Thanks for all the input, fellas. I've had a few probs in the last couple of weeks which prevented me from responding & now I'm off to la belle France for another couple of weeks, so I'll reply in detail to various questions & thoughts that you have raised when I get back

Recently I had 4 new Bridgestone SO3 (225/45ZR17) fitted followed eventually by new Konis fitted together with replacement top mounts, front steering arms & then had a wheel alignment done but I'm not convinced that the set up is a great improvement. The composure & stability seems a bit lacking. Qu...

One of my work colleagues has seen a black accident damaged RS2 at Bishopstoke in Hants over the weekend & was worried that it may have been mine. As it isn't, is it anyone of our group? If so, I hope that you are ok as the damage looked extensive although the drivers side was relatively the least a...

I've still got mine now with 137000 miles on the clock. It's black when it's clean, but more of a muddy brown right now.

Cheers

I've been down to Micheldever Tyres today after reading all of your comments on tyre options & decided to go for the SO3 's. While I was there the fitters mentioned that another RS2 had been in yesterday but couldn't remember what they had re booted it with or any details of the car - just wondered ...

On 2nd October 04, under the subject 'cross drilled brake discs', Robo 2nd gear said that the RS2 parts cd is available on eBay via Etka but I can't find it. This is probably due to me being an internet dummy, so if anyone knows how to get it, or if you see this post Robo, I'd appreciate more info. ...

Sorry about lack of response on this one from me. I have checked the colour of mine & it seems that it's the same Volcano Black Pearl all over, except for the door pillars & roof rails which are more like a matt black. Yesterday, I went to collect some paint to spray the lower door trims & was surpr...

Me too in Hampshire under mire. By the way are any of you Southern UK RS2 owners thinking of going to either the next meet or one in the near future as I would enjoy a chat

Sorry I can't make it but I did go 2 days early on 27/10/03 because I'm an idiot - at least I know where it is for the next meeting!

Also many thanks to those who have responded to my questions

I don't mind a firm ride (was this a bishop to actress comment or vice versa?), but my suspension, on the car, that is, can best be described as 'clonky' both front & back. The car also seems to want to step out at the rear when it becomes unsettled on bumpy corners. By comparison my wife's A4 Turbo...

I've put these together as I have a feeling they are part of the same problem. The trip computer swears that I'm running out of fuel after I've used about 30 litres, but I have learned to ignore it & fill up when it really panics. However I've never managed to get more than 45 litres in (so there's ...

My lower door trims need replacing as two have already abandoned the car the other two are thinking about it.The local Audi dealer says they are specific to the RS2,they are not S2 parts, but all that I have read suggests otherwise. I've been quoted over 300.00 + vat for the 4 main trims with the cl...

Do all RS2 drivers have to push the clutch pedal through the bulkhead to get into gear? In particular reverse is very difficult & first is almost as bad, after that it's a bit easier. It seems to have been worse in the hot weather & as I've only owned the car since July hot weather is what we've had...

My RS2 oil pressure today was 2.3 bar at 750 rpm tickover, oil temp 60 deg c (it's never been off the lowest stop even in the hot weather), water temp 88 deg c, ambient temp 17 deg c - all this was after a 10 mile slow drive home. I left the engine running until the fan cut in at about 95 deg c & th...

Hello David
Thanks for welcome. I have some problems which I will be putting on the forum soon.
As you are in Berks can you recommend any service outfit that I could use - I'm in Basingstoke area, but I don't mind travelling for decent service & good advice
