[928uk] S4 is now mine, wheel spacers and first gear.

I must have remapped it - who was the previous owner, Mike  ?

  Congratulations on your purchase.


  Engine mapping, on a car from Cambridge, perhaps JDS would like to comment.


  26mpg - as others have suggested, perhaps a miscalculation...


  S4 Brake discs are not so expensive, I think about £130 (front pair) from ECP.


  Auto boxes - I know nothing other than the deadly Achilles Heal that they introduced - TBF. Do not underestimate the potential for uneconomic repairs if your car suffers Thrust Bearing Failure.


  Similarly the other type of TBF, if the timing belt lets go, the car effectively has no value.


  I'm not familiar with the Heriot - Carlisle road, but I really do like the A6 through Shap, despite it's deadly reputation. I'll have to check out the B709 next time I'm in the area.


  After the preventative maintenance mentioned above, you're most likely to appreciate an investment in new shocks considering the B roads you enjoy.
