  • It's taken me a week to read this thread after my own Superb purchase! I can only say how gutted I am you sold Audrey! It was like a soap opera I didn't want to end. What am I going to do tomorrow?!

  • That's one hell of an aerial on the back there!...

  • It's not an aerial; it's the pole that makes contact with the ceiling grid.

The whole cover comes off?

I dont want to break anything! Eeek!

Yep, ease it off all the way round with your fingers, then pull it straight down. It will be obvious how to put it back on after you've taken it off.

Sorry to hear about your car Wayne.

Cheers Jake!

Yeah - just going thru the insurance claim - hopefully get new doors in a couple if weeks ...

When you get it back Wayne, bring it up and I'll add some proper protection to the newly painted bits...no charge of course ;)

Audrey will be pleased!

Lot of debate on this.

Most agree not worth using just Nitrogen in tyres...

For £5 / 4 tyres ...i dont mind:

I'm assuming the rear nearside wheel will be replaced as part of your insurance claim?

Nitrogen filling is fine (get my tyres at Costco, who have been inflating with nitrogen for 3 or 4 years). However, when you start adjusting your pressures for loaded / unloaded etc., the nitrogen soon becomes diluted with air (which is 78% nitrogen, by volume, anyway)

I watched a survey on TV (Might have been Top Gear) and putting in Nitrogen made no difference at all

EDIT:

Yes thanks..It was Fifth Gear

Tiff on Fifth Gear did it - under some form of controlled conditions and yes found no improvement.

We're not driving F1 cars are we for christ sake - another "con" from the likes of ATS and Kwik Fit to spank money from those uninformed.

Ksr : yes, shud get a new alloy as recommended by Skoda.

I agree guys. Should make no diff to tyres or drivibility.

I am just lazy, my excuse not to check tyres for next 3months or so! :-)

Accident Update:

Audrey to be picked up and transported to DM Keith (Leeds) monday 29th.

Getting an Audi A4 auto on Monday!

Nope!

Used to check every month - but got to the point I got lazy besides modern tyres seems to hold air pretty good.

My other car had Nitrogen for 7months - though I only driven 3500 miles in her - her tyres still as they were 7months ago!

Hope you don't have to slum it in the 4 ring heap long and she's back as good as new very soon.

Did the delivery driver just park the Audi at an angle, or is it the line. Certainly doesn't look like a right angle on the line that's under the car.

Starting to like the Audi - gasp!

Am i turning into the dark side?

Same night cabin lights as Audrey (but red):

Like the u can see the indicators:

170bhp multitronic petrol does 48mpg and £125 tax - cheap!

But, interior solidly made and no squeaks - but not as warm and pleasing to the eye as Audrey.

Lack of toys - no leather, fold mirror, satnav etc

My back already hurting ...

Right i better stop digressing and praising the Audi now -

Else get shot by mods or hung by lynch mobs - lol

Hey Chan - don't you go flirting with that Audi now - or you might discover the Audrey that returns will have changed into Christine
