  1. Welcome John, Wander into you local main dealer armed with your V5. Regards, Gareth.
  2. Welcome David, Sorry to hear of your mishap. Worth searching EBay, and registering your ‘want’ on on-line car breaker websites. Having said that, I would be doubtful is you could buy specific bits of a wing mirror, but worth a try. Regards, Gareth.

    Excuse me Mark, but I’m getting vibes of frustration from your replies. We do indeed try hard on here to answer member’s questions in a polite and constructive fashion, in relation to thread titles. Precise thread titles are important since they form the backbone of searches which come up when members search for answers to their question. Yours is a case in point, where a prior system search would have come up with the same constructive replies which had been given on similar queries. I take it you didn’t do that on this occasion. Anyway, you now have an answer to your question. Regards, Gareth.

    Thanks Mark, Thanks Mark. Thread title :- Best brake prices May 2026.
  5. What exactly did you have replaced? Could you please do us a kindness and amend your profile to include your proper name. Regards, Gareth.

    I never buy on price alone, particularly with brake parts, so I’m not really qualified to guide you on best prices alone. I’m currently ‘experimenting’ with Brembo (to good avail so far) but I’m not claiming they are top of the shop. I buy the bulk of my parts from Parts in Motion - as I’ve said so many times. They have always provided me with a first class service at competitive prices. Please let us know how you get on Mark. Regards, Gareth.
  7. Worth trying Ali express James. I’ve had mud flaps off them for the non-Audi at a fraction of the main dealer cost, and I don’t have any criticism of the quality. Not sure what they for yours, but worth a search. Regards, Gareth.
  8. Welcome Christian. Sounds a good pair. Regards, Gareth.
  9. Panscrank has now been indefinitely banned from the site due to abusive behaviour.
  10. What exactly is your motive for responding to a 5 year old thread Michael? Would you now like to consider withdrawing your derogatory comments? Regards, Gareth.
  11. Welcome Tony, and sorry to hear of your stressful issue. So what was the AA’s diagnosis? Alternator or battery, or indeed both? When was the battery last renewed Tony, since these can suffer from catastrophic failure on these battery-condition - sensitive modern vehicles? Are the AA still relay-hopping you to your destination, rather than one direct recovery home? Not sure what warranty would be applicable with this 8 year old vehicle. Regards, Gareth.
  12. Welcome Tom, Simply wander into your nearest main dealer armed with V5 and a bank card. They will extract funds ( unreasonable ) from you, and you should be able to pick it up the following day. Regards, Gareth.
  13. Pleasure James, I like your approach to keeping this car maintained as it should be, and not as VAG suggests ( explanations already given). Having said that, with delivery mileage only, personally I wouldn’t be getting the oil change done at handover, but waiting until September when it has a few miles under its belt. Regards, Gareth.
  14. +1 for advice already given. Regards, Gareth.
  15. Thanks Sean, Could you please list your price for the downpipe, since in the best interest of buyers and sellers, we don’t do ‘offers’ on here. Regards, Gareth.
  16. Fine Ali, just message me the price you wish to add, and I’ll add it for you. Regards, Gareth.
  17. Thanks for joining and posting your advert Ali. In the best interests of sellers and buyers, we don’t do offers on here, so could you please state a price which will be acceptable to you. Regards, Gareth.

    Hello Mike, You posted you plea for assistance on Tuesday last, but don’t seem to have returned to the forum to consider the advice given, and to answer questioned asked. Could you please read New Members Please Read, and update us on the issue. Regards, Gareth,
  19. Welcome Allan, Regards, Gareth.
  20. What brand did you order Alan?
  21. So far, you have posted and not bothered to return since. Please read the New Members highlight above. Thanks, Gareth.
  22. No you are not Chris. Just avoid responding to old threads during your initial responses.
  23. Hello Adam, Without further ado, my money is on the slave cylinder being the culprit here - highly likely why the previous owner passed it on. If replacing clutch components I would use LUK parts. Cheaper parts would not be my route on this labour intensive job. Regards, Gareth.
