S3 Fwend!
Looks a lot better after the rotary, I desperately need mine doing. I'd check the Haldex & cam follower pretty sharpish as its not expensive to sort them both and will save you a boat load of money in the long run if either does go tits up. Its worth just doing the Haldex oil & filter anyways regardless, its about £70 for the oil, filter & the tool.
I'd be a little weary of using a Miltek, especially a used one as quite a few of them seem to crack. I'm going for a BCS system on mine, they seem to be better built and they are cheaper.

BCS cheaper?
I got quoted £1350/1500 for mine??? So there shouldn't be much difference. Ill be keeping my Scorpion with that price.
That being said the BCS systems do seem like real quality workmanship.

I finally have an AUX port!
Okay, you read it, nearly £12k's worth of car and it doesn't have an
AUX port. Not to worry, between Ross and myself we plumbed one in.
After ordering a bit of kit off eBay it turned out to be the wrong one. We chopped the plug off and by using the wiring diagram we hooked it into the Stereo. Ross then plugged in the laptop to programme the radio to pick up the Aux input by pressing CD twice.
It works!
& then it stopped working on the way home, only works if I push the stereo inwards, presuming loose connection. Nothing a new mould of a plug won't sort. Until I save enough for an RNS anyway.
Other then that, a pretty cool pic of when Ross revved his V8 with my car behind it. Ah the v8 noise <3

You got a link to the kit you used Dom?
Looking at options for connecting my iPod up in my A3, this might be worth a look

How did you go about programming the radio mate?
Did you need any special software?

This is the one we should have got - be careful with which head unit you have as we actually ordered the wrong connector and had to modify it heavily - which is why I think we now have a loose wire... 
Here's what we SHOULD have ordered (Dom currently has a Concert 2):

All done and dusted now, got some LED's in the interior of the car and hopefully some new number plates on route too. Similar to this style but gloss black instead of carbon fibre.
May need a new windscreen too. I'll leave that till next week though. Oh and Alloy wheels refurb and colour change next Monday.
