Isn’t the process of making Hydrogen extremely energy consuming though? I’m not an expert by any means but there was a news report on Japan moving towards major use of Hydrogen in the years to come, importing it all from Australia who produced it from burning coal :whistle2: The way forward is...

You get issues with every cover according to the detailers I’ve watched on YouTube and spoken to in person over the years, they all hate them with a passion. Unless you’re washing the car every time the cover goes on you’ll always get some marring / scratching to the paintwork unfortunately...

I’ve been keeping tabs of the value of my old S5 since I sold it a few months ago, so far I’m pleasantly surprised - according to a few valuing websites it seems the price has dropped around £1800-£2000 compared to what I managed to get for it. Sadly I’m still not any closer to replacing it...

Congrats on the car looks like a great spec. Did you get it from Lincoln Audi by any chance or the JCT600 group I recognise the body shop in the background :tearsofjoy:

Just FYI, unless you car is under 3 years old and still under the standard new car manufacturers warranty I wouldn’t bother with a sunroof service personally, as Audi’s extended or used approved warranty covers literally nothing to do with sunroofs. Had an issue with my S5 sunroof and Audi...

Glad you had a trouble free sale it’s definitely a sellers market right now, I can’t believe how mad the prices have got. A friend of mine in the trade reckons we are reaching / have reached the peak of used prices as production is apparently set to pick up towards the end of the year / early...

Yeah thought it was odd, could’ve tried it I suppose but with such a big difference between what I’d been offered by the other dealer and their expected sale price I didn’t waste my time - plus the garage I sold it to was keen to get it this weekend and with the new reg coming out I didn’t want...

Motorway didn’t work for me, valued my car before I took my private reg off, a week later I did it again and the valuation had lowered by over 3k based on my 17 plate reg :whistle2: I know others have had good success recently though!

Yeah just frustrating more than anything especially as Sunroofs are exempt from all Audi warranties after 3 years! Can’t complain at getting over £2k more back in just under a year though, minus fuel and insurance obviously. Especially as the servicing, tyres and brakes would’ve cost me over a...

So just shy of a year and 7k miles the S5 is gone! It’s been a great car maybe the best I’ve owned with all the tech but my ownership experience was ruined by the issues with the sunroof, pretty much constant rattling and knocking - Audi eventually seemed to fix this in the past month by...

I’d agree seems like a very strong price compared to prices of used cars available on the market

Thanks for the heads up, will definitely look to get an extended test drive in one. Regardless I think the S5 will go as I want to free up some money for a house move anyway. I do about 8k miles a year, main appeal is journeys around town saving me fuel by using the electric motor and my...

Still debating selling my S5 I got a few values back a few weeks ago but never proceeded. Considering going with a Merc A Class or CLA 250E as my next car, I’d save a fortune in fuel but don’t know whether I’d miss the power of a S car. Alternatively I could car share for the next 6 months or...

Ah fair enough mate they look good fitted! Yeah I’m likely selling I’ve had a few really competitive offers which are hard to pass up on and after being told I’ll be working from home full time it’s difficult to justify keeping it when I’ve got use of another car too. May end up buying another...

Bit late to the party but I think they go great with Daytona, I’ve got them fitted to my car. If you aren’t in a rush to buy a set mine may well be going up for sale soon in the classifieds if I push ahead with selling the car in the next few weeks.
