AT order goes live for an April 30th order. Please read.

[Rickmeister]

Good morning everyone, i'm taking requests now for an order to be placed on April 30th. First off though I would like to thank members who have helped with distribution in the UK. Putting 10 or so items in single boxes and posting I know, can be quite a task. Thank you for that.

Please read all of this if you would like something and for those old hands, welcome back, for first - timers, welcome aboard!

Notes: Please tell me what you want from Audi Tradition, exactly, including part numbers. Just asking " I'd like a cable please" doesn't help me. I don't work for any aspect of the motor trade and won't search part numbers for you. Just get a coffee or something and look in AT for what you need.
Volico paint is another option if you need any.

How it works if you are new to this:
I compile a spreadsheet with a member handle, part numbers and email address then I order using PayPal 30 days free credit. I receive the order, check it and return if needed. Then I arrange to forward to the UK using DHL and effectively you own the item as a return/refund from the UK would be a nightmare. After I forward the items please reimburse me via PP friends and family as I don't want to pay fees on this. If all goes well, I clear the PP 30 days early and everyone is happy.

What to do now if you want something.

If you can see the part then it can be ordered. Small items work best but cubby boxes have been posted before.

Paint, primer etc etc.

Mail me direct please to rick.h.harrison@gmail.com with AT May in the subject. That way all requests come to one place and I don't need to search through threads for requests. So:
Subject: AT MAY
Include part numbers / paint colours and your A2OC forum name.

Let's go!

Rick - you’ve always been a life-saver with this, thanks again for the several orders I’ve placed in the past.

 

[scimmyowner]

Totally agree - without this service many parts would be unobtainable in the Uk as dealers no longer stock essential parts to keep our cars on the road
Cheers Rick

You’re a star Rick, thank you for doing this!

Very welcome, lets keep the wee beasties on the move!

Question: are the handbrake cubby hole things These just a straight swap, or are fixings/other bits needed???

 

[George Hogg]

The easiest way is to snap off their little legs and attach with Sturdy velcro

 

[cheechy]

or you do it properly like me and replace the centre column cover with the proper one and it clicks beautifully into place

Note that the smallest compartment on that handbrake tray is open at the bottom, where originally the Nav system controls would have clipped in. You'd need to fix a floor into it. In my former Cobalt TDI I used a piece cut from a broken glovebox, which had a very similar flocking to the inside to match the other compartments.

@Rickmeister, I've sent you another email with a considerable increase to the quantities of Volico paint I'm ordering. Let me know if any problems.

Platinum. Planning to refresh the door pockets on the FSI as they're doing the usual trick of going brown.

Send Rick an email with your requirements, details are at the top of the thread

Gentlefolk, a quick heads-up for transparency.
My last bundle was pulled up for customs charges the total being GBP22. Probably GBP10 or so of that was admin. Its always a bit of a lottery but this is only the second parcel in 40 or so sent. However, I thought it fair to flag this.
I always write the value down and click Return to Sender when I post so nothing would get lost.
In light of this, if anyone who has contacted me would like to withdraw their order at this stage, its completely understandable and easy to do now. Once its all ordered its a bit more faff.

Please mail me otherwise I'll take it that its all fine and good to go.

@Rickmeister Doh, Just spotted this...and only found I needed something yesterday...do you do this often?
Thanks

 

[Rickmeister]

Hi there and yes, it happens every now and again.... It wont happen until this is cleared and funds reimbursed though. I think we have 3 or 4 a year....
Please note its not fast this way but can be speeded up a bit for urgent items like brake cables etc etc.

Waiting for AT delivery but the cats are one step ahead...
