Hi you can buy a decent Helli coil kit off of Ebay for about £30.00 doing the jobs easy enough. Steve.

Hi this is a perfect example of the lunacy that has taken over this country's establishments, they all want to jump on the bandwagon because everything is going up, isn't it, the main problem is electric cars especially the Audis as they started getting way past spiteful with the parts prices a couple of years ago, an insurance claims assessor I get in my cab regularly told me since we left Europe there has been an increasing difficulty in getting parts at a sane price, then when you get a good price they tell you its going to be anything up to six months to get that part, what used to take a week is now six months with a clause written in to say that they can put that price up to cover any extra shipping and taxes plus the part prices are double what anyone pays in Europe , this allied to the fact that no major repairer really wants to touch them makes it even more of a problem, even the salvage yards can't get rid of them, if you research wrecked Teslers in the U.S. they get basically sold for parts. Steve.

Blinking heck Tony! Do you think this daft hike is due to it being an electric vehicle? Can we take it you have trawled the comparison websites, and had quotes there? I’ve favoured the one with our ‘standy-up’ little beings over the last couple of years. I’ve used Darwin - a subsidiary company under the Churchill umbrella for the last two years. Might be worth a try. Two things with car insurance:- what is their estimate insured value of your car, and who are the actual insurers - if using a broker. I think (in caps) you may find one of the actual insurers could be Markerstudy. If so, it might be worth reading reviews before signing up to anything. Kind regards, Gareth.

Hello Syed, Sorry to hear of your issue. Audi too expensive? - understand. Considering secondhand part -pros and cons? Aftermarket - have you thoroughly investigated this route? Not sure of availability of this part, but if you enter you registration number into the on-line motor factor sites - I use Parts in Motion at Exeter - then you should be able to check whether it is available. Always worth giving them a ring if you don’t see it on line. Aftermarket quality? I’ve favoured Febi (or their sister brand, Blue Print) in the past, and been pleased with them, so that’s my brand of choice. Perhaps you could let us know how you get on. Kind regards, Gareth.

So what did the computer genius do? 🤔
