Well I'm no longer a lr owner , she went today at lunch time , I pulled it from the deal with Audi and sold it to someone else with a much better offer , still no delivery date on my new car so we are driving around in a van ATM , our lr will be missed as its been a great car to own for just over two years with no faults at all , and with one only very occasional rattle in a rear passenger door , she's been a goodun I will be keeping an eye on you lot so behave ,

Am I gonna be the first to say it happy Christmas to you all,

Happy Christmas to you too but what Audi have you gone for? I like Audi's and my dad drives an A4 but it is a shame that so many are driven by idiots who drive like maniacs and tailgate etc

Funny you say that my two sons say the same thing about Audi drivers, we are down sizing big time, got a new Audi a1 black edition coming with there new 14tsi cylinder on demand engine with stronic gearbox, same colour as our lr white with grey wheels it's been on order since the 17th of August and hopefully it's leaving the docks in Germany later this week , should be some low cost motoring with £30 road tax and 5 years free servicing and around 45-50 mpg , book figures are 67mpg , we are used to small cars as we had to minis before the freelander . Looking forward to it coming in the next 2-3 weeks

Similar to the move I made

Went to the Fiesta because I needed to save money big time. If I still had the FL2 when I started the LPC at Uni and incurred fees therein, I would have had a visit by now from Mr B.liff

The Fez is £0 tax Claimed 65mpg but I get 40-50mpg depending on driving style etc. 1.0 turbo petrol so it's actually faster and more powerful on all fronts than the 1.6 NA engine from the previous shape fiesta. The savings are great and £55 fill up to go 350-400 miles approx (winter tyres fitted now too) LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

I have a 12 plate A3 S-Line Black Edition and it is ! The worst car I have ever had. Terrible reliability and the dealers are full of crap as well!

I hope you have better luck!! My personally opinion is that Audi are living on past reputation. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

I know five people running all different audi's they all love them and two have replaced like for like, and when it comes to dealers I don't think I would have to go very far for a crap lr dealer , there's good and bad every where, I've study the a1 forum long and hard , and the reading on there almost puts you off buying one , as did this forum when I was thinking of buying our fl2 I very nearly went else where, the same with the ford Kuga forum , it's the one bad thing with all these forums they make us all worry so much about our future pride and joy ,that we are nervous wrecks on delivery, I'm guilty to as I participate , any way we will see

The problem is, every car forum will paint a bad picture of every car. As you say, most people search out forums for answer on problems.

We have 17 company cars at work, and up until 18 months ago, every one was a Volkswagen/Audi due to company policy at the time. In Feb 2012, the rules changed so that you could choose any manufacturer with a value up to your given budget.

All but three abandoned VW/Audi due to poor reliability. They went to, BMW, Toyota, Volvo, Vauxhall and Mazda.

Mine has broken down and had to be recovered three times in the 18 months I have had it, and not once did the Audi dealer have a courtesy car as they were all out for owners who's cars had broken down as well.

Audi drivers are like BMW drivers, they should never be seen to complain about the cars. Once mine goes back at the end of the lease, I'll never have another.

We bought a brand new A3 2.0 Turbo in June 2006, and this went to the dealers about 14 times in 15 months due to faults. I should have learnt my lesson then!! Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

Like I said before we will see, there is a office centre on our farm that too is full of audis vw's and the odd skoda i wil have to keep on eye out to see what there cars are replaced with over time ,fingers crossed then I have been very lucky with cars hope it continues

2014 is a good year I'll be ok , I've never had a car over 20000 miles looks like yours were getting on a bit,egr's and dual mass flywheels have been a problem for every manufactor who has them even lr , there's plenty of good ones out there so I not put off by your bad luck , if it bad it's only got to do 2 years and our dealer is on our door step so it won't cause me to much hassle ,
