Yup. All done. Dean took Big Red away at 18:30 this evening. It was a fairly tough weekend as we were expecting to be done last night, but got to 20:00 and still had a big list of things to do, so Dean stopped in a nice hotel near the workshop and we carried on again this morning.
I lost my phone so didn't get any pictures, but I think Dean got a few so one of us will post them up later. 200 hours in the end

Try paying that at Audi dealer rates.

I have just read the whole thread. Wow!
It is really comforting to know that such care, attention and expertise are available. I wouldn't mind a trip to Devon - I just drove 400 miles return to pick up a lawnmower, and I bought my D2 from Cardiff - another 400 mile round trip, which I did twice because I wasn't sure. I look forward to seeing it wafting around East Northamptonshire. We almost have enough for a club in the region.

Next one is 9am (latest!) Sunday 12th November and there will be a Nogaro Blue A8 there (plus my green S8). The red one as well would be stunning.
