    :think: The saga of my S8 continues, after a quick visit for new brakes all round we found one of the H&R rear springs had snapped! Couldn't persuade them to supply a new pair (they did kindly offer me a full kit for £1500) So, £50 later from ebay I have a pair of S8 rear springs and rubber...

    Suspension - Is there anybody out there ??

    Just been playing under the car replacing a track rod end to discover my new ride is sitting on H&R fully adjustable suspension, anyone got this to advice on good settings as she is running too low and hard at the moment. Also, I discovered a sensor that looks like it monitors ride height on...

    GPL in Audi S8

    :blackrs4: I have just collected a 2000 model S8 4.2, running a Pins LPG gas conversion. The conversion is great, does take up boot space (to get better weight distribution) or spare wheel well. The system runs petrol to start and then swaps to gas after a minute or so. There is a bit of...
