My S4 just failed its MoT due to a cracked rear coil spring, which I am fairly sure was caused by the eastern European roads in west Kent. Never had a car fail an MoT in the 22 years I have lived in the UK. Booked in to John Bowles in Sevenoaks on Mondy for a replacement – getting both rear springs ...

Would like to fit a Milltek exhaust, Hotchkis ARBs and possibly an AmD remap to my S4 but not sure of the insurance implications. Current policy is £477, and the cheapest I have found with these mods declared is £200 more. I assume that people are always up front on here about telling their insurers...

thanks. Yes they are a little cheesy!

Why do some S4s have discrete V8 badges near the side indicators and others, like mine, don't?! Any idea where these can be acquired?

Does anyone know how many B7 S4s were sold in the UK, and what the split between Avants, Saloons and Cabriolets was?

Thanks. How do they cope with not having a hoist, as I took my Clio Trophy to my local Renault specialist at Ren7Oaks on Saturday for a little bit of work and mentioned Four RIngs to him? Like me, he was wary of any mechanic not being able to get at car and look at it from underneath

Quoted £395 + VAT for a six-year/60,000-mile service – excuse my ignorance, but I presume that is a major one? Have only had the car since October, so this will be my first experience of an S4 service. The Audi garage in Tonbridge were awfully polite, but I did feel a little out of place, and the bi...

Thanks David. Certainly worth considering. How many times have you used them? I've also had a price from AmD in Essex too

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I assume that the Hotchkis S4 Sport Sway Bar Set would do the trick rather than the company's hardcore RS4 set, as I don't plan on trackdays for the Avant?

Thanks. What do Hotchkis ARBs retail for?

What is the general view on the worthiness of RS4 anti-roll bars on the S4? Sure would like to dial out a little of the body wobble in my Avant when cornering if possible. Been quoted £180 for a pair by AmD Essex, and £144 (inc VAT) for fitting

Has anyone used AmD in Essex for S4 servicing? They seem to be about the closest specialist garage to me here in Sevenoaks, and I was wondering if anyone on here has experience of their work, and what a six year service would cost?

Sorry, mileage should be 45,600! Would be a great trick if I could indeed wind the clock back when I drove it!

Hello everyone from sunny West Kent. I have owned my 05 S4 Avant since October 10, having acquired it from the Audi VW independent garage in Bromham, Wilts. A manual, and metallic dark blue in colour, it had had two previous owners (the first was a BP exec from Bournemouth who clearly got his fuel o...
