Weren’t they notoriously unreliable?

I don't envy anyone having to drive in London. I did it for many years and have no need to ever do it again

I've already got a second opinion lined up. The boiler itself is over ten years old, so theoretically it may need replacing, but probably shouldn't.
I await the second opinion

One of the lads who works for me runs a late 90's diesel A3 on chip fat. Some fairly simple mods and he was up and running.
He's from a seaside town, so pays about 20p a litre to a series of local chip shops. Cleans everything out every couple of thousand of miles.
He conceded that it was a bit of a faff at first, but when he worked out the savings, he said it was worth it. Apparently anything later than late 90's VAG cars are just too technical - something to do with the injectors being significantly more complex etc

I have a small rental out in Essex that has very slowly but surely looked after itself for many years. Rented out once again to a nice chap who moved in a month ago and all was good with the world. Boiler was inspected prior to the tenant moving in and everything passed with the usual flying colours. Email from the managing agents yesterday stating that the tenant had reported no central heating or hot water. Agent sends plumber in who says that a new boiler is needed as a result of the existing one having shat itself. Plumber says that he catch patch it up for £1000 + VAT, or install a new one for £2500 + VAT...
The same plumber was in last month and gave it completely clean bill of health.
Methinks there's some skullduggery afoot...

Did that end up getting flipped?

Just been offered £50k for the M3 by a bloke who swears he won't flip it...

Quite surprised you haven't ventured down the "big Audi" route
