An a4 2.0 TDI is considered more "mid life" than a 2.0 TSI scirocco? :lol:

Re: what gear at 30 ?

I haven't been driving long so the influence from my instructor probably still plays a part, she insisted I upchanged really early and I barely had the revs over 2000 throughout my learning and it has just stuck over the last 2 years. I won't lie I didn't really contemplate possible engine labouring...

Re: what gear at 30 ?

An you;re probably also the most boring person on the planet.

Re: what gear at 30 ?

I'm a 140 driver and it really depends for me. If I'm going uphill (even relatively minor gradient) then it will be in third but if I'm on the flat or on a gentle downhill then I'll more than likely put it into fourth as I hardly need any power to continue motion. However, I wouldn't accelerate fro...

Re: what gear at 30 ?

I have a 2.0 TSI but I RARELY find myself out of 6th gear, even around town it will go along fine in 6th at 30, only have to downshift to 3rd or 4th for hills or for junctions etc but I live in quite a rural place so apart from accelerating I am usually in 6th.

Re: The World Cup!

I think I am one of the few Scot's that want England to do well but as an Arsenal fan I am disappointed to see Walcott dropped.

Still think Spain will win it, they were untouchable at the Euro's

Re: Radio Gaga

I used to have a 2gb USB that worked fine in the car, but I upgraded to an 8gb usb recently and I have to manually disconnect and reconnect the usb everytime I turn the ignition off in order for it to read. Anyone have any idea why? (sorry for the thread derail)

P.s , 80gb of music?! Thats alot haha

Re: Anyone go to a David Lloyd gym?

My uni gym is only £35 / year :D And there are alot of benefits to having a gym, for starters if you lift weights then you need to go to a gym. You can't go into the forest and bench press logs and stuff lol, it isn't going to work. Also with stuff like running instead of treadmill, rowing instead o...

Re: DRL's can't now be turned off!

Was there not mention of a new law stating all cars made after a certain time wud require DRL's? The roc was made a year ago with DRL's to fulfill this criteria but the option to turn it off, now new roc's legally have to have DRL's so can't be turned off? I remember something like this being mentio...
