    CANCELLED! Simply Audi - Beaulieu 14 April 2024

    If you read through the thread you'll see that the re-arrarranged date clashes with the Kimbolton County Fair where the Club is already committed to a stand, so this year Simply Audi is off the calendar.

    Sad news

    As others have said, I'm another who hasn't met or spoken to you in person but who is well aware of your contributions to the forum. I hope you can take a bit of comfort from the outpouring of sympathy here and, in your own time, return to the fold.

    Why travel?

    I very much doubt it's an actual photograph of a street anywhere 🤣.

    Which wiper blade ?

    https://www.wiperblades.co.uk/audi-a2-years-2002-to-2005-wiper-blades# The Bosch Aerotwin is my recommendation.

    Did I not read on the forum that another member was in the process of buying Kleynie's OSS repair business?

    Disc axle swap

    Have a look at what the Highway Code advises about parking on a gradient

    Disc axle swap

    Two things. If you concentrate on the job in hand i.e. driving, there should never be a reason for 'emergency braking' and, if you followed the advice given in the Highway Code, you'd always leave the car in the appropriate gear when parking, especially on a gradient.

    Feeling like driving on ice

    Are the tyres at the recommended pressure? The correct pressures for different loads are listed inside the fuel filler flap. Over inflated tyres will make the steering feel lighter than it should be. If the tyres are correctly inflated, has there been a long dry spell followed by rain in the...

    Help needed with headlights - MOT tomorrow

    I had a 'Pass with Defects' last month on my Land Rover Freelander 1. The defect was 'split rear wiper blade'. The rubber was split for around an inch at the top end. The OEM replacement doesn't have a split but neither does it have the correct curvature to effectively clear the window as well...

    Maintenance

    Thanks for the advance warning Ben. I will use the next three weeks to prepare by stopping browsing the site 15 minutes earlier every couple of evenings until I reach the 9.00 pm target.

    Wind Deflector/ Drivers who smoke. Yes, i know.

    It's worth trying having one or both of the rear windows open. That seems to reduce the helicopter/drumming effect and might help to direct the smoke out of the car.

    Disable pad wear sensor?

    When I first saw this post I assumed it was an April Fool thing but, because it went on after 12 noon, didn't respond on the basis that the jokes aren't permitted after then!

    Kumhos are brilliant

    I bought a couple of new centre caps from the local Audi main dealer and, within a year, I couldn't tell the difference between the new ones and the remaining two 15 years old ones. The outer shiny rim was mottled with white, completely ruining the appearance. Lacquer would probably be the best...

    headlights know issue?

    As audifan says, don't fit illegal LED bulbs. The MOT tester won't pass an A2 with them fitted and, because they would dazzle other road users, you'd be likely to fall into the hands of the Police.

    headlights know issue?

    It is a known issue and the most common way of resolving it is to remove the headlights, use a hairdryer and a soft cloth on a stick (or similar) to dry them out completely and then drill a couple of small holes in the underside of the unit and, in a 'belt and braces' approach, to use a few...

    Complete failure of headlights

    My brother has recently bought a Toyota something or other - a hybrid electric, I believe - and he's very pleased with the function of the headlights which dip from main beam whenever the car spots an oncoming vehicle. As someone who always uses main beam in anything other than urban areas, I...

    Electric A2

    And I would buy it if, like every vehicle I've bought since retirement 10 years ago, it cost less than £1,500!

    Chat Too Old 😭

    I'm currently in receipt of a pension into which I began paying at the age of 26 and which has been paying me monthly since I was 63. The actuarial estimate was that I would die at the age of 77; 20 months to go before I start winning!
