new and in need of advice

[rayzorneal]

Recently bought as very low mileage A4 cab 2.6 auto. Very nice overall condition but have a couple of niggles, can anone help.

1. Need cig lighter as the roriginal one missing,
2. Blanking plate (near heated rear window switch needed - someone has lost it)
3. Original cd/radio cassette needed. One in the car is cheap cd player that does not interface with stalk controller.

4. Most impotant. when moving sound from engine bay is similar to the noise generated from rusty disks, the ones are clean and when turning on right lock noise is far worse. Also when starting off when loaded, front wheels seem to loose traction and then regain it making strange noise. I have considered that it is the driveshafts, but car only done 60,000 over 13 year period. Any comments guys?

In any event thanks and hope to speak again soon.

Ps. Should I join a club to get parts and so on.
PPS. Need tips on leather conditioning. No rips but thinks car has been laid up some while and needs a good restore and feed.

I've always used Gliptone for leather conditioning, I've used it for years, on everything from Rolls Royce, BMW and Porsche seats, and never had a problem. We are Gliptone,Liquid Leather, Leather Repair Kits, Leather Restoration, Leather Dyes for the UK sellers.

It seems that upon inspection all the rubberson the suspension have perished, further more both ball joints are shot. Seems beinmg laid up for too long had caused problems. In any event, having these replaced and should be as good as new tommorrow.....

Oh for the summer.

Many thanks.

Oh yes, the rear window is slightly milky, any suggestions. Can the rear window be replaced invidually, or is a new roof. The rest of the roof is mint.
