Thanks Sarg. I'll have a look as well in a bit.
Architex, I'm debating it. It looks like a nice motor. not sure on the colour green, it could just be the pictures.
What is the 4.0TDI engine like?
Does the gear boxes need to be services?
I've heard bad things about the Multronic (SP?) boxes and that the tip boxes are better.
But this is coming from A6, I assume they would use the same box and engine?

Yes, air suspension on all D3s
Gear box doesn't 'officially' need servicing, but they only take account of the first 3-5 years. Most haven't been, but most should be.
The quattro A8s only ever have torque converter gearboxes. Multitronic, I think, is Audi's CVT transmission, but only available with front wheel drive only cars. We had a Mini with a CVT, it was awful!
