Cheers Ian, he's an interesting guy to say the least. He's sorted another couple of S8 manifolds since mine as the garage I had mine in at to get fixed got a couple more with flap failures in in quick succession. He's got a small unit in a tucked away spot but seems very busy. A guy I've known for years who sells some high end second hand cars uses him for all of his servicing and repair work, which is good enough for me. He enlightened me on the perils of TDi swirl flap failures so I'm going to get the A4 looked at soon as it's at 55k miles now. I intend to let him do all of my servicing from now on, he's sorted my repairs the two times I've asked him, he's got the up to date diagnostic kit and his labour rates are reasonable, so it's a no brainer really.

On another note, I'm going to stop having the car detailed, the two times I've had it done it's "broke" within weeks, it's obviously not good for it
