Are all a8's all aluminium??
Am I right in thinking that all versions of the A8 are entirely made of aluminium? I cant find a definitive answer on the tinternet. Considering a D3 to replace my D2 sport but considering some of the water ingress problems I've had I'm keen to remain with an aluminium body.

All A8 are aluminium
Hi,
Yes they are. Some interesting articles on internet about construction, especially the changes and simplification from D2 to D3. I had no water ingress issues with my D3 S8 over more than 6 years and 100,000 miles. Cheers Richardracer

Only water ingress problem for me on my D3 has been the rear nearside inner light.
This shows in two ways:-
I'll have to find time to have another go at it.
