Have you had any problems with the car?

oh yessss. And how.. First - fuel pump (front) had to be replaced plus as a result (not because they were faulty but because thats how it is) fuel pump back PLUS exhaust - cost over £2 000 at local Audi - but must say, workshop guy could not have been a better ambassador for the brand despite the bill - totally different to arrogant and indifferent front of house salespeople and staff. He was a real brand warrior. and then the next thing went wrong....and guess what - I think that Audi calculators and tills exhibit this really weird phenomena - no matter what data is entered, the bill, sir (a very small s - just for form you know!) comes to, with VAT and I took some off because you know, we appreciate.. just over 2K - plus a few bits. And then ---- when you decide what to do
