    That's what I thought when I bought it. What could possibly go wrong right, its a simple car? :cry: turns out everything that can go wrong will, but only sometimes. When It works its incredible. Its normally not too hard to fix or get parts for, but at the same time it does still cost a lot...

    Audi Service - some advice please

    Is one wheel or brake warm after you've driven it? Could be handbrake or caliper sticking slightly to cause the the increased fuel consumption, alto you would expect that on an old car.

    Massive Car insurance costs?

    Mine was £1150 last year and renewal came back as £1320 :eek:. Negotiated it down to £1187 in the end by pitting 2 companies against each other. My new insurance seems to have amazing customer service as well, so I'm pleased with that.
