Audi Parts Direct Cardiff? Have you searched EBay for aftermarket ones, and Aliexpress? Regards, Gareth.

Just to clarify for any interested members, although you are selling the car, you aren’t the registered owner, and the ‘registered?’ owner has a number of cars which he wants to sell.

Private sale by the registered owner Nick?

This isn’t going to be that helpful a response to you Zac, but may prevent others falling into the same trap. Anyone going into the purchase of a vehicle which is known to have been mapped, is far more likely to be jumping into bed with trouble. Regards, Gareth.

Where have you searched so far Keith? Regards, Gareth.

Hello Fred, Discounts are fine, but the all important aspect is how competitive the premium is before any discount is taken off. As with many others, I have alway run my renewal quote through the comparison websites to actually see how competitive it is. Regards, Gareth.

Not of any interest to anyone?

Aftermarket brands you are considering Suheel?

Welcome Don, My first port of call would be to return the car to whoever carried out the front end bodywork. If both horns were working prior to this then it’s reasonable for you to expect them both to work now - unless one was damaged - at which point it should have been renewed. Believed each to be behind the spotlights (if fitted) or the plastic grilles if not. Regards, Gareth.

Thanks, In my book, it would be most important to get any hesitations and delays sorted, before resorting to any degree of mapping.

Welcome Adrian, Opinions will understandably vary, but there is a strong line of thought pointing to ‘ map these cars at your peril’. Before being concerned about making it go faster, attention should be paid to its past service history, mileage, and the intervals between services. Regards, Gareth.

Welcome Nick, If we can help we will. Regards, Gareth.

Di you find more Peter?

Have you got a copy of the advert George, and how long did the owner say he had owned it?

Welcome George, Did you buy this car from a dealer, or was it a private sale? Regards, Gareth.

A Google search should come up with more. Hope the forum is being of help to you Peter. Regards, Gareth.

Where have you looked so far then Peter? Have you also registered your ‘want’ on some of the online car breaker link sites?

Many thanks for joining Eric. You are very welcome. Regards, Gareth.

Search LLL Parts website Peter. Please let us know how you get on. Regards, Gareth.

Welcome Owen, and thanks for joining. I’m sure a couple of owners will be along soon to guide you with your queries. Regards, Gareth.

As said a year ago Colin. If they are original fitment then just look where I advised you to last year. If they weren’t an available and acceptable fitment - good luck with your insurance. Regards, Gareth.

As has been suggested - just replace it with a quality branded one, get it recoded, and just don’t bother to get it retested elsewhere, but worth getting the alternator output checked. Regards, Gareth.

Thanks Paul, Never heard of that brand - let’s hope it turns out good - and lasts. I don’t go for good deals (cheap) on quality-critical batteries, but aim to get respected brands at competitive prices. Regards, Gareth.

I would really like to think that perhaps reactions around rudeness might be as a result of cultural differences, rather than individual personalities. However, if I’m wrong, I will consider closing this thread. Regards, Gareth.

As a matter of interest Paul, what make battery are you buying?
