He was probably right! Beautiful looking car though. 3500 V8 in Vitesse spec please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omariqy Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Got my service and MOT coming up. Got a warning light that my brake pads need changing. Do I just let Audi do it or get it done beforehand to save on cost? Not sure on how much I would save Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure on how much I would save You might save about £100, but if you can afford it, not worth hassle of taking somewhere else, an it'll be genuine parts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if we’ll see a bit of a price war in EV’s now the chip shortages seem to have eased. link New Nissan Leaf Hatchback 110kW Tekna 39kWh 5dr Auto Had a Leaf for almost five years. Very good car for shorter distances, which I need a car for, I rarely drive further than 50 miles away. Very cost-efficient. Switched to Volvo C40 at year end. It's very different, but I love it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
