Jeez, is that all they're worth? The wheels and mirrors must be worth close to that.

I think I will take it as long as nobody beats me to it, I need to sleep on it and mull it over a day or two like I did with the C6...(which I ended up buying), I would need to get rid of my PF A8 though, I couldn't make the two work...

Glad it's gone to a (very) good home. Good luck with your hunt for a D3 s8 (or whatever...) Steve.

Amar - what are you looking for for the calipers?

Nice dealing with you, Steve. Thanks for the kind words and the opportunity to buy your lovely S8

Unfortunately, the car overheated about 1-3 miles from home, it was fine the 140 odd miles I did before I got it home so I hope it is something as simple as a coolant pipe popping off, bad luck I guess, not a drop in the coolant reservoir so I think it was a sudden thing rather than a gradual leak. I did hear a noise as I pulled off from a roundabout and could smell burning, then the coolant light came on and I noticed the temp had gone over 90...

I've not had the time/energy to investigate as had to get home for a certain time and had a late night yesterday, so will investigate on a day I have more energy.

Tintin - I'll send you a PM.

Nice spec, I think heated front screen was the only thing I've not had in a D2 bar fridge. How do you activate the front heated screen?

Here's the spec from a friend at Audi:

-[5J5J] Azure Blue Pearl Effect
-[WJ] Papyrus
-[3Y5] Electric Rear Sun Blind/Manual Side Blind
-[5MX] Insert, maple wood, light finish
-[8RY] BOSE Sound System
-[PDB] Twin-pane heat/UV insulating glass/heated w.screen
-[PX5] Xenon Plus headlights (inc.headlight washers)
-[QV1] TV reception

I think it just comes on automatically when you press the windscreen demist button on the heater controls, no separate button.
If it's anything like the one in my Ford Focus it will turn off after a couple of minutes.
