Re: Possible gearbox problem

Hi @Neilb76 had something similar, sat on A1 in roadworks near Leeds, and noticed gear change from 2nd to 3rd was getting very lumpy. Then for no reason, it cut out. Put into neutral and took 2 attemps to restart. Had no warning lights on dash, can only guess the gearbox was getting hot and threw it...

Rear discs

Hello all

I have recently changed my rear discs and kept the old one. These still have a bit of life in them so thought about selling. Few pics, have been cleaned as best I could, are approx 22 - 23mm in thickness. Looking for about £300 incl postage.

Re: Insurance reccomendations

Evening all

Just renewed insurance through go compare, and got price down from £970ish to £516. The drivescore app couldn't do any better, nor could my insurance company. Gone from Swinton to Aviva 👍👍

Re: B8 RS4 - Brake disc, pads and hoses - Available parts listed in this thread

@bmostert got my nephew to order me some EBC 2 piece floating disc's, 380mm, and EBC yellowstuff pads. Just need to collect them and fit, bought B8 disc's and B9 pads due to the different caliper fitted.

Fingers crossed they fit!!

Aren't the ceramic options even bigger than standard disc's?

Re: Insurance reccomendations

Evening

I downloaded an app called Drivescore, put details in etc and it monitors your driving. Also has the option to do insurance quotes on this app, did it last year and knocked a fair bit off. Will be doing the same again at end of Feb.
