Not great photos I know, taken on the iPhone, sorry.

Looks nice. Got any pics of the house? It looks lovely.

I thought this was a car forum?

nice car, did you by any chance have the black rs4 cab that was on the forecourt of amersham audi

No - Black B7 Saloon. Don't do cabrio's having once rolled a car, I need tin above my head.

How many miles now jonp.

1800?

1600 in 13 days...slow going for me

How's the RS?

Jon

Going well,i've only done about 450 miles,she's been checked over and accepted for a warranty extension with audi, i have
a month to decide wether to take it up. Others that have driven this RS can't believe how quick and how well it drives and that it can have
covered so many miles.
Next week she's in to have the front wings,bonnet,bumper etc,prepared and sprayed(to lose 81000 miles of stone chips)and a new set of front
pads.she'll look every bit as good
as she goes then.

You are right about how well she drives, now that the engine has really loosened up. The R8 is nowhere near as free, it will be interesting to see how it compares - it takes about 20,000 miles.

What sort of price do you have to pay for the warranty? It is probably worth taking up - parts on Audis are not cheap!

Jon

Nice pix's .. I might see you at the Wicked Lady ...

Will do my best to get there - its in the diary

Jon

audi want £1350.p.a.

Warranty direct £750.p.a

A lot of money,i must check the small print, strangely the warranty direct says it covers wear and tear.
as the cars in good order i may well just take my chances.

allen

At that price, I think I agree - a bit heavy in my view

There is a reason its more expensive, trust me ! after 2 x failed turbos full zorst system and 2 x failed cats. Ive had both warrantys, the Audi one when all the above happened and the 3rd parrty one when my gearbox went.

I would never ever by a 3rd party warranty again. Waste of money.

All of this happened on my B5 RS4

is the Audi just a warranty, ie not including maintenance? I was wondering whether I could extend my FCM plan over the 3 year period
