    My Focus had a list like that planned for its MOT in January and the list was growing by the day. That was a major factor in getting rid. Granted they were only 16's....

    If you've not got too big and engine most of those are fixed price jobs and no more expensive than Vauxhall charge for the same (at least, was the case when I changed cars*). Tyres won't be cheap though.. but don't get them from Audi anyway

    *hmm, cam belt replacement etc. has gone up nearly £100 in three years.. not quite the bargain it was then.

    Just go with the herd.
    I was looking at one of those three years ago. But I found them to be somewhat Spartan, instead I went with the DS3 as its also c-charge exempt, but a hell of a lot more comfortable!

    was gonna say 450 tops garage bill, but if you're rolling on 20's, you're in a q7 at a guess. good luck with change from 1400?
