A quick update and more expenditure (!)
March - buy car £3k
April - £3k major service inc all fluids, cambelt/pulleys/t-stat/pump, pesky oil cooler pipe, alternator, front O2 sensors via dropped down pipe method
April - £500 new Goodyear assymetric 2 tyres
April - £250 refurb wheels
April - £270 vcds
April - £70 MaF
May - new genuine Audi discs/pads, tie rod ends and inner arms, and new OSF driveshaft - £3k
June/July - MOT failure (lower front control arms on both sides due to worn bushes), front wheel bearings, engine oil change to Mobil 1 0w/40, brake fluid change - £1.6k. (dentist was £200!)
Sincerely hope that's it for now ..... having said that, garage overfilled oil by 10mm on the dipstick so have just bought a siphon from ebay to bring the level down somewhat.
