Just thought i'd share my latest stealer experience with you. I have a AA warranty on my car that covers virtually everything (especially at MOT time) so i thought where better to get my S3 pulled apart for an MOT than at Wakefield AUDI. I explained that the front passenger seat did not tilt forward (so thought it would fail on this) and also that if anything else needed doing to ring the AA up and get on with the job.
I got a phone call two hours later... "Its failed sir!....on your reg plates being incorrectly spaced" - So the seat is perfectly safe not working correctly but the plates are illegal.
Audi then said that a pair of plates were.... wait for it.... £70.90 plus 30 mins labour if i wanted them fitting (£45!!)
I thought carefully about my answer ! but it consisted of a chuckle and the word no! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif
At least **** Turpin wore a mask!
Also another thing i noted was that I re-set my peak boost on my blitz turbo timer to see how heavy the technicians foot was as he drove it the 1 mile to the test station. The car is chipped so i've peaked it at 1.54 bar, normal driving gives you about 1.2 bar, granny driving less than 1.0.
The peak boost was a record breaking 1.57 bar... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ok.gif Thanks Audi for testing this out for me!! Customer satisfaction!
