Can't help with your question, I'm afraid as I'm a D2 guy (there is a buyer's guide for a D2 somewhere), but I thought I'd give this a 'bump' to see if any of the D3 folks (Ian, are you there?) might come along.....

MMI3G is better than 2G..
The FL is mechanically and essentially electrically the same as the PF, so the issues would still be the same, but the D3 is a pretty reliable car in general. 13k might get you a 4.2TDi.. but you should be able to get a good spec 3.0TDi or 4.2 petrol for that.

Quick look on AT gets a few..
http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classifi...true?logcode=p is one.. You searching for A8's? Some won't mention Bose as it's a pretty common option.. You're looking for the little silver logo in the corner of the speakers. Or it may have B&O

Sports spec is nice... But you'll probably find more toys in an upgraded SE.. The suspension is a little firmer and lower, but you can lower it using VCDS anyway.
my PF had sport suspension and seats, and I don't miss them.

quite like the look of this one but vastly overpriced
