Thankyou - they actually looked in sort of reasonable nick - I don,t think that the lighter reds would fair very well in the Portugese sun !. My cars at Audi Wakefield having the rear exhaust heat shield and turbo pipe bracket sorting (why isn,t Tony nearer, Pah !.)
They picked the car up the day after i went on holiday and are doing the work at a sort of discount price, ie fitting it in between other jobs so i will ring them tomorrow. Its not nice having it away from home and hopefully it will be back tomorrow, fingers crossed !.
