    Hi Vaughan, I recently came across your YouTube videos, what great memories you must have. I really enjoyed them thanks for taking the time to put them together. The logistics at hearts must of been a nightmare and a lot of hard work transporting everything across to the yard. My parents only hired from there once, roving heart I think it was an old wilds Bermuda. I remember the yard ending up being a bit of a boat graveyard for richardsons with quite a few of there old thames moored. A unique location for a yard and of course the mtb moored there. 

    Any chance of a link to these please

    Got a nasty surprise t'other day there.

    The Q5 was in at Audi for some fixes foc via the national dvla recall system - Everything done and to the good.  They found a couple of other issues, a creak from somewhere on the rear suspension and a squeaking brake pedal assembly, both issues are covered under the original Audi warranty, it is booked in in ten days or so with a courtesy car provided, all to the good then.

    The nasty surprise came when I enquired about obtaining a spare key.  We knew when we purchased the car it didn't have one.  The Audi dealership quoted us to supply / code etc £395:00 - WOW :default_icon_e_surprised:

    Fortunately I was sat on my derrière at the time.  I said I would 'Think About It'  which is my own code for - Not a bloody chance lady, I'll have a search round on t'internet when I get home

    I duly rang a professional auto locksmiths up in Sheffield.  He explained to me that Audi hang on to the codes for about five years from new, and the only way to obtain a spare key is direct through Audi until late 2023 at t earliest

    So, do we risk MrsG losing the only key we have and / or getting it pinched along with her handbag etc?

    Or bite the bullet and pay a Kings ransom to Audi for a spare key. (At least Dick Turpin wore as mask)  Guaranteed if we wait, the worst will happen then getting the Q5 lifted off to Audi etc will cost a whole lot more on top of the £395

    Griff

    Could you not get key cover added onto Mrs G car insurance and then if the worst happens and key gets lost or stolen the insurance will cover all costs ?

    Nbd Back To Len Funnells Ownership

    in Broads Chat

    Posted

    My original post was just wondering if now NBD and WRC are now connected by same ownership if they would be continuing to operate hire fleet separately or if maybe it would all come under NBD banner and have a north and south base with few more boats based at WRC .
    Nothing more than curiosity on my behalf about this .
