Apologies Tom, I didn't wish to cause you added stress, I realise you are extremely busy. Please accept my apology and I will await your response when you get a minute.Hi guys,
If I could clone myself, I would. Tom 1 could be tasked with replying to messages, and Tom 2 could do all the work on the A2s. Unfortunately, I am my own secretary. I cannot be replying to messages whilst I’m working on a car. I simply have to prioritise the job for the club member who is stood on my driveway, as arranged.
I try very hard to reply promptly to private message whilst also keeping up with all the happenings on the forum that are relevant to me. However, when life gets busy, there simply aren’t enough hours in the day if I’m also to have a life outside of A2 World.
I love what I do and am happy to assist anyone. All I ask in return is patience. Nobody is ever ignored.
I shall endeavour to reply to the most urgent outstanding messages this evening, once it’s either too dark or too wet to keep working on the cars.
Cheers,
Tom
Hi Steve, what do you need doing? I to would whole heartedly recommend WOM, but depending on what needs doing I do know of a good garage in Kirby Lonsdale that does all things German.Are there any A2 specialists / recommended repairers in North Lancashire / South Cumbria areas please ?
Tried to contact Timmus this week but without success.
Regards,
Steve
While they’re not A2 specialists, I hold Noble’s Garage in Langwathby in very high regard. Marcus is a car nut (currently building a Metro 6R4) and they always address the core problem rather than mitigating the symptoms. VERY reasonable rates. Langwathby may not count as South Cumbria, though. They get my vote.Are there any A2 specialists / recommended repairers in North Lancashire / South Cumbria areas please ?

I asked before when you recommended Nobles Garage Langwathby, why you went there when you appear to be in Suffolk ? Can’t remember what you said.While they’re not A2 specialists, I hold Noble’s Garage in Langwathby in very high regard.

Sorry. Had not seen your reply until tonight. Which Garage In Kirkby Lonsdale please ? Google Search found Micks Garage. Is that the one ?Hi Steve, what do you need doing?

Yes it's Micks garage, basically a Mercedes specialist but seemed very helpful and knowledgeable when I took one of my A2's there for some work. I used it as it was handy for my work and wouldn't hesitate to use him again.Sorry. Had not seen your reply until tonight. Which Garage In Kirkby Lonsdale please ? Google Search found Micks Garage.

Contacted Timmus eventually and went down to see him yesterday for the Scan.
Micks Garage quoted £112 + VAT. to fit the good used Genuine Audi Manifold Cat. I bought from Paul (Depronman). It’s Booked in for 27th August. They will check Emissions afterwards then carry out MOT Test if it Passes Emissions Test. They might find something else of course but they only charge £40 for MOT Test!Yes it's Micks garage, basically a Mercedes specialist but seemed very helpful and knowledgeable when I took one of my A2's there for some work.

I think he has a courtesy car available too.
Micks Garage have fitted the good used Genuine Audi Manifold Cat. I bought from Paul ( Depronman). They confirm it is a good Cat. but the A2 will still not pass the Emissions Test as it is “ Over Fuelling “. They will try to Diagnose later this afternoon. Any suggestions please ?
