A mate of mine has a Garage in Farnworth near Bolton, RS Auto's 01204 572812  http://www.motsbolton.com/.

They swapped my downpipe for a Milltek one in about an hour max, it wouldn't take 5 mins more to break the old Pre-Cat out though.

No fault code / light. They posted it up on their Facebook page after to advertise removing pre-cats. They have won best garage award for about 4 years so your car is in safe hands :happy2:

Wow..that really is something! Have you had any experience for routine service there?
I might skip awesome for my 100k service if they are really good and reasonably priced.

He's Sunderland   :grin:

Yeah I've had cars serviced there. They have the right oil for the TFSI in stock. They are VERY well thought of round our way.

The website isn't regularly updated if your looking for prices, your best calling.
