Front o/s drive shaft and ABS sensor are winging their way to me tomorrow, arrive on Thursday. My grease monkey squeezed me in even though one of them is on holiday so it looks like I should make it on Sunday.   .
Dealing with A8parts leaves such a lovely warm, fuzzy feeling in my tummy. If bits could just stop breaking please so I could save up for an S8 or a chipped 4.2 tdi that would be nice. The wife said that she wants another one when we kill this one, mostly because I can tell her what's wrong with it (thanks to you lot) and thanks to A8parts and a good mechanic it's cheap to fix. 9000 miles and it's cost me, even after this, less than £400 (not including £550 on tyres but don't tell the wife.) in servicing and maintenance. If it would just do more than 20mpg it would be perfect .
