Just come back from Audi. All serviced and MOT'ed. They said I don't need tyres as the expect min 7-10k miles on the tread, of course depending on driving. They are ( I think P Zero's ). Pretty sure this is the same as 2 years ago. 4.5mm Rear Left 4.5mm Rear Right 2.5mm Front left 3.0mm Front Right ...

You're right, car prices are mad at the moment and totally variable. I'm must not using my RS4 at the moment, so it does seem a shame to keep, I can use the funds else where - oh, and I owe the wife some money as well !! Garage has finished with mine, so it's MOT'ed up. Oddly no takes on mine - whic...

You've got I think one B8 and one B8.5 in blue. They are both more than your budget is looking for. I'd suggest chatting to the owners and see if there is any movement. Alas, the more authentic a car. the more you will pay. Mine is totally stock and has not been touched or altered and extremely low ...

I will keep that in mind for my other cars as a bit of a saving always helps. But I'm trying to ensure anything done to the car ( including tyres ) is done via an Audi Dealership. The sales guys have now contacted me about buying the car, but I would rather it went privately rather than to a dealers...

Going into Poole Audi on Thursday. I will be putting 4 new Michelin Sport 4's on, so £1k's worth of tyres. Full service, so years MOT. And a very clean car.

UPDATE. I'VE AGREED A PRIVATE SALE. JUST WAITING TO FINALISE DETAILS. Priced at Ј33,500 ovno. Still has blue wrapping over rear bumper cill, this car is in amazing condition. Grab a deal before it goes to a garage. I am the second owner of this car ! The first owner has been an RS guy for a lot of y...

Well.... I've got it all sorted. I tried a Noco Genius G3500. It indicated the battery was too low to determine what to do with it. So, I plugged a Sealey ROADStart into the battery in the boot. Left if 3 mins and then was able to start it up without an issue. Took it for a 30 min drive to get some ...

Ok, I'm going to go with the intelligent charger and if needed I've got the kick up the arse starting option. I'd rather go low and slow. It's only because it's been in the garage for thinking about it, 6 months. I'll get the battery up and running, give her a decent run and then put her back into l...

I've not used my B8.5 for quite a few months, perhaps 6... I thought I'd go to the garage and turn the engine over, yes, perhaps a little late. Able to unlock and get in. Alas, it refuses to start - nothing. As such, I think the battery has discharged. I do have a big 'ol powerful Sealey Road Start ...

I'd appreciate a pointer for an independent who can MOT / Service ( not needed this time ) on my B8.5 on 23k in / near ringwood / bournemouth. Happy to drive a little for the right company. I've just called Audi Poole ( who I've used before ) and no one answered the phone and I'm waiting for a call ...

In the end I went with Adrian Flux again. After a bit of back and forth and price matching I paid £620. It so about £310 each. The landrover only has 2 years NCD on it. The initially Adrian Flux was £750 which I think is normal insurance practice.

I've pm'ed you about my B8.5. I'm second owner. 21k miles. I've done 1,300 in the last year on it. Sports ex. Pana Roof, lots of extras. Sits in a purpose build garage at my house in the New Forest. Paul. I'm re-insuring on the 11th. If I insure I'll just keep her another year as I don't need to sel...

I've just been on the phone to LV and they said the won't insure my B8.5. So, I will go back to AdrianFlux at £650 for the very low milage B8.5 and my Land Rover Defender. I did have a claim in 2018. I reversed over someone in a petrol station in the land rover. They had parked right up my arse and ...

Oh god no. I've just seen Amazon do it for £32.95 on Prime.... Oh well, got beer and was cheaper than Audi supplying it. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Castrol-15668E-EDGE-5W-30-Engine/dp/B011KRAGH8/ref=asc_df_B011KRAGH8/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=310739960565&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=1517776...

Was told by Audi to use Castrol Edge 5W-30 LL 4L. Need 9.6l. Using my local Poole garage said I could supply. Asda currently have an offer of £34/4L. I thought quite a good saving. Please don't shoot me if you say I should be using another better oil, just using what I was told by Audi. https://groc...
