Just thought I'd say hi. I've come from owning Rovers most my life, my soft spot being the Rover 220 Coupe turbo. Had a couple of them and my most recent was at 240bhp with hybrid turbo. Spent too many nights in the yard with the spanners out so needed something more reliable.

Also have a Peugeot 307cc 180 which I've had 3 years and has never let me down somehow, this will now be the Missus daily which only averages about 30mpg on a good day.

The new car, and the reason ive joined here is a 2009 59 A4 avant SE 2.0TDI 143 which I collect this coming week. Went car shopping with an £8k budget and managed to find this car with 96k on it and major service with belts etc... done 10k ago, interim service and full MOT being done by dealer this week. Bargain at £7990.

Plans for the car are 18"/19" alloys, maybe lowered a bit in time and either a crd-t or map and will be pretty much left like that for a while.

Any other forums people could suggest would be appreciated.

Cheers. I've just looked up the vin and it's affected by the emissions thing so ill take it into AUDI at some point and get that sorted.

Missus wants the car to be kept completely standard but there's no chance that'll be happening so I'm pre planning the fall outs now. Being the SE it's basic so there's plenty of goodies to upgrade. Took it for a 2 hour test drive and didn't appreciate how refined it was until I drove away from the dealership in my Peugeot.

Will be doing a 500 round trip the day I get it, take the Missus away for the night. That'll give me chance to test the car and show up any issues with it so I can get it fixed under warranty, if there's anything up.

First 'car' photo taken at Caernarfon Castle during my initial 300 miles drive to test the car out. Lovely motor, soo smooth and averaging 44mpg after 450 miles which I can live with for now
