Hi All,
After ~3 months searching, 10 viewings and 4 'gone before I got there's, finally agreed a sale of a mint, unmolested 2001/Y 8L with 71k on the clock. Should be picking up Thur/Fri this week!!
I've been trawling the Forums the since the hunt began, and got a lot a valuable info so far. Great stuff from everyone!!
But still need a couple of bits of advice needed from you guys if poss :
Any recommended any specialists or just good mechanics near to Oxford/Bicester to do a Cambelt/Waterpump change, or should I hit Oxford Audi for a quote? Pity AMD went the way of the dodo last year as they were only a 3 iron from my gaff...
Also, it's currently fitted with a Concert R/C + Changer set-up, but no Bose. I would prefer to get a CD (preferably with MP3 CD capability) up front. As there is plenty of used Concert/Symphony kit on Ebay.
Which models are a simple swap? Also, how easy is it to move the A/C down to accomodate a Double din Symphony or Concert 2 set-up. I'm guessing I might run into issues with CAN-bus compatibility, but how easy is it to find out whether mine is late enough to have CAN-bus capability?
Anyone got their old Audi CD HU sitting in their garage they want a few quid for? PM if you have, rather than clutter up the forum...
Also DirectLine have finally given me a decent quote at £340 comp. Fair enough, I'm 36 with 10years NCD and no points, but that's only £80 more than my 1995 MX5!!
Cheers,
