Huw Powell, I can't believe you said that. DUCT TAPE? On an AUDI?

There are two very good reasons for not using duct tape:

1. An Audi is a precision engineered, finely crafted, German driving
machine. It deserves only the finest OEM, high $$$$ parts on the very rare
occasions servicing is required.

2. Duct tape is not yellow.

Really, Huw. Using duct tape on an Audi would be like, like, well, like
putting lawnmower parts in it! Totally unthinkable :o)
