    I'm looking for a standard B6 A4 Avant 1.9 TDI 130 Quattro Sport with leather or leather/alcantara interior, 04 or 54 plate with less than 100k on the clock. Is that particular model quite rare or is it the wrong time of year to be looking for a Quattro? Or a bit of both! Whilst I'm here...

    Can anyone recommend an alloy wheel repair specialist that covers the Cumbria area? I've had 2 new tyres fitted and the tyre fitter's damaged the wheel. Highly unlikely they are going to pay out either but thats another story. Whats the likely hood of getting the same standard of finish of...

    Remap with warranty work

    Would you take your remap off when taking your car in for warranty work? Its lost coolant yet again and I'm occasionally getting an ESP fault flash up. It did both of these prior to the remap so I know its not related to that. What do you think?
