Passed the 40K just before Christmas as predicted; closer to 41K now and about 300 miles overdue for a service......

Winter tyres haven't seen a flake of snow either  :sad:  They have been impressive in the cold and rain we've had though so I'm reasonably happy.

Long term average is above 45mpg and improving slowly.

After the service its either going to be a case of make it go faster or make it stop quicker.........

Stop quicker  :wink: What can be done cheaply?

Aldi and cheaply don't go together  :grin: :grin:

Looking at S3 / R32 brakes; can't be doing with 312's this time around!!  Think S3 front's go for about £400  :undecided:

Whats on it ATM ?

288's......

Although some people on Audi Sport reckon they came with 312's but I know mine don't as there's room between the caliper and the inside of my 16's.  On the Golf with 312's and 16's you could barely fit a piece of paper between them  :laugh:

S3 / R32 brakes are 345mm  :smiley:

Yeah i remember the 16" on the mk4  :grin:

How about some brembro calipers?  :cool: :cool:

Might be worth looking at the later Leon Cupra R set up maybe.

Need to look into further...

Same as S3 / R32 aren't they?  Thought Seat didn't use Brembo in the newest Curpa?  :undecided:

Not sure, but I think your right and it is not Brembos now.

I'd check your pads first as I don't seem to have a problem with my brakes mate... Maybe I just ain't pressing the pedal hard enough  :grin:
