I was the chap next to you in the Nogaro blue B6 S4 Avant at the lights

Just been to MRC and had the starter motor replaced. Works a treat, sounds totally different too.
Woohoo!!!

Porsche horsepower is usually on the conservative side, and you have to take weight, aerodynamics, and gearing into consideration. Having owned several 911s i can safely say that time and again i outran cars which, on paper, i shouldn't have stood any chance against. The main thing i'd put it down t...

Thanks for the feedback

Try http://www.event-tyres.co.uk/ as an alternative - i've used them on and off for a few years and they've always been very good.

Oh, and i don't blame you for telling them where to put their tyres, i would have been equally annoyed. Ludicrous!

Bushy, did you used to have a B5 RS4 in grey?
I used to see a car with a "BUSHY" numberplate around the area (i'm in Lower Earley).

I paid about that for coils from Doug at MRC.
We keep four spare in the car (since the S4 breaking down on tour would not be funny!).

If it's any consolation i am currently experiencing EXACTLY the same issue as you on my 03 plate 68k mile S4 4.2 Avant.

Go to this place and buy the oil you want and supply it yourself.

Cheap car - shouldn't take long to sell. I've had 4 993s, if i was in the market for a 5th you'd be getting a call!

If it's a '99 doesn't that make it a B5 rather than a B6/B7?

Or am i confused?

RS6? Good choice.

An S4 and an RS4? Greedy - i like it!
