Indeed it is Paul! Might even be worth it crossing the channel...

Sounds very interesting Paul, congratulations! I think Supersprint is about to release a "crossover-kit", that might be very interesting, as the cat replacements delivers most power gains here I think (AMD said that too, but they only have cat replacements for S4 V8). What did this setup...

I meant the silver one btw. It's on 'sale' now at 25k. Did not see a green one at Fontain. Whatever you do, take your time, or you may be dissapointed! 540i is quite a good car, but it's no S8 by any means... But no matter what car you get, make sure it's in good shape, and whether it is...

No, that's certainly NOT normal... Leave it alone I'd say! Have you checked www.audi.co.uk? Last time I looked they had a few S8's. Or check out Auto Trader? (Think the one at Fontain might be good value) I don't know how much you want to spend, but be aware there was a 'facelift' in...

Hi Smiffy, glad to hear you're a 'convert' to the S8. It's a superb car as you will find out for sure! The full history is good, see if all services have been done, and whether the belt has been changed! (a costly service, but important). I hope you found a good one mate, cause if you did...

Hi guys, I’m relatively new here, so I have no idea really about what’s going on here lately. But I’ve read some stuff about a new management, whilst the ‘old’ management apparently wants to move the content to another server. I’m totally in the dark as to why this is and what lays behind...

Cheers, the tyre pressure should be no isse, cause I've got that now too.

Ah I see... They should fit an S8 as wel I thought, no? Or would one need a converter?

Oh, and make sure you demand an original screen (with the Audi logo on it), otherwise you may end up with some imitation cr*p...

That's about right for a heated one, a bit on the high side maybe (€795 here IIRC). If it's not heated it should be less IMO. Prices vary from €500 (£350) - €800 (£560). Code for the heated one is 4GM by the way (see sticker in service manual). You sure which type you need yet?

The issue is whether you are entitled to "mobility warranty" (blunt translation). If you have that (requires: all stamps in service booklet, all services done at Audi and you have this lifetime free service!) you get a similar car. So S8/A8 = A8 loaner. I agreed on the A6 since it was a bit of...

That looks great Matthew! Any special primers/paint needed, or is it pretty straightforward? And does it suffer much? (chips etc).

Paul, I noticed your comments on the blank buttons elsewhere; they are for the electric rear sunscreen and the rear headrests, which you don't have apparently. On mine they're not blank, and I also have the side screens on the rear doors. The sunscreens are wonderful IMO, and the headrest button...

Oh, and HERE's the website!
