Looks like it’s a fairly straightforward job but easier from under the car, so lift/ramps would be handy.

Approx three bolts and three nuts from what I can see, granted probably not easy accessed.

Good Aftermarket Parts would be -

Suspension Bushes, Wishbones
Lemforder Meyle HD & TRW
Shocks & Coil Springs
Sachs,Bilstein & KYB
Brake Pads & Disc
Textar,Pagid,Brembo,ATE,Mintex,Apec, Eicher < ECP own Brand made by TMD Friction again its Budget pad then we have Nappa a budget pad but not on power with Eicher.
Filtration across the board Oil Air Fuel & Pollen
Mann, Mahle, Bosch,Fram, Hengst if on budget Crossland.
I know Mann and Crossland are block exempt and therefore won't cause any issues if your car is still under warranty.

Performance Braking Brands
EBC, Brembo HP2, Pagid Street + & Pagid RS. << Anyone interested in upgrading pads or disc`s give me a shout. If this is not allowed please delete.

Any recommendations for filters Tufty?

Went for Mahle filters for my A4, but would be good to know what's deemed OEM level quality.

For me it’s Mahle, Mann or Hengst.

As far as I remember it's Tuesday nights, but the invoice says week commencing Monday 18th

Edit, checked to be sure. Definitely looks like it starts on Tuesday 19th

 

[chanlon1]

I just logged in to the SERC website and it says......

My invoice says Monday, the website says Tuesday......this is going to be interesting.......

 

[lennyd]

WC = week commencing
So it will be on the Tuesday of the week commencing Monday 18th of September

Don't know why they don't just say it starts on the 19th September

Happened to me too. They sent out the wrong passwords to everyone. Email them and they will give you the right one. Couldn’t make it up hah

Got the new login details and eventually got logged on. Talk about a convoluted process....
I can only see "5 tasks" in Teams...health&safety and all that......is that what you are referring to?

I got someone else's receipt altogether, including Name, Address, Course etc

I emailed the link in the login details email and they reset my password which now works ok

[Coog]

I'm still milking my qub email for student discounts 15 years after graduation. Got £200 off a phone last month with it

 

[Dan]

Yeh it’s your log in to Teams.

I used my wife’s student ID for a work related course she did 5 years ago for Apple Music. Every year when it asks me to renew or it will revert to full price I ignore it and it stays the same price.

Also got an SERC email account, got logged in and sent a test email so it works
