Anyone got any recommendations? I'm just fed up with the money grabbing tw@s at my local main dealer and the fact that they seem to "invent" some problems and ignore others, last time they told me I needed a new ecu for over £800 as they had a esp fault code that wouldn't clear, when pressed on the matter they admitted there might be nothing wrong at all and that traction and stability control was all fine in operation but "might" fail, they got the response of "well I'll cross that bridge IF it happens" and yet when I asked about getting the belts changed they told me the schedule was that they didn't need doing on an S3 till 120K which seems to directly contradict the advice from the people that tune these things. So I've had enough of paying over the odds and am looking for an independant that specialises in Audi's preferably S and RS models and who does routine servicing not just performance tuning.

Not quite in your neck of the woods, but it might be worth a trip down to QST in Haywards Heath.

Alternatively Fontain in Iver, Bucks.

Other than that you'll have to wait for someone who dares venture to that dark corner of Kent to come up with suggestions.
