Finally got rid of the financial drain, or more commonly known as my A3. After nothing but problems, im glad to see the back of it and we have a nice new car that will do the job. Bought a brand new VW Polo, 1.4SE in grey Anthracite. Very impressed by it and fingers crossed we shall now have a couple of years of trouble free motoring. Pics will be up tomorrow afternoon.
Once again though Jr and friends from the VW garage in Bromley came up trumps with a great deal on our new car so its a big to them for sorting us out

yeah mate, when finances allow ill get a car as a weekend toy, this is just going to be a plain old boring runabout for a while, as the audi was costing thousands in repair bills and was very expensive on fuel as we do a fair few miles. Planning a wedding and family now so needed a better car which is more cost efficient to run
