Don't mean to appear frenzied ref oil prices, just considering the options. Ref placement of the LPG tank, that was a cause for concern for me also, I bought an Avant for a reason (well, 2 reasons really, firstly because I needed the space and secondly because real RSs are all Avants - but everybody...

The resale value depreciation point is a good one, been looking at that from 2 perspectives: 1. We're on the cusp of a step change with regards to fuel prices and fossil fuels in general, and alternative fuels/technologies are very much in the ascendant, so resale prices on cars like ours are only g...

LPG Conversions

All, Before I launch into this one, I should point-out that I'm not Russian, and I don't like M3s. So here goes.... Has anyone looked into LPG conversions for Audis in general and RS4s in particular? I understand that this will be anathema to most if not all of you/us, and that you/we bought the car...

At the risk of repeating whats already been alluded to: Importing a car to NI from the Mainland is a lovely way of wiping its history. I lived in NI until last year, I had bought a B5 on the Mainland, but as you will appreciate, when it came time to re-tax it, it was a case of either sending all the...

ECU SW confusion, advice sought

All, Looking for some advice. Recently acquired a 56 plate Avant having PX'd my B5. Very pleased with the result. However, not entirely convinced the garage knew quite what they were on with reference to ECU SW. I have read my way through all the ECU related threads I can find, but remain confused (...

Not sure what they're upto, the car is still up for 15, 995 on pistonheads, but Fontains themselves have yet to quote a price on their website.

The boss from Fontains is on here-would image he monitors any thread associated with his garage fairly closely.

Car is in good nick. Slight scratches on bonnet, (polishable outable?) one or two stone chips. Alloys (all hard) a bit scuffed in places but nothing dramatic (Fontains may recondition?) Does smell a little of somebodyelse's cigarettes though, and paint worn-off lighter would seem to indicate a heavy...

Fontain's vs mainstraem stealers

Looking at changing my B5 for a B7 Avant, been floating round here fairly regularly for a year, so fairly familiar with issues surrounding both models, incl most recent impact of fuel costs etc....Poole Audi have a car I'm interested in, as do Fontain's (both black Avants). Is anyone aware of any is...
