    Swapping the A2 for a BMW i3 - thoughts please

    I have had x2 Audi A2s. The first I should have never sold. I sold it to buy a Nissan Leaf. That car with its short electric range was the best car ever, at the time. Cost only £400 in fuel for the entirety of its 70,000 miles and sold it for much less depreciation than most of my cars. Oddly if...

    Gearbox oil change

Couple of siezed bolt issues and getting the undertray back on was a slight pain which added to the time taken. Weird brownish syrup came out. About 1.7 litres. Put 2 litres of clear goodness...

    Repairs in Scotland or near Inverness?

    Ah hah. Better start looking for that oil as both of my track rod ends are rattly. Sounds like a medical complaint. lol Looks like it is going to be a sod to tighten as the area to work in is minimal. Any hints or tips would be greatly appreciated.

    Repairs in Scotland or near Inverness?

    What is that? That is the rattly thing and it's hard to remove or tighten as it's seized. More importantly, is it expensive?

    A2 Opensky electrical problem?

    Hi. Just removed the motor, it's actually 4 screws not three. That had me stumped for a while. I took the circuit board off of the motor assembly and checked the bare motor. It works, or at least it turns. I then did a rudimentary circuit check of the circuit board but did not see anything...

    A2 Opensky electrical problem?

    It does seem super clean already and well greased from when I did it last year. When opening the roof manually how stiff should it be?
