Guys, if anyone's got any ideas about tightening up these joints I'd seriously like to hear them no matter how crazy - I ended up on the hard shoulder 5 times today (in 120 motorway miles) and it's just getting worse. I'm trying everything I can think of, unfortunately some of my hacks seem to be ca...

That button turns off the interior sensors, turn on the ignition, press and hold the button untill the red LED lights up on the switch, when you let go the LED will light up when you lock the car but the interior sensors will be off. Hold it down again to turn them back on again. On mine (although ...

Went to the garage today - the first time I've managed to catch them open after 5 (they're supposed to shut at 5:30) and got a quote on the linkage. ?70+vat!!!! Damn thing comes only as part of the the throttle assembly! So that's ?20 for a guide pin and now ?82 for a couple of ball joint cups conne...

yes but dont be delusional the 75 is an EXCELLENT car,far better than even the godly 406............. Actually I've had the misfortune to spend a day behind the wheel of a 75 and found it repulsive. The suspension felt too hard for a car of this type, the engine felt weak (albeit sufficient to haul...

I bought my 1997 2.0 Exec Turbo last year for ?1000 with 120k on the clock. It's now done 140k with a good 20% of that being cained and nothing's really gone wrong that couldn't have been avoided by me being less stupid (I -ALWAYS- check the bonnet's firmly locked down now!). I've always found Audi ...
