    Recommendation for decent specialist for servicing + DRS in herts/north london?

    I'm a proud owner of a 15 plate Suzuka Grey B8 RS4 since last year, currently dealing with some slightly worrying knocking from the front nearside suspension... Due for a service soon in any case! Wondering if anyone can recommend a decent independent specialist for servicing? I used Whetstone...

    Thanks guys. In the end I did a bit of research, and after a false start with a local firm in London who said they didn't want the job as they insurers would try to barter down their "premium labour costs", I was recommended Pentagon paint & body in Hertfordshire. They do subbed-out work for...

    Advice for insurance repair to my beloved RS3

    Yes, agreed, doubt it will be written off... Update - my insurer organised a "recommended repairer" on Friday, who contacted me and said they could only collect on Tuesday, which I went along with. In the meantime, they organised me a hire car through Enterprise (who were amazing), and they...

    Advice for insurance repair to my beloved RS3

    No engine damage from what I can see. Think it was a fairly glancing blow. Do you really think they'd write that off? I guess the front suspension/drive mechanism could be damaged from the impact.

    Advice for insurance repair to my beloved RS3

    So, This happened to my RS3 - when parked in my street at 3am this morning: It was a drunk idiot - also took out 2 other cars. Police took him away, he has insurance, so I've called up my insurers and they've agreed it's a no fault claim and they'll get it all back from his. So, now it's...

    What discount did you secure for the order?

    I used Kevin at UK Car Broker. pre/post VAT makes no different to % discount :) , but I was including the OTR costs. I guess it would be closer to 7% if I removed that.

    What discount did you secure for the order?

    I'm in the UK, but as I say, was through a broker. Which does have some drawbacks: I couldn't choose the dealer, for one.

    What discount did you secure for the order?

    I got 6.8% off in April, through a broker. About £3200 off the total. No trade-in, so a real money discount for me.

    SIM card for Audi Connect

    Finally the wait is over... Picking up my Nardo RS3 on Thursday from the dealer, followed by a 300 mile drive home! :) :) Can anyone tell me what type of SIM card is needed for the Audi Connect on the tech pack? What size, specifically? And can anyone recommend a good data-only SIM to buy? Cheers!
