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.
