David,

There are some parts I'll need I can pick up on the day. Do I PM you or give you a call?

Thanks

Steve

Talking of seats, I noticed that your eBay shop has a set of what appear to be FL D2 S8 cream leather Recaro front seats in good condition, though it doesn't indicate what mileage the donor car had done.

Now my cream S8 front seats should be identical to that and fine EXCEPT that both of them leak pressure in the lumbar support, which I guess is a faulty valve that as far as I'm concerned is inaccessible.

Is there a deal to be done where we can swap the seats over (you experts doing the swapping) for a sensible price and you then have a pair of (probably "lower mileage") identical seats that need a repair to the lumbar supports? :cool:

If there is I could combine that with attending the open day on Sunday and staying overnight to swap the seats on Monday.....

You're a bit too far from me for a day out. :ROFL:

Yup :)
I weighed the spare recaro thats in my living room and it weighs 36kg. To me that's just a ridiculous weight for whats effectively chair :ROFL:
I find that I dont use the electric adjustment at all, its in the position I like and I hardly ever move it. The only thing I dont want to lose is the comfy-ness, these seats are absolutely the best I have sat it. I literally drove for 22 hours and had no seat-induced pains.
I'm thinking the manual seats cant weigh more than 20kg each surely?

David and I have been trying to pluck up the courage to tell you this, and I don't know if the forum will automatically delete the obsenity. So, for those of you who are easily offended (and those not so easily offended), look away now and don't scroll down.

David and I will be.....
























...car sharing. :o

First time I have ever heard it called that ,but grats to both of you :p

At least you'll each have your own "armrest". :rolleyes:

The Laird will be in the rear seats, naturally. :p

Pfff

Worried my old girl was going to show it up?

And David will be in his uniform, complete with peaked cap! :)

ooh dress up too :ROFL:

Dear A8 Parts,

Do you have a facelift boot lid in this colour without a gps thingy?
LZ6H Racing green

I have been toying with the idea of swapping to a gps-free bootlid for that extra smooth look :) since I dont have a navigation unit any more.

Thanks

Put my name down , I only live up the A66 so it'd be rude not to ! :o

.

In this case ill be looking for some ventilated/massage front seats and fully adjustable rear seats :D +++

Hi Goran,

Sorry we don't have any left in that colour however if you wanted one in a different shade we would be happy to assist.

Kind regards
Dave

Going to have to pull out of this unfortunately. Cars in bits having the coilovers fitted and new suspension arms and bushes. The old ones were seized on and are being a bitch to get off :-(

Rear ones have gone on fine and had new rear discs and they changed the fuel filter.

The bills not going to be cheap and its a good distance to travel and I just cant afford the fuel :(.

Hope to meet some of you guys soon and hope you have a great day :)

Hi Dave, no worries, I might wait for a bit to see if one shows up in the right colour, to save respray costs.

anone in the leeds area want to convoy up again this year

Plus 1 +++

I will be travelling up there on Saturday as i am staying at Travel lodge Darlington on Saturday night and meeting the boys +++
