Gasket and filter I've not got yet but from what I gather it'll be Audi, TPS or a ZF specialist.
How's the work on the other one going?

Thanks for the replies Gents, I wasn't expecting any TBH as there can't be too many owners of 1996 cars left on here.
Progress is pretty slow at the moment Nick. Illness put me out to grass for a while but I'm slowly amassing parts to attack the project anew. That wretched 2.7 A6 was the worst Audi I've ever owned. It was constantly playing up and spent more time on my ramp with me cursing it, than on the road. All of which added to the delays on the A8.
I've just bought a pallet full of parts from those well known and blooming brilliant folk at a company called 'Prestige Motor Services'. Anyone ever heard of 'em?
As the 1996 cars have the 'universal' loom I've decided to add to the project cars spec a bit. I thnk I may have gone a little OTT
But as I'm keeping the car for the rest of my driving career (barring accidents) who cares.
I'm none too sure if what's in the gearbox of my second A8 is Dextron II. The oil leak I have seems to be an opaque yellow/clear fluid. So can you refill with Dextron II? I was under the impression that it wasn't that simple. If you gather any more info Nick, please let me know.
