Fook me mate - as in +10k ???

Scrapper ?

On the RS6 as the hydrolics went BANG everybody swapped to independent coilovers

Thats bad news Paul.Go and have a chat with an Audi indi,it'll probably be half the price of a main dealer.:banghead:

Agree.

What have they said is wrong, dealers tend to blanket diagnose, ie replace everything on the system. 4 x shocks, pump, ecu in one swoop. This way they guarantee to fix the problem;), not very good for your pocket though

hahaha no Ian i'll keep it.

Not wanting to bog down the thread with non donny stuff so will keep it short and try to cover most things.

2x front shocks are leaking. £1100 each + £350 per side labour
Oil leak from one of the turbos. £1200 + £1600 labour
Have another leak between the engine and box and they "estimate" between £4-6K to fix that. Timing chain is on the back of the V8 between the engine and the box and its basically a case of lift the car off the whole drivetrain then split it apart. problem with that is that when they are in there id want them to replace anything that looked iffy and probably also the chains.

I have found a company in the states who do shocks for $690 each and the head guy in my local dealership will fit them for me outwith hrs so think thats the route im going to go.
Thinking i might fit new rears at the same time as they are all the same age and am looking to start towing the CSL to track this year with it.


Oil leaks i can live with, both combined give me a drip the size of a 5p overnight out the undertray. think a soak mat tie wrapped in there will sort that out ;)

Shimmy,
The RS6 was in my mind when this occured, looked into conversion kits but none available for the A8 barge.

None of the indi's locally will look at it, can of worms seems to be the usual out come of any conversation.

Still looking at a couple of grand with the shocks only though so as i say play is off until it's back on the road. (hopefully by mid Feb)

well done Conleth, terryb also coming. are we staying over Saturday night?

So who is up for a night out on the Saturday. Local hotel to Donny and pub!

Yes.:beer:

Yep..

I've been looking at Long Whatton and Melbourne for a decent hotel that has a proper bar.

Most were about £109-119 a twin or double room inc breakfast which seemed just about ok....



But just tried Harpurs of Melbourne hotel and bar and looks classed and cool bar and in the middle of Melbourne and singles and doubles are coming in £30-50 inc breakfast! .....per room .

www.harpursofmelbourne.co.uk

It itht be worth booking hem all at once so the prices don't go up so DONT BOOK GUYS until we have all names and then I can do tomorrow for all.

Hi Shim, forgot to up-date this. Can you stick me down for a room. Cheers.:beer:

any more!

Booked!

£50 a room so £25 a person on Saturday 25th February.
breakfast is excluded at that rate but doesn't start to 8am so we would have missed it anyway.

I have booked just 3 rooms (one double and two twins) as the only other room is a suite £120. Anybody else wants to join us you'll have to book the suite or choose one of the other establishments in Melbourne.
