• Stupid Barriers At Uni 23 Apr 2004 (Forum)
  The problem here is that the back entrance is 5 miles away by driving out of the main entrance and then taking the main road. So I drive in the back way and there are 2 more barriers on this side saying to use the front entrance but that didn\'t matter as I found a space.
• Test drive accident 14 Apr 2004 (Forum)
  Anyway, nearing the end of the drive which I took with my father, whilst we were just about decidng the car was good enough to buy, cruising happily (and overtaking on a slight bend)at 70mph when (this is the bits I remember) the car swerved in towards the car I was overtaking, then swerved the other way and the rest is a blur!
• Update - new Yaris & the Learner Driver 5 Nov 2003 (Forum)
  So far, so good - but I suppose now the nerves will really start (I mean mine!) .............. Oh and, once she has a bit more experience of driving on her own, we plan to get her some lessons just on the motorway - Passplus doesn't seem so necessary as she has already done bad weather, town centre, rural and driving in the dark as part of her ordinary driving instruction - and having got the insurance sorted, there is no financial gain to be had atm.

• BMW X1, Mercedes GLA, Audi Q3 - X1 vs GLA vs Q3 8 Feb 2016 (Forum)
  I read really some great reviews about this engine on other sites. So I went for a test drive and simply loved it. It drives way better than the above two. The way the steering feels and responds is brilliant. It totally took the effort out of driving, especially when combined with the S-Tronic gearbox!
• Audi A3 - Driving Another Car, Uninsured, Possible Penalties 13 Nov 2012 (Forum)
  So, as I am unable to be without a car for work, I went and bought a second car which would allow me to drive it while my car was in the garage getting fixed for over a week. It also meant once I got my car back from the garage, she could use the new car. I had the guy selling the car to me drive to my house to drop off the new car with his brother.

• Audi S5 - Chirping Audi S5 4 Dec 2020 (Forum)
  Replaced clutch fork and clutch ball with newer revisions due to seeing an Audi Technical Service Bulletin (2022990/3) on clicking / creaking clutch. Talked to Audi who thought it could be the clutch drive plate that bolts to the crankshaft. Ordered new clutch drive plate and installed. Same scenario. Fine when cold, then as it warms up after about 10 mins, same noise. Last attempt I had was to replace the crankshaft rotor pickup wheel that sits between the crankshaft and the clutch drive plate so ordered a new one of those.
