    Very easily replaced, but not cheap on an Audi?

    There is ways around these sort of things.

    Plus I'd replace most things... I mean every car owner should know how to service it? Change oil, brake disks and pads, spark plugs (on a petrol car) etc.

    I've replaced brake discs, wheel bearings, batteries and even exhaust systems over the years, but can't be arsed doing it myself any more.

    Think am getting a Mitsubishi Colt, Suzuki Swift or VW Lupo if I can.

    Dad's being nice and putting me on his insurance on his Lexus too.

    Depends if you mean the new models or the old ones BBM. I quite like the old Colts but the new ones look dreadful.

    Won't be able to get any of those for under £2k unless you got one of the older models. Apart from the Lupo.

    Dad decided to buy me a brand new one, at the expense of not getting an 18th or a holiday.

    Oh and the Lupo is his mates.
