Where can I get an AUDI A4 Single DIN Head Unit Adapter?

Car Repair Costs?
Hi, Just been down to the garage with my clapped out old Clio. Heaps of stuff wrong with it and probably now not worth having expensive stuff done as it's such an old car.

My house is 6 years old and none of the housing estate is included on the Satnav maps, nor is a local road closure from 3 years ago, which makes me question how useful it's going to be given the road changes/new builds going on everywhere. I have queried this…

We are buying a car on Friday it looks as though we will be buying from a car dealer. Does anybody have any tips on getting the best price and how to go about it. Also is there a rough % that the salesman has to play with when selling. Any other tips would be great too. Thanks Lisa

Personal Number Plates
The new 57 plate was released for sale on 5th June, and with 57 looking like "ST" there will be lots of good number plates available. A lot of the combinations are only available during June, and will not then be offered for sale again (I'm guessing they are just added to the pool of numbers to be issued randomly). I've…
