Hello,
I recently found a place specialising in german cars in ivor, bucks (about
10mins from heathrow) and had them replace all the rubber
in the suspension on my urq. All went very painlessly and they seem to know
what their talking about.
I don't have their name or number here at the office but they share
a building with fontain audi (www.fontain.co.uk / 01753 650909) so they should
be able to give you their number. If not let me know and I'll dig out
their details when I'm at home.
Hope this helps
Stephen.
