£450, up almost £100, I haven’t had the HPFP on mine yet, or the timing chain, so hoping it will need in the next 2 years, can’t think of anything else that may need doing. The recent replacement of the callipers made the previous warranty worth it, but it’s a gamble moving forward with the...

Hi I know this subject has probably been done to death, but I have concerns with the jacking points on my car. When my car was last in the MD for warranty work they bent one of the rear jacking points, I couldn’t be bothered raising with them at the time as I was tired of the fiasco with the...

I think a lot of these parts price wise is due to Brexit, had my renewal last week for my extended warranty. the increase was a bit of a shock, but to me essential moving forward. I can carry on with this for the next 2 years so hopefully by then all the weak points will have been done under...

Brilliant news, it does look generally a very good car, what happened with the plate? Enjoy the car they really are special.

Great car in the day!

Does the LSD on the R share the oil with the gearbox?

It’s so hard to imagine how it could get like that, weird, it could be replaced quite easily though. Watching current prices here though Rs seem to be hanging around a long time before they sell, also there seems to be a gradual dip in value happening. I wonder long term how this will pan out...

Well spotted! Jesus that R badge is unbelievable! need a keen eye for that, yes agree with the seats I spotted that this morning when viewing close up, I think you need to be sympathetic when climbing in and out of the R, I have always been careful with all my cars that way, something that...

Yes they are more readily available here, but finding a good one will become increasingly harder like any other marque. I don’t consider 300 to be a lot though, 32 we’ll I would snap up at that price. I wouldn’t fancy taking on a bad condition one due to the price and availability of parts now...

That car looks stunning! I prefer the red as mine is, but I am biased lol I just think the R looks good in any colour, stunning looking sports car. Good price too.

Well as the title, I am 10 months in getting the R where I want it to be condition wise, the guy who I bought it off gave me some bullshit story about why he was selling, I was drawn into buying the R due to full MD history and PUG extended warranty, this was crucial to me, as we already owned...

I would just search where you are through the normal classifieds, as I understand there weren’t many exported to Australia, understandable really as more of you guys are fixated with Holden, I know as I owned a Monaro for 15 years and had a few friends through the forum in Australia, also...

I looked at the tarox before changing mine, they look a great piece of kit, only worth it though in my view if your going to do a lot of track work, meaning you will be changing the disc more often. I just think the OEM disc are so good like everything else on the car, is it worth going with an...

The one at £16750 seems to be for sale at 2 different places, it started at SAT still for sale there, now at sidegate motors slightly cheaper, never seen that before.

Yes obviously I know that, I was burned many times in the Monaro running 500 bhp by many R/S audi’s I think my post has been misunderstood regarding the R, I meant to say the R makes you feel good not that it’s the fastest car I’ve owned.

I go on the inner subframe at the front, and Jack under the shock absorber base at the back, I have never had a car with such poor jacking points in my life, the dealer bent the rear jacking points when my car was last in, not happy!

I have been reading some of your back catalogues about driving the R, so interesting, especially with you racing the TTs on the autobahn. We have a TT just an average TDI and it feels heavy, but I do prefer the driving position to the R, the R seats don’t go low enough in my opinion but that’s...

Going to do mine myself after reading this thread, do you know the capacity for the oil ?

you must have a keener eye than me Kerr, but as said there are plenty on here that know more than me. I always look at the detail with the Rs for sale, and very rarely does a good one come up, think Flanners described them as the dogs that are cheap. I personally think mine is worth more than...
