I've been saying it for years and you know what's coming, They're crooks. You buy a car from a crook you know you're going to have trouble.

I'd find it hard to just roll over Ian, and it's such a shame it finally caught up with you as you've had a good run with Audi really.

But when all said and done regardless of who bought it first last from who, the fact remains that Audi are falsifying documents to make a heap look great and that just can't be legal. Sounds like modern day ringing to me.

Don't pay a penny, and tell them straight they'll get nothing from you let them take you to court and let them try and justify the fact they've tried to con you but it didn't work, but they still want to bill you for it.

If it all goes **** up and you have to pay the bill, give some local smack heads a couple hundred quid to follow him home one evening and rough him up a bit.

If you haven't paid then this is possibly a good option, they would have to raise a small claims case/money claim online at worst and even if you do loose will only cost you the court costs which are usually fairly minimal?

Its really quite nuts that this is still going on..... Your saving grace is the ridiculous mileage you're stacking on their loaner whilst they mess around with 'yours'

Do let us know how you got on.....

Four months and five days later I got my car back, it is almost perfect - by that I mean as it should have been when I bought it! At a guess I put about 7-8k miles on their cars

Minor niggle with the phone which will only connect at 2G, they have referred this to the factory for support which may take a while. They are going to extend the warranty to cover the time they had the car also.

It maybe a few years older than the 15 plate loan cars I have had, but it felt good getting back into my own car with all the options I wanted, and the V8 is so much better than the V6 TDI
