Re: RS4 open boot from inside cabin!

Re: RS4 open boot from inside cabin!

I got stuck in the highlands as a electric fault emptied my battery overnight and I had to find and fit a new battery in the rain with a car full of luggage, baby seats etc. There was no way to jump the car under the bonnet, so therefore no open boot, so I had to take the battery through the car.

Re: Koni shock absorbers

I also went for the Koni option after a pair of shocks started rattling on my Avant. The car is used daily, and I couldn't wait around to diagnose and rebuild the DRC. The cost too didn't appeal, especially as the car has given me some big bills already this year (front arms, electric faults - sever...
