Mustang Friend!Was starting to get dark but snapped two quick pics. Looks much better than gloss black and I love the fleck in the silver.
Best color too

Cleaned my pod filter and saw how mucky it was and modified the protection plate that sits below to fit again so it does not get so dirty. It interferes with the new intercooler.
Also got some fresh wiper blades
I would have gone with Michelin Stealth blades. They are bloody amazing.

Congrats on not having a white one 
Just sent it back. The lease ended and they collected it tonight. I don't think I'll be leasing again. Leasing solved a problem for me two years ago but I still have the Mini so will be using that for a while. I'll miss the Evoque a little. It was a fantastic car on a cold, wet, winters day or on a long distance trip. Butthere were some annoying things with it such as an awful infotainment system and a mind of its own when it didn't want to release the brakes when I first started it up.

Replaced the battery before weather gets too cold. Last February I found the car wouldn't start after a cold snap, I hadn't driven it for 6 weeks. Gave it a good charge/recondition but I don't want that surprise again.
I think this is the original factory battery
Car was an 09 plate and this code means 2009 right?
Impressed considering it's survived a breakdown due to broken alternator belt, and being left discharged last winter. Maybe my start/stop will work better now
Also found the small crevice tool from my handheld vacuum, I was questioning if this ever existed. It was tucked down in the battery well!

I have discovered that my 09 A3 tells me when my washer fluid is low... First car I've ever had with that in.
Little things.... lol

And if it has headlight washers, they wont operate while the warning is active, to save the remaining fluid for the screen

A3 is an AudiI think most cars do it to be fair!
It was in relation to headlight washers not working when the low fluid is triggered. I understand plenty of cars have low fluid warning lights/messages.
