    I do have breakdown recovery cover with green flag like you, but if the car still drives I'd rather get back home with two dogs in the back. Maybe after this it will behave well and I end up keeping it, like I said before it looks good it's well made and if I could keep it another 5 years it...

    Try living on Anglesey and you don't travel far for stunning locations, I couldn't get out of England quick enough when I retired. The trips back to Cheshire are shared with my wife's Range Rover hence the low mileage.

    Audi Service Price Match - have they told the dealers?

    I use a local independent garage that purchase a genuine Audi service kit from the dealers and then carry out the service way cheaper than Audi. 2 year oil change service - £140 all in. Service warning reset and electronic service record filled in.

    The world vs Audi drivers...

    I remember years ago whilst road testing a loaded artic (32 tons shows how long ago) and a d-ck in a 8L S3 was so focused on overtaking me in a 40 mph zone he didn't see the parked car on the other side of the road until he hit the brakes and front ended it. Di-khead ! I didn't even bother to stop.
