Hopefully driving home a D2 S8 later today
Have only a chance to look at the paperwork and check out the interior and bodywork in failing light. Not even test driven yet (later today) but hopefully all goes well.
It needs a cambelt change (price negotiated accordingly) and a good detail session. A few deepish scratches on the (non-sunroof) roof and boot lid may need professional attention, so I will take it to a bodyshop that deals with ally panel repairs for an opinion. Panels are otherwise straight and true.
Gearbox overhauled 10k miles ago and whilst stationary at least, changes up and down seamlessly.
Does have the engine light displayed on the dash, believed to be a faulty lambda sensor as listed in the invoices, but will get the codes output to confirm if anything else.
Looks like a relatively standard spec'd car (I prefer 'lightweight'
) - not unattractive, to me at least!
Colour code is missing from options sticker - does this means it's a non standard colour?
Mot sheet mentioned a couple of times that the engine cover 'restricted access' or something along those lines - is this normal?
Mot also mentioned an oil leak - is there a usual spot for these engines to leak from ?
Latterly serviced by lespauls-audivw in Woodford, London, and by RA Engineering in Reading prior to that ( they also undertook the gearbox rebuild)
Finger crossed all goes well!
