Hi again,

Just a note to say i've got it now. Bright red looks the business!!

Is there anything i should be wary of?

great - hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed my (old) two - I had a Misano red S3 and have considered going back to one.

Things to look out for? Faulty DV (Diverter Valves), boost leaks, faulty coilpacks, dodgy 3rd gear synchros (the S3/TT have numerous gearbox variant codes), creaking roll bar bushes, Leon Cupra R/Skoda/Diesel boys trying it on, Audi dealer charges!

There will be more and i'm sure the regular S3 boys will post more.
M3 CSL - Silver Grey, a few options.
