Hi, I'm looking for ideally 2 front wings (top side and front) most important is drivers side wing top! Thanks Ben Waine

Hey chaps, My drivers side wing top has corroded, and has a badly mounted aerial on it. I've looked online and in the part catalogue, found the part number, but no where sells them (that I can find) I can find the side of the wing ( with the cut out for the wheels to turn) and the fronts...

Hi chaps, I went to stay at my gf's narrowboat and saw a sign for hadley 4x4 (near Whitchurch) just wondered if anyone has any info on dates etc, also we followed the signs direction and it lead to a private road keep out sign. Ive looked on the internet and I can only find 2014 posts and...

Although my front prop needs attention it wasn't the cause of the squeek! I have realised that I have a few differnt ones. 1) is a fanbelt type noise, my fan belt is new ish and still suitably tight so any ideas in that one? 2) there is an occasional clunk from the rear when I take you...

I have a sqeek on my s3 88 diesel, I think its one of the uj's on the front propshaft, I tried to grease them, but instead of it coming out of all 4 points, the grease only ouzes out of one. Question is whether to attempt a replacement of the uj (diff end) or buy a new propshaft, I havent had...

So today on the way home from work just after going through some traffic lights, my foot goes to the floor, after some swearing managed to Coast onto the grass verge had a look for 10mins and decided to limp home as I was a mile or so away, got to a feild I cut across, so lifted the bonnet and...

Went for an mot, failed on the rear tub supports, not sure if I have time to fix it all my self, I think I need a new floor aswell, can I just buy the supports and rubber chassis mount things and a normal sheet of ally plate, rip the old stuff out and put new in? Also the supports that run...

Hello all, I think it has come up before but could not find a definitive answer... Is driving while wearing ear protection ( either over head or in ear) legal? I do not mean listening to music, I mean what you wear if your drilling concrete etc! Any thoughts/ opinions? I know it sounds soft...

Seen another series 3 (green, looks newly restored) that overtakes my old s3 diesel van on the a500 between tunstall and j16 on the m6, not sure of the reg, but I would like to say its a very nice motor !!!

Hi guys, I'm not looking to do anything like a full respray, but just a front wing top and rear quarter. It's mid grey, I think I've found place that sells it in areosol and tin formats. What's the easiest, best, and best compromise for application, areosol, brush, roller or spray. (Due to...

After much stress of buying fan belts from shops that say weve checked the reg no on the car and this will fit perfect and it not fitting at all, I have now found, a 10av1050 belt is the right size (10mm wide, 1050mm long) hope this helps someone! (This was on a s3 2.25 diesel)

Hey took my s3 2.25 diesel off roading today and noticed how much water got thrown over the engine bay, ideally I don't want to fit a snorkel because I'm 17 and my insurance won't like it I'm not massivley bothered about the water, but it's my air intake that worries me!!! I've considered some...

Hey chaps, 1984 s3 diesel, ive noticed the engine burning/using oil in some way or another, i realised today its not been checked for 2 or 3 weeks, looked today, quite far below the low marker, i would have thought with low oil the oil pressure alarm light would have came on? Also going to look...

I know it's been asked a thousand times, but I can find a clear answer, does the centre seat legally need a belt?, as when it was made it did not have one, the direct gov website says "If your vehicle doesn’t have seat belts, for example it’s a classic car, you aren’t allowed to carry any...

15th December, anyone going? I want to but for obvious reasons don't want to go alone and rely on possible fools to help me out if I'm stuck :) I think it's £25 or £20 for the day, for 1 landy and 2 people

Hey basically my indicators are broke, are the ones that paddocks sell any good ? (The ones that are £3 ish ?, it says made by wipac, however if it turns out to be Britpart I will be severely f**kd off) and don't have the funds for the LED type as I need to buy engine mounts aswell Thanks ben

I've got a 1984 series 3 diesel, the gearbox has a few issues, rattling overdrive handle (sorted that with a large socket) but when everything is warm, (say 10mile drive) if I'm in neutral and the clutch pedal is up, there's a rattling noise, any ideas what it is? From what I've researched it's...

Hey chaps, just a few niggles... 1. There is a rattling sound ( I think from the back of the engine) that goes away when the clutch is depressed. 2. When in 4th, if I let off the throttle, then accelerate, the gear stick clicks backwards. 3. Door seals, drivers side leaks in water (I think...

On the way home from work, on the back lanes there was a golf following veerryyyy much too close, I carried on as normal, even through a massive puddle ( water everywhere, was epic) and this golf slammed his brakes on went on wrong side of the road and nearly had an accident!, I know series...
