Hi Oli,
It's not so much what the previous plate of the silver 8 was. I just wonder what car was previously registered to L10 NWP.

I though I would post my final findings. . .
It seems that all the problems started with the private plate which is registered to the car. The previous car the plate was registered to was a PF A8 with an earlier DTD gearbox (which happened to be on Audi's system) and so the incorrect filter was ordered. New filter fitted (correct version with the shorter pick up tube) with fresh Mobil ATF and it's running beautifully smooth, as it should be.

Thank you very much Oli. It feels good to get it running properly again. Just an unfortunate coincidence with the private plate. Still a few more bits to do service wise.
I have actually managed to find time to re-finish the wood trim in gloss black which really has transformed the interior. There have been a couple of threads on carbon wrapping but not gloss black. I shall start a new thread in the interior section once I have sorted the photos. How are things with your 8?

Pleased to hear all is well!
I have the issue of wrong parts from the registration number all the time, even though I've had the registration on the current S8 for 2 years and the previous car with that registration plate was also a 2002 S8! Before that (4 years or more?) it was on my 2.8 A8 and before that on my A6. If they can't keep the database accurate, why don't they use the chassis number?
