If prison is supposed to be a deterrent WHY are all our prisons full to bursting ????? Because most of them were built a long time ago when prison population densities were a lot higher and the overall population of the country was lower. The prison service needs investment which Labour are unwilli...

RE: Re: I

Same thing happened to me, got 4 new tyres and 3 days later picked up a nail. Part of me wonders if it's a tyre dealer's trick to get some more business on the basis that once you've bought 4 you'll probably just come straight back to them....

RE: Advise required

I think it just pushes back on, only moderate pressure required.

Not a great design TBH but they look good...

RE: Re: RE: Where is the best/cheapest place for OE brake pa

Also make sure you start trying to source them early. I left it until the light came on and then had to drive gingerly for 2 weeks while I tried to find a set. In the end VAGPart couldn't get them so I had to ring around all of the dealers in my area to get hold of a set. I echo the comments about t...

I'm impressed to see that a google search for "Bexley Audi" reveals "Service Issues - Beware Bexley Audi" as the 4th hit. In fact linking those words to the URL should increase it's page rank so here goes...

If I was to go for a set of Pirellis do I want the Rossos (£217 on Blackcircles) or the Asimmetricos (£231)? What's the difference?

RE: Windscreen replaced

As I say mine is Pilkington and is identical to OEM. I really don't think it's worth making a fuss over.

RE: Windscreen replaced

I had a new screen a month or so back. Apparently the OEM screens are Pilkington, that's what I got and it's fine.

Make sure you tell them if you have the rain sensor.

Thanks for all of the responses/pms. In the end I rang every dealer in Kent and managed to track down a set (£400 for 4 corners, ouch!). I did the fronts that evening (dead easy, took less than an hour) but I couldn't figure out how to do the rears so I'll come back to them. If anyone has any info o...

Brake Pad Crisis

So after two weeks my front brake pads are still on back-order. It's getting to be a real problem as soon I really won't be able to drive the car. My order is currently with VAG Parts who are doing their best. I tried some dealers but they just said they're on back-order too. EBC claim that they don...
