Audi A4 2.5 TDi quattro

For a while, with traction control extinguished, the lack of grip was controllable, and fun. Then a Teflon steering pad, cleverly disguised as a wet roundabout, put a halt to that and the 'ASR off' button became firmly out of bounds. The tyres were dead. Four new Dunlops later, it was back to work as usual.

Next casualty of hard mileage: the brakes. The once small vibration under braking is now becoming a tremor measured on the Richter scale. Probably warped discs, but a thorough inspection is needed.
