Today I.....

Does that include any that are on SORN?
Mac.
I think not. Now you mention to me there is a surprisingly large number of A2s SORN, especially FSI's (eg, under FSI Sport, taxed=479,SORN=134)! I have not looked at the full picture.

The website howmanyleft.co.uk clearly uses freely available data from DVLA and tries to make it more palatable. Having looked at this data for some hours be warned it is riddled with shall I say peculiarities, not 100% accurate but with the scale it must be near enough. The horse's mouth VEH01 is here if you want to lose the will to live


Steve, I made it 11,419 on the road (taxed).

that’s a lot of A2s. I see one most days when we’re out and about which is great.
 
Today I clocked up 65K. At this rate I’ll make the 200K club some time in 2052! Doubt I’ll still be around so perhaps I should leave it to the a2louis car

So, half of the original total of 957 1.6 FSIs sold are still around!
Mac.
Better than that, (479+134)/965x100% = 64%, nearly two thirds left.

But that is false, when I dug down it transpires during the A2 production years the figures are for GB, these days more recent years they are UK. What's the technical difference I never pursued but I surmised NI, total A2 DVLA figures are short by circa 1000 A2s which itself provided to a member, the basis of a very early forum posts if you dig.

The DVLA figures is full of wonderful anomalies, the new A2 registered for the first time before Audi produced any A2s! Today handfuls of A2s still being registered for first time, declared as new by manufacturer in 2008, imported (are these A2's moving North in Ireland, Service personnel bring them back from Euro? It's a devil to get hold of.

I did indeed from Middleton in teesdale, one of my favourite parts on the country (and I get to see a lot of it) will PM next time when I’m up in my A2. PS a little local garage between Barnard Castle and Middleton has a Silver TDI for sale if you fancy another?
Drove past the A2 that's for sale - I'll put a note in the 'For Sale' thread.
 
Add a bulb warning on Wednesday for side light, as I was going to have to pull the lights out I decided to up grade the main dipped beam as well:
Philips WhiteVision Xenon effect H7 Headlight Bulb 12972WHVSM, Twin Pack https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00MZQUIRW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_X8VQDbWRW6PNS
These Phillips H7 actually came packed with a free pair of blue W5W (albeit 5W).

plus the LED side lights
4 Pack T10 W5W 21 x 4014 Car LED... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07D8RCW2H?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

No Can-bus errors with these and look much better without being silly bright.
