Default sorry just saying

a neighbor across from had one
it was nothing but trouble
always had the bonnet up
he asked me to drive it once to see if i knew what was wrong
miss-firing it was
absolutely drank fuel
no thankyou...

here you go bet you could haggle this for £10,000
and its the better engine the A8 never got

Not such good news as I've now purchased it ( I bloody hope your not right ). We have done a few miles today and it drives lovely very pleased with the way it goes and sounds. Nearly as smooth as the 8 !

Once I tried to start it and the starter motor seemed to spin but didnt turn the engine. Tried again and it was fine. Hopefully the solenoid is sticky as it hasn't been used much in the last few years.
