Fair point! Mind you I bet it's more fun on two wheels anyway!
We're planning to attend some shows this year and have a club display, you'd be more than welcome to come along ☺️
We did the same with my wife's jag which we bought through covid from a main dealer in the next county. Couldn't due a test drive due to covid rules other than a short stint in the carpark. However my wife bought it and loves it. Always wanted a jag.
But if it wasn't a main dealer and just an independent garage then we wouldn't have done it. Most of the warranties independent garages offer aren't worth the paper they're written on.
What the hell! Good job I didn't take my Audi there then. How can you be a specialist if you don't do engines?!
The garage I use is AC motor services in Syston. They're pretty good and have kept my a6 on the road since it was 3 years old.
Did you get to the bottom of this? My advice would be to get a diagnostic check to see if there are any fault codes. When exactly does it happen? Start up/engine off etc if in motion what speeds etc.
