Default So long and thanks for all the threads

It is much sadnees that I have parted with my A8. The head finally overtook the heart and I have let her go. I have thouroghly enjoyed owning the car and these forums and I shall no doubt keep popping back for a peak every now and then.

Big thank you for all the help and advise I have had helping me keep the car going, this place and the people on it are an invaluable resource, especially to the 'self helpers' like myself.

Who knows, in the future I could definitly see myself with a D3 4.2TDi
