Hi. I joined the club when we bought the car in spring 2018. Technically the car is the wife's but as I recommended it and we both drive it, I do all the related technical stuff. Not that I'm a mechanic although I've owned enough cars over the years to be able to do some elementary diagnosis and work. The club has already provided me with useful advice on a number of topics (tyres, door card, starter motor, warning lights), for which thanks to those members.
On the whole I'm very pleased with the car. It's a fairly basic 2002 1.4 SE model with a/c, 4 seats, no opensky, with just under 70k miles. Perfect our needs although I also have a Volvo XC90 for holidays, bigger loads and general practicality too. But I prefer to drive the A2 frankly, especially around town.
We're in Berkshire (Reading). Would anyone be able to recommend a specialist or at least knowledgeable garage or mechanic down this way? Alternatively or additionally, anyone local with a diagnostic system? (I'm still in the process of getting to the bottom of the EMS light).
Anyway, cheers!
