Think you're wise to stay clear of main dealers IMHO. I've never found Derby or Leicester Audi to have a clue what they're looking at.
Nottingham have always been helpful but Ben at AVP makes them look like amatuers to be honest.#
I used to like to keep my hand in but my Wife pointed out that every time I lifted the bonnet it used to cost £200.
i lifted it a lot
