Talking Result
Ive had a busy day on the S8 I've replaced all of the Air hoses as they were all perished and split causing the engine management light to come on !!!! It was supposed to had the fault sorted weeks ago (APPARENTLY)!!!!!! but I've sorted it now . I also noticed I needed two rear tyres . I got a great deal £45 each for two pirelli winter tyres they still have all the coloured lines on them they must of come off a brand-new motor well chuffed
