• Corsa battery and Master cylinder 2 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  ? is it REALLY that difficult to remove. Anyone got the definitive method of removal?? Similarly the brake master cylinder seems inaccessible too and it looks like the o/s wiper arm has to be removed before access can be gained to do a simple job like checking/ topping up the reservoir.

• Audi S6 16 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  to it! The car itself is, as you?d expect, supremely competent, but as is often the case with 4WD, it?s secure rather than exciting. After the S6, the 3.2 A4 cabrio seemed dull ?
