Guys, I own a lovely A3. I am absolutely fascinated.

Western Motors one in Galway and drogheda

order parts from ecstuning.com. no dealer or shop is going to give you a better deal. no matter what someone tells you. as far as service... don't go to the audi dealer, they rape you and they hardly do a good job. check out audizine.com and look into their regional forums. you will get the best help you could imagine and the people there have tons of experience.

man, thank you - thank you ive been waiting for an answer like this for ages. actually i got something today from someome in the uk (?)... basically there are two ways to go over service here, either at the dealer were they charge over 200% over part prices or at specialized workshops that are more user friendly, yet still make money on selling you the part. ive been giving the car, baby treatment since day one, yet due to the prices I wouldn't mind establishing a cool relationship with a reliable parts dealer in the south east coast... thanks again, good couple of hints take care
