    Audi A5

    twas a diesel one i was in today, i was sat staring at the interior for a couple of hours doing some static brake switch testing so no major fun and investigation but omg i didnt need to. if i were looking round garages and got in that i would get straight back out, its horrible inside. heres a brochure pic. basically my biggest problem is that mess in the middle around the gear stick. i was in an auto but it looks not far off in that pic where the gear stick sits. so: -The gear stick when in park means you cant actually use the controls infront of it as its so close to the fascia, which includes the AC control and other temperature related things. -The temperature controls are definately not the best laid out things in the world quite confusing to operate. you have to press either the fan, vent location, heated seat, or temp and then adjust it, there is a set on either side for passenger and driver with a dail each. so god forbid you want to change them at once, you'll have to take turns as the screen can only cope with one at a time. -This leads me onto the drab boring screen, it looks dated, i know its not essential but some graphics would be nice, not just a bundle of text and a tiny line drawing. -the main rotary control can be clicked to select but also has four buttons round it for more selection and to top it off a further button behind it to go back a screen, which is neatly sandwiched between the radio station skip fwd back butons. so while playing with it i kept hitting station change oh and adding further to this mess you have to highlight one of the 8 buttons dotted round the knob defining what screen you want; radio, nav, setup, phone, etc. i felt like touch typing was a requirement for owning this vehicle. -the vents have very little range of movement so sod being able to aim them where you want. -the starting system felt very unnatural and i found myself getting confused at first. basically you can use the keyless system and engine start button, all very normal. but on the dash is a slot for the key, no problems here... however when you push the key in it clicks into place and pushing it a bit firther the engine starts. I didnt want that to happen!! may mate was connecting up the cables in the engine bay, he cacked himself at first i didnt know why it had started and thought my mate had done something in the engine bay. Why have 2 methods for starting the car??? - the boot required a fair amount of force to get it to shut and just run away if you didnt get it all the way closed, it shoots back up with the power of a medieval siege weapon. overall i wasnt impressed and really didnt care that i wasnt able to take it out on the road Audi A5... Epic fail
  2. DO IT! never pass up an opportunity like that profit!! ££ £9,425 for mine

  5. Quick update: just got the email saying the dials have been posted this is the address they come from, quite cool eh? BLACK CAT CUSTOM AUTOMOTIVE 2315 WHIRLPOOL ST UNIT #409 NIAGARA FALLS NY 14305-2413 also got the tiny LED's today for the heated seats... think i went a bit too tiny though, i'll double check but the package size 0603 ones i ordered may be a little to small im going to try them out anyway and also try putting in a plcc2 one aswell see if i can fit them onto it and how bright hey will be (if they survive). Not long to wait now people. Oh, i also ordered some red plcc2 thinking i may have a look and see what it looks like with red highlights instead of blue...
  6. sure looks like a heated screen button to me, i didnt even realise nissan did heated screens i thought it was a fordish thing?

  12. define "nice orange" does it exist? *sound of pattering feet as husky runs away from the orange crew* NOTE before im killed: i dont mind the orange really, just not my taste

    Fuel Problem

    150 for a dome light, but WHY? theres just no need for that, i can only assume they have very poor deals with thier suppliers for buying bits for warranty fixes. even still its way over what youd think it should be. heres to hoping i dont balls up the dials then

    Fuel Problem

    WTF lol My guess would be the whole cluster needs changing, not just the fuel part. Husky you should know that, you've had the gauges apart oh not yet i havent that joyfull job is for an entire free weekend incase i balls it up as its my only car. but yes i know you have to do the cluster as a oner just cant believe its that much
  19. I think the idea is he hasnt got anywhere to keep the car while hes on holiday so what would he do with another car?
  20. ney, i havent. but i assumed it was on by default, that would make sense. i'll check when i get home. there are a few things that happend rounda about the time it started happening. 1: xbox media extender thing. I set this up and to do so made rules in my firewall specifically for this purpose, the rules were straight from the guide on doing this. After deciding the system was of no use to me i removed the custom rules i had made. however, when the computer is off and its xox live i have the same problem. 2: my neighbors have moved out leaving thier house empty. we share the one phone line with two lines down it, cant remember what this system is called, its for when BT havent got enough space to add the extra line. My thought now after eliminating other things is it may be a line fault. who knows, maybe my neighbor damaged the phone line when moving out and as we share the same route to the exchange its duffed mine up. tried phoning plusnet last night but unlike last time they were very busy so i left it, will continue the saga tonight
  21. just dont use the site at all matey. its a bag of sh*** for people who are either very desperate or clueless. my mate had his pristine low milage audi s2 worth easliy 5k valued at 300 quid we did extract the urine for a while about that one
