Why are you always so negative.. & always worrying about deep pockets.. Also I'm sure mrc are great but there not the only folk in the world to work on Audis (RS's etc) I will be using them as it sounds like their very good on what they do & know... but for the stuff I would normally get done or do myself I will continue to have a go..

Will hang in there for new & use the wise words of the forum members to direct me when & where required
