Car came back with most issues solved, still a clunk from the steering, so ive sent it to my Audi specialist and asked them to pull the car apart, if they find anything untoward then to fix it and send me a bill, which will then be sent to the dealer. Other than that its back as it should be. What i did find though was seperate spacers on the front, rather than one solid spacer. So im going to replace these first and then send it for a geo.
After the inspetection IVC in leeds told me it is an excellent specimen of an Rs4 and to not worry about the steering as it will be investigated.
As for the paint work, that will most likely commence in the next couple of weeks when work dies off for christmas. So some full strip down pics etc for you guys and gals to have a look at. I will keep you updated
