Pff, ignore GlasgowG, he's just had 4 free shock absorbers and springs after less than a month of being here so got nothing to complain about lol. - I think it was you, I'm one the wine! :icon-lol:

Welcome to the club.

Nothing to worry about at 70k long as the main service has been done at 50k if it's a gen 3 or 60k if a 58plate or later siii.

Had both a Gen 3.5 and currently a Siii from 50k to over 80k with no issues at al other than the usual things like tyres and servicing.

Heyup m8. It really is a good place to be. Don't worry about your car.. Saying that, I've just been speaking to a m8 with an Audi which I want if I'm sensible! Which is not very often. !! Welcome :handgestures-thumbupleft:
