Audi dealer MOT Offer
Audi Leeds just called me - Said that my MOT was coming up for renewal (think they may be wrong about that) and they offered to do it for £39.00 which includes £700 protection on any work needed for your next MOT, on the face of it it sounds like a good deal.
any one else had this offer? at dealer prices would £700 cover much

MOT at Audi
To be honest I wouldnt even dream of going to Audi for an MOT even if it was free....my cousin recently took his 05 A4 to a local audi dealer for the coil pack recall...they offered to do a visual inspection while it was there....came back with a £3000 estimate!!!!!...including something like £1000 for work on brakes
So unless like playing russian roulette I would find a friendly MOT place with people you can trust....

I want my friendly MOT place to do an MOT though, friendly means overlooking the cats or emissions. Look at these tyres I found on my car a few days after it passed its MOT. One of the advisories was 'brake pads wearing thin' so I decided to change the brakes myself, when I took the tyres off. I nearly crapped myself (bare in mind I am off to Germany in a few weeks in this near 200MPH/2 Ton thing) so I was furious to see this. Needless to say, I replaced the tyres straight away. I don't know any friendly MOT testers, but god knows what you'd call this one.

How often do you check your tyres Amar?? geez I agree with you that it should never have passed even the most friendly of MOT's but you have to take some responsibility for checking your tyres at least every week if not more often especially with a "high performance tyre shredding car"!!
 Oh and congratulations on your 3,000th post!!!

bit of a C5 trait to wear the tyres on the shoulders before the middle - I rotated mine last year and got a nice little advisory on my MOT recently to say both inner and outer edges all round are worn! Still got 3-4mm of tread over most of the tyre.
Doesn't help that the car does mainly town work so I'm currently debating with myself on whether to stick some Vred's on it rather than replacing like-for-like with Michelins again. Current set have done 16k miles and counting! Amar - if you use your car's full potential on any tracks while you're away you can pretty much expect to be needing to replace those F1s when you get back lol
