Ha! You're the BIGGEST slag on the forum, you've been in more cars than a Stoke-On-Trent street walkin' prossy!

Latest news: Camberley Audi won't replace the failed DRC pipe as the pipework not covered by warranty. To replace just the failed DRC pipe would be £400+. To include the pipe and its ALU sleave (recommended) would cost £900+. I've booked my Billstein PSS9 fitting in at MRC on the 30th (only slot available), however, I have to pick up the car from Audi today (or request they perform the repairs at my cost). Needless to say I'd like to have this sorted asap, especially since there's a shiny set of PSS9s sitting on my desk beside me!

Question: Does anyone know a trusted garage that HAS fitted PSS9s to a C5 before, either local to Camberley or ideally in and around London?
Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated, in the meantime, I'll be hiring a Citroën Saxo as my replacement car, the emergency Skoda Audi have put me in is draining the life and soul out of me, quickly.

I'm going to buy it take it to a track and thrash the ... out of it, then cut the top off and use it as a skip.

Good idea?

I better bump this 'request for help' before this thread is hi-jacked by Saxo comments, again.

Bam Bam - have a quiet word with Stuart at Camberley - he's the Master tech, but does some work independently. He's Shunt or similar on here if you want to PM him - or PM me and I'll find his number.

Not PSS9s, but AMD fitted my KWV3s and top-mounts and ARBs (and milltek) with no problems. Near lakeside.
