Got back from offshore to find the wife had bent an alloy taking the car back from Audi for some minor fixes to the wiper motor drove it to work and found quite bad vibration 60-70 so took it to audi to get ti checked and yes sir the alloy is bent more than 4mm so how would you like to pay sir. currantly taking it up with audi UK so see how i get on they want to change the tyre aswell with an £80 mark up on the price that i can get one for

but will leave the tyre for now unless it's totaly knackered only changed them 500 mils ago

i even had to send the details of the good will warranty in as they were unaware of the policy sounds fishy as iv'e had 2 alloys replaced by them un this warranty

Thats

bad luck Brooner! Takes the shine off hittin the beach eh?
If it helps I've got spare Mich PS2s lying around with at least 5000 miles left in them or go speak to Keith @ Checkpoint on George Street, ABZ they are v competitive on tyres. Got 4 new Goodyear F1s fron him @ 600 all in fitted. Contis would have worked out 100 quid cheaper which is nice.

Nothing to do with bad luck H - more to do with women drivers!!!
Brooner, try Sillett tyres on Holland St. - they are always up for a bit of cash bartering and haven't let me down yet. Unlike my Mrs who tried to ram raid a plumbers van during my last hitch away - no injuries fortunately (phew), oh aye, the Mrs is OK as well - boom boom!!!!

Thanks for the offer Harry but ill keep the Goodyear and get i checked out i found that Donside tyres in Alford hard to beat on price think they were on par with your quote. The wifes not that a bad driver just unluky hit a pot hole driving the car home i dare say i would have hit the same one maybe a bit harder if i had been home at the time. Now John the pooly pay oilfield trash that i am i get 3 bob thrupence a day and all the smarties i can eat

wife and RS4 to support i can barly afford the mandatory case of dom perignon at the end of the month.
