Alacantra Bubbling
I have the B7 RS4 in exclusive trim which means half the seats and door cards are an off white alacantra material. The problem is both front seats (bum area) have started to bubble and look quite naff. Could someone please suggest what I should do or what product would be best. I have been told I co...

I have had my B7 for just over a year and have not really been a fan of Mercedes in the past. A mate works for a dealer and we took out a white C63 and I can honestly say that I never thought a Merc could sound like this. I love the 4.2V8 in the RS4 but the Merc noise is in a different league. The i...

Wow! Nice to hear the females are well represented here, pleasently surprised. I was talking to a colleague about buying the VAGCOM software and what it did. It got a little techincal and I asked him if I was becoming a geek. He thought it was worthwhile but that I should never tell a woman what I w...

Jim, I will be taking it to the local dealer this week and take your advise by kicking up a stink! You are right about the speed humps, the ones around here are massive, honestly its almost absurd how high they are. I will be posting the results here when I hear back from the dealer and let everyone...

rAudiguy, Unfortunately it occurs throughout the turning circle. You are quite correct that it does happen whilst I am moving slowly and whilst stationary. To be honest I think its something to do with the bushes or the suspension as I have massive speed ramps near my house. I guess I have to take i...
