It's a crock of shite.  Trying to think of something positive to say, and struggling.  I guess millennials will like it, as 2/3rds of the glovebox manual goes into depth about how to get facetwit on the screen.  But didn't mention how to turn on the mirror demisters - I had to Google that one.  And the volume control.  What pillock thought that was a good idea, hidden the wrong side of the gearstick on the gearbox tunnel.  And so ultra responsive it only allows mute and full volume.

And talk about as flat as a witches tit...

A3s are kinda like a Golf, but for those who aren't quite charismatic enough to carry off Golf ownership. ;D

......
The symptoms of the illness that tried to kill me in 2022 have returned. Fever, zero appetite and an annoying cough needed checking out so I’ve been through all of the tests again. Zero appetite has sent my INR blood reading through the roof so at the moment it’s a balancing act for the hospital to control my INR reading whilst maintaining a level of antibiotics to control the infection.
I feared it was the end of me but I’m clawing my way back slowly. My broken foot has paled in to insignificance and to be honest it doesn’t even hurt now.
I’m beginning to think that somebody up there likes to kick me to within an inch of my life, allow me to partially recover and then kick me again. I did go through a moment when I thought I’d had enough, I’m tired of fighting so just end it, but I’m hopefully pulling back a bit now.  :y

Only just seen this Allan .... Hope they get you mended soon  :y :y :y

Makes it sound much more impressive than the bland FWD shitbox it is, though. ;)

It means the car has sensed who you are, and is opting out of driving for you. Just as you would expect from a Golf with an unjustified superiority complex.

I had quickly worked it out, it means the drivers door isn't properly closed.

WTF it couldn't just say the driver's door is ajar/open or needs checking, whatever...   ...but then as Nick W says, it's ze germans....
