Off topic Stephen, but the 18" sport wheels will fit you FL S8. You just need 8mm spacers up front. I have a set with my track tyres on. A 16mm wider track up front also helps with the under steer. Or is that the very sticky tyre compound!

Cheers Mike , very helpful. My current winter tyres are about to come off for this year (at long last....), but this is definitely one to consider for later in the year. Hopefully it'll be at least 5/6 months before the summer tyres have to come back off again!

All,

Thanks for your input regarding this issue. I have yet to purchase a multimeter due to this issue sorting itself out!

Who ever stated that the battery may be the issue I think may be correct. I had a feeling this A8 was sitting for a long time before I purchased it and indeed battery level may have been low. I have now used the car every day and hopefully given the battery some charge.

I have only had the issue twice in the last month or so now very much reduced.

Thanks to all who helped me out
