On Tuesday the 4x4 is going to a workshop in the Industrial area of Nairobi, where the exhaust will be removed, inspected and repaired with welding etc,. The estimated cost is about £28 (hopefully).

The service yesterday was £30 Labour, parts was £50, in addition Shell oil 5W30 7L £60, Coolant ready mixed about £15.

A/C regassed £16:67

Servicing looks cheaper than in the UK? Parts are just as expensive. The price of labour is negotiable.

Sorry nothing more mundane to report.

We are planning on going on a long drive into the bush and I want the car to be safe and okay for driving on and off road.

How is everyone?

Morning Phil,

Sounds good prices, bit too far for me to get the Audi serviced though
