Hello all you good people.
I've been following this site for ages and am 2 years into A2 ownership but finally got around to sorting my first post! This is the year the old girl gets some much needed TLC so I'll be starting a project thread shortly as much for my benefit as much as others.
I've always admired the A2 since they first came out but finances and circumstances meant it wasn't until recently I got one. I wanted a diesel but my 3 mile commute made me nervous about a diesel and the death pipe put me off a FSI so I found this well speccd low mileage 1.4 petrol SE locally. The previous owner was thinning out their projects and had replaced the OSS and headlining. Refurbished the rear axle, fitted rear sensors, a questionable head unit although it has sat nav and plays DVDs and done a full service including timing belt.
Just before Christmas I almost sold it as the wife's S max broke down and we use this to tow our caravan so bought another car to replace the A2 in case it was needed for towing but after only a couple of journeys I realised I was making a terrible mistake, sold the Astra and bought a tent that will fit in the A2 should the S max break down again!
Several issues have arisen over the last couple of years and I've modifications planned much of which I'll be able to resolve with this great site.
Looking forward to meeting up with you all at some socials. Hopefully something will be planned in 'gert lush' country soon

The additional buttons added on the centre console allow the head unit to be powered without the ignition being on
