Re-fitted a door seal on the driver's side which was badly fitted. VW quality control is pretty poor IMO.

Checked panel gaps, fit and finish and adjusted the Dynaudio.

I'm sure that could never happen on a mass produced Audi, built to the same procedures with nigh-on the same parts bin, no way at all.  :whistle:

My neighbour has just gotten rid of their audi as it kept getting wet in the drivers footwell,  after many many visits to Audi trying to get it fixed they have finally given up and got rid of it.

They knew it was a lease when they built it!  :whistle: :grin:

You are obviously THE ORACLE in these matters.  :whistle:

Rained this morning. Car covered in Pink Cherry Blossoms. Picked them off one by one as once they dry in the sun they cause staining and are a bugger to remove. Besides, Red and Pink clash rather badly.

Moved car to a Cherry-Blossom-Free spot.

Be careful chopping trees down. If the tree is healthy you're not allowed to just chop them down any more and if someone tells the council you'll be fined etc etc

I love trees but they are a right PITA for cars, blossom, sap, not to mention the dreaded bird sh!t. That's why we've never planted any trees in our front garden, got loads in the back to make up for it.

Is the tree in your garden Asker?  If you live it a conservation area then you will most likely have to replace a chopped tree down like for like so defeats the object unless replacement is planted in a different location.  And don't forget it's now bird nesting season.  If it's a tree on the street then it probably belongs to the council or highway authority. 

The tree probably has more rights than you do  :laugh:

Park on street in a Conservation Area. Street is lined on both sides with Cherry Blossom Trees. They look very pretty when in full bloom.

I bet they do look very pretty.  Lovely having trees on the street scene, most of the time  :smiley:

You'll just have to vie for a non tree parking spot whenever you can, but then blossom can blow anywhere.  The blossom phase doesn't last long anyway.
