So yes, I expect it will sell cheap, but the seller will probably get the best price and for someone who can see past those faults, there is a nice enough car hiding under there....

Thanks IT,
You're more than correct on that front, to be honest I wouldn't of even of considered selling the car if I had faith in the Audi dealership, but as they have been useless every time I've been involved and my need to get to hospital multiple times a week is essential then it's only becoming a hindrance to me as I know at some point I will need to check the oils, but the people on here are so knowledgeable that if someone offered to come to Cornwall and fix my problem then I would happily pay them Audi main dealer rates, I know you guys are able to have the means of fixing your own cars yourself, and my car out there with a Forum user means it would be fixed.
I love the car I truly do it's done 7,000 very happy miles with me and I've enjoyed most of them, I just hate being let down when the things I'm willing to pay to have fixed are just left festering because of the sake of useless back up. So if there is anyone local to Cornwall who would like to earn the cash for fixing this problem then I'd happily look at that option. The car is far to good to be broken, there is nothing wrong with it mechanically, it simply needs a bonnet opening and ideally a head lamp and fog lamp switch despite them illuminating as they should... and with it being a desirable colour and model, with low mileage on the last year or two of the D3 it is not one to scrap. It simply needs someone to help me sort it, or someone to take it as their own that has the ability to tinker and do work on their own cars, I am not in a health situation to be working on cars and so I'm left in this situation where I've got little option other than to sell a car I love and enjoy driving for the sake of a few small problems, people on this forum have already said can be fixed.
I appreciate all of the help and I will now go and check my private message!
Regards,
Mark

Future Plans:
Selling my current Audi A8 Quattro Sport and replace is with a newer D4 Audi A8L with the 4.2V8 Twin Turbo setup once again it must be black. I'm looking for one with the options added where it has the rear recliing seats, with heated outers. Bose speakers minimum and B&O's if affordable. Rear and back door sun blinds prefered.
Planned Mods:
Upon the arrival of my A8L D4, I will be once again having the ECU remapped to a performance setting over economy. Rear Tints as dark as can go whilst also tinting the front windows with a medium tint. Once again I will be purchasing lowering links for the air ride suspension and setting it at 55mm lower when in comfort as my desire rideheight over standard. Alloys will be 21" however the one current most likly to be the next car already has a brand new set of 2016 S8Plus wheels on it.
