Alright all ! Just signed up to this forum because I am 99% buying a Negaro B6 Audi 4.2 V8 S4 this week . Just wondering if anyone is about in the Northants / Milton Keynes area with any knowledge with these monsters !

Yeah I have done plenty of research before considering buying one. The B6 I will be buying has all the relevant paperwork/history inc timing chain so all is good on that behalf ! I will check with the garage tomorrow just to confirm that the work £4.7k worth is legit ! Same for the clutch too !!

Should I be aware of any transmission problems? Its the manual version

Anyone in this area got a ramp I could throw it on at all?
