    Hi mate, I know the Audi has given you a lot of grief and many man hours of work but for us watching it has given us a lot of info with Audi,s and a lot can I say “ entertainment “, love the context and makes me so glad that I have a boring old Toyota and honestly I’m not being cynical just that Audi,s seem like a lot of work and very few of us can work on them as you do

    Hi, I've watched a few of your videos and found them all enjoyable...very informative, I really appreciate the way you've managed to get your camera kinda up close to broken bits or bolts that would otherwise be hidden.

    Great work Dean you are a master, just wondering as I hear negative responses, would you recommend renewing the transmission oil/fluid say every 30 or 40k miles on both manual and automatics as personally I would as I’m extremely fussy and look after my stuff, I recently did my Nissan nv200 manual gearbox oil at 88k miles, first change was about 30k miles cheers and best regards to you mark from billericay 👍
