I've managed to contact OP and buy the car. After an 8h bus journey and 5h journey back home I could not be happier with the car.

Bushido is also the nicest guy you will ever meet and an absolute pleasure to do business with!

Appreciate and humbled by your kind words there Ronin.

Two honest people met and the rest was a pleasure to be a part of.

Now enjoy the car and keep us in the loop as to how things progress.

Keep on keeping on

Always good to see another one saved and kept in good hands.
Get VCDS plugged in to find out what the EML is really on for, ASAP. Hopefully something that's easily fixed.
You've got plenty of time before the next MOT luckily.

Congratulations on ending your search and finding a suitable A8, here's to an enjoyable ownership

He's a great bloke is Paul, we never did trade a car between us but we've kept in touch for years due to a mutual love of cars and lavishing care and attention on them, and a bit of polish
