Volvo's appear nice but I can't be doing with the dash layout. Think the allroad looks nicer than the xc60 or xc70 anyway.
  17. Fair point! In terms of suspension you could always go with a suspension kit is lowering springs and matching shocks. This will be more compliant for road use. You may find coilovers maybe Abit harsh.
