Cheers Marty  ____________________ Current: 2001 Audi S8 - Brilliant Black with Black interior, C5 RS6 rims (whenever I actually put them on...), Solar Sunroof, Tinted side and rear glass, RNS-D, Grom, Bose, clunky old phone in arm rest! 2002 Audi S8 - Project Replacement head coming arrived thanks to MJSilver with Black interior. All features as the '01, with the 'S' mode auto shifter. Dodgey rear tint (need to find a way to get rid of that). Family: 2009 Volvo XC90 V8 R Design - has a louder more obnoxious exhaust than the S8, sounds great! Love this thing - Q7 was double the price, and certainly not double the car! Sold: 1997 Audi A4 - Hamilton's Club Sport, Achat Grey (will miss the old girl)

What's in the workshop today? Not much!
I scrapped an A4 to make room for the new S8 so cleared the space in front of the back door. For some reason November is dead S8 month  2015 I bought my grey one, which ran but not well. 2016 I bought the Avus FE, and this year I've bought the black one. Rather an odd coincidence. 2.8s can turn up at any time apparently.The FEs are out the back now: Two more back in the workshop - SY52 is getting a manual swap And the A4 shunter (who's main job is pushing dead 8's around the workshop) gets a rare night inside the workshop! Recently it has been forced to sit in the yard since there has been no space inside.

I can always bring mine down for a quick visit if you're worried about the shunter getting too cocky or warm lol

Bit out of focus so can't see the ends clearly to see if it's a pipe or linkage or whatever.
Is it something like an interconnect between the gear shift and ignition?
