Bugsy Update
Forgot to mention that I had the alternator regulator replaced on the A2, along with the battery and a wheel bearing. Just the driver’s door window and remote key fobs to do now..

I finally got the wheel bearing sorted on the Audi. Yay. Silence.. Bugsy is now my ONLY car, as I have SOLD the Clio! I’d run out of time on the “temporary car” insurance, so it needed to go. I tried Gumtree and got a couple of replies, but no sale. So I bit the… Read More Fleet Update !
Ok. So I gave up trying to get the blower fan sorted myself and consulted a local mechanic. This is the guy who fixed the Clio starting issues.

Much better than the light blue one it originally had. A FULL BEIGE LEATHER INTERIOR was also included. I have plans for that.. It… Read More Audi A2 – Here we go!
I’ve been after one of these for ages. Even test driven a couple. First one was a tdi75 with dodgy 3rd gear, second was an FSI with dodgy everything, including seller.
