Default I'm back!

Last night, straight after work, and pretty much unplanned, I got in the D4 and headed to London to pick up what would become my new A8, it was a non-starter, and after throwing around £1,800 at it, the current owner had decided enough was enough, so here begins operation ‘save a D2 from the scrappy’.

Although it isn’t starting, here are the plus points.

- High spec for a PF, Bose, Solar, Front and rear heated and electric seats, blinds, there might be more, like Servo (if it were around then), but I’ve not had a chance to drive it or a proper look.
- Audi history up to 185k miles, the cambelt was also done then at Docklands Audi (now on 191k).
- 60 Miles since last MOT, which cost the owner £800 to make her pass, new suspension arms etc…
- New gearbox
- New Bosch battery

Having to leave the key in what looked like one of the dodgier parts of London, in the middle of the night with the key on top of the wheel was a little unsettling but thankfully, when I woke up this morning I was pleasantly surprised. The AA had parked it outside and put the keys through the letterbox. Perfect. They knew I had work (hence not staying with the car, and didn’t want to wake me).
I’ll start a separate thread with regards to the starting issue, but for now, I just wanted to introduce her to you guys, and share the joy!
Only photo I have as I pulled up to see it yesterday…
