Something wrong with the original booking? you still getting the 06.50 train?

Also I'm at Audi having the car serviced tomorrow , will ask them about the headlights but if they start wanting to charge the earth. Could I also have my headlights adjusted when we all meet up. Thank you

Re-booked for the return journey only. Otherwise, no other changes.

Me too, especially Mac's blinging track wheels. If it gets dark, you'll see his car a mile off! :wink:

Final hotel is booked as per peoples requests.

When the car was in for a service I asked about the headlights having them adjusted for Europe. Now the answer that came back was prior to looking, I have one of three types fitted:-

Adjust via the Audi Computer (Guessign Vagcom)
Manual levers on each headlight (Just swing over)
Or headlamp covers with the approipate lens stickers to adjust the beam.

So after them checking for what must have been 10 minutes, my headlights have no levers, and cannot be adjusted via the Audi Computer. They said for my car I require the lenses to be fitted.

Anyone else had this so far? My car is a March 06 Reg

I've never heard of B7 RS4 ones that can't be adjusted with Vag-com - it's just a matter of changing an adaptation channel to tourist mode so that the beam goes straight ahead instead of dipping left. Where abouts are you?

Not planning on it but it is a requirement. Tempted just to take the headlight stickies with me for the trip and put on if necessary. Having issues downloading the Rosstech info. anyway so for all going you may be better doing the same as me or finding someone who can use VAG-COM to alter your headlight settings.
