Have a bit here - glad I fitted my winter wheels last weekend :)

I don't think the £20 is a limited offer really - it's been on for at least 4 years.. lol It's good if you want to change tyres whilst doing a refurb: Get new tyres cheap from Camskill or similar - take them with the alloys and they'll come back complete for £30 a wheel. It could cost you £10 -...

I think between me and the Mrs we've had 5 sets of 4 wheels and tyres done there at least over the last 5 years or so: Often loading the A2 up for a multiple drop off: £20 a wheel - I think it's a chuffin' bargain.

It may be a tad too far for you, but I've always gone to these guys in Birmingham: https://www.citypowdercoaters.co.uk/ It's a 3 hour round trip for me but the value for money can't be questioned in my opinion. £20 a bare wheel - Chemical strip, Shot blast, Refurbish, Fully powder coat, Powder...

You know you live in a "car" house when you've the winter set of wheels in the house for some fettling and the wife doesn't remotely think it's odd.. I love my wife.. ;)

I bought my A2 as a replacement for the Ford Puma I had - something a bit more economical for my 75 mile a day commute. I hadn't thought about one until I started to follow a 54 plate one on a stretch of my commute (still do and we wave now!). Autotrader that night and one was on the drive not...

Another post in the boring thread of reliability.. lol Another oil and filer change at APS Brackley (can't recommend them enough) - and a trouble free fresh MOT acquired. Happened to be there when the wife's TT was also getting some TLC so a chance for a "family" photo: 126k miles and going...

Just for info: I asked the helpful chaps at www.powerenhancer.co.uk as to which product would be best to clean the injectors* and they recommended AR6900-D MAX. Seems to have done the trick and cleared the slight hesitation I had going up a steep hill on full load...

Your first car: 1982 Metro 1.3S Last car you sold: 2005 BMW E46 M3 - despite the plaudits, I thought it was quite dull. Last car you bought : 2016 Ford Focus RS Favourite car you ever owned: 1999 Ford Puma - so good I created an owners club Longest you've ever owned a car: 1986 Vauxhall Nova SR...

Can't help you with a garage recommendation, but check your lower wishbone bushes too as that's been a cause for wheel shuddering under braking for me previously.

Doesn't look like it from the outside. Sorry.

What with the tensions and atmosphere surrounding A2OC at the moment, I won't be attending. Hope you all have a good show.

Yes, it's a mk1. So turning up on the day is ok to get on stand? No pre-purchased stand passes required or anything?

Much like Muska I don't know if I can attend yet (as I'll be knee deep in wedding arrangements) but if I can make it I'd love to. The fact the show entrance is literally 6 miles away from my front door means I should really make an effort! Could I just turn up on the day and wangle my way to...

Now done over 50,000 miles in the tin can and still at 60.6mpg Had a quick little tot-up of how much it's cost me in maintenance in my ownership and it's about £450 what with services, MOTs and new brakes front and back so £90 per 10,000 miles or thereabouts. Not bad. Tax is £30 p.a...

I've tracked mine on Spritmonitor ever since I bought it so I have accurate records rather than DIS fiction ;) So in 46,606 miles I've averaged 60.6mpg. In the last 7 months on the chart it's been up as high as 71.3mpg on a decent run and down to 56.6mpg when traversing London which is...

Funny you say that - I was thinking exactly the same thing!

Spotted this today in Corby - some lucky learner driving a cracker! It was a tad grubby though!

No I didn't - I chanced my arm with some far east knock offs at £20 for 4 (got 8 so the OH had some for her TT) and they seem really good to me TBH. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-Pieces-OEM-Wheel-Center-Cap-Hub-8D0601165K-For-AUDI-A2-A3-A4-A6-S6-A8-TT-RS6-/252787865652 Do they look ok? EDIT -...

All I seem to post about is changing wheels, but as nothing is going wrong or getting modified, that's the only changes! Had the 17s freshly stripped and powdercoated as well as a pair of new rainsport 3. Took them into the back bedroom and applied Gtechniq C1 to them and let it cure for a few...
