I had the same service done at Jack Barclay Audi and was very impressed. Would highly recommend the fixed price servicing scheme

It's only an oil and filter change, screen wash top up and a squirt of white grease on the door and bonnet catches.

Just had the two rear tyres replaced, fronts still on 4.5mm when measured by Micheldever tyres.

I've gone for Dunlop Sportmax, partly because of the low noise rating. Will replace the front ones in the coming months so all four will then be the same.

I've only done 400 miles in the D3 since it was serviced nearly 2 months ago, I think thats a record low for me.

Here are some fresh pictures.

Just been cleaned after being left for 3 weeks whilst I was in France with the Volvo.

Took her out for a drive, having covered less than 800 miles since the beginning of April she is feeling left out.

Next weekend I'll be doing 400 miles in one weekend.

The old girl now has a fresh MOT, I had advisories for both front tyres being worn on the inside so she got two new ones on the front and a 4 wheel alignment.

Also completed a retrofit replacement of the TV tuner from analogue to DVB-T.

Large picture alert...

Not too bad, just lots of nuts and bolts and cable ties to deal with. It was a voyage of discovery, you dont really need to disconnect anything except the TV tuner (obviously) and the big purple connection from the Bose amp. I also disconnected the battery as a precaution, lucky because one of the satnav retaining bolts dropped into the radio module and I could get it out without doing any damage.
