When i press my brake the rear fog light comes on, just on the dash though, not the actual fog lights on the rear of the car. It just lights up on the dash for about 1 second at the most then goes off??
Ive checked all the lights and indicators from outside the car and they all work fine, just...
I recently fitted Brembo Max fronts adn standard rears with red stuff all round,(awaits the slating of red stuff, lol).
For the first 300miles or so they were fine with easy breaking. After that i decided i would try giving them some hard breaking just to see how good they were. They were...

So i recently got new tyres on the rear of my car so it would pass the MOT, it did pass but he said the fronts were getting close to the limit. So i swap the fronts to the rear of the car so they last a bit longer. Then there was a wobble at 60mph so after a nightshift i waited up till 9am and...
Last week i had new tyres fited to the rear of my car so it would pass the MOT, which it did no probs, he did say the disks and front tyres would need replacing soon but appart from that he said it was in good condition all round.
My question is, if i swapped my front wheels / tyre to the rear...
Sunday at 2pm ish, parked facing the road in ASDA carpark in Benton, Newcastle, think the reg was GN55 AKK or something close to that, it also had what looked like a Spongebob square pants hanging off the rear view mirror. Parked up next to it but mine was just a flying visit, i was only there...
There is a thread over on CS about those £160 electric superchargers on ebay.
Basically everyone is saying they are a load of crap, i agree they do sound like a load of crap and i wouldnt waste my money on one but no one on CS has actually purchased one and used it on their car so how can they...
Spotted tonight at 7:30pm ish heading towards the mini roundabout just before the Brockwell Centre in Cramlington, i had just turned left off the roundabout and spotted you driving down, i slowed and waited but you went straight on.
Just been reading on this http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default ... ryId=19541 about the possible production of the RS3, would imagine it would be a awsome car.
My issue i saw a awsome looking Audi A3 shape in my local Sainsburys about 1 week ago, from a distance it looked like a S3 but when i...
Just wondering if anyone knows where you can hire a Continental GT or a RR Phanton, Black, with driver in the Northeast, Newcastle area?

Spotted at Revolution247, :lol: .
Good of you to pop along mate, you really made me want to get a exhaust for the Trophy, yours sounded mint.
Think after the cam and aux kits are done, got the car detailed and new front tyres are fitted the exhaust will have to be next on the list. :D .
I know this has been asked a million times but does anyone have the Trophy workshop manual???
I have looked at all the other ones like 182 and 172cup but there must have been one made for the Trophy also?
I have had my cat welded today as the flange had almost completely split all the way around, (where it connects to the exhaust), it was starting to sound like a tank!
The clamp is also bent, quite rusty and one of the studs is stripped, the lad who welded it for me managed to get it back on good...
