I've been an interested observer of the forum for 18 months but felt that I had little to add to the comments until now.So here goes-
A cautionary tale- but one which might help fellow A2 drivers and riders rest easy in their beds. We've just been victims of a concertina crash on an off-ramp on the M1. Whilst waiting at the lights doing no one any harm we received a rather forceful kick up the back side . The impact bumpers certainly did their job at the rear. The front impact bumpers must have bent a lot too- but my main concern was the struts which hold the front grille were damaged in such a way that they punctured the radiator and the turbo bits ( 'scuse the lack of technical knowledge.)
What was originally a bit of body repair became a major refit- I got excellent servoice from the approved repairer in outer Hull and from the insurance company- but it was nice to leave the courtesy Ka and get back into the A2. The struts do concern me though - so if VAG are reading this- may be worth a rethink?
