I am now of the same ilk, however I won't go in to details just yet for (hopefully) obvious reasons. I also spoke at length to a chap at Follett yesterday, who was very helpful and I shall be taking my car there in future. At least she's running well! Lucie was very pleasant to talk to as well, Wikkus And they're local, so what more can I ask?

Well, she did the 300 miles fine, no complaints. I've booked in with Aylesbury for tomorrow. I've since heard of a well regarded independent, Follett Motors, in St. Albans, which I think I'll be trying for anything major in future. Will let you know what I think of Aylesbury.

Had the service light come on just now, so that answers that one . I have to do ~300 miles this weekend, is it safe to do so before servicing? It's just the OIL service that's come up. I've also had a quote from Aylesbury Audi of £165 for the service, which seemed bloody good for a main dealer. Hitchin are phoning me back later. Considering the last service receipt was £130 from a back-alley bloke, I'm tempted to take it at £165 and have it looked at by Audi chaps, as I've not had it looked at since buying it in Sept. Opinions?

Hello, My 98 1.8T A3 is due a service in Jan (no indicator yet, do I get one?) judging by the last service receipt/stamp. The belts were done at 95k I think, the service book's at home, it's now on 121k, but I'm tempted to get them done too for piece of mind. Sensible or a waste of money? Main point of the thread was a recommendation for someone in Hertfordshire to do the work. I had a bad experience with my local VAG specialist in St. Albans so won't be going back to them. Any advice would be gratefully received .

I had this happen on my A3 recently. Bulbs were fine when the car was parked on the flat, but off-side brake light didn't work on an incline. Swapped the bulb out and it's been fine.

I recently had two fairly large chips (one was more like a dent really ) on my A3 repaired by Autoglass through my insurance. It didn't cost anything and they made a very good job of it.
