RS4 pedal retrofit

11 March 2014 I picked up a set of RS4 pedals to go into the A4. Just the brake, accelerator and clutch (no footrest) and had a go at fitting them on Sunday afternoon. They are essentially a prettier set of covers that…

Deep cleaning Interior seats and carpet

02 December 2013 This isn't really my kind of thing, but 10 years and 100,000+ miles takes it's toll on a car's interior. To roll back some of the years I thought I'd have a go at deep cleaning the seats and carpet…
