2003 D2 FL S8. Irish Green Pearl/Beige. Solar sunroof, auto-dim mirrors, electric rear seat functions and extended leather. Ski hatch retrofit. Aftermarket reversing camera. DVB-T and XCarlink now removed as redundant.
2016 Volvo V40 T5 Cross Country (4WD) with ALL the toys including adaptive cruise etc. etc. Osmium Grey with Blonde/Charcoal leather interior. Polestar performance "optimisation". (Even rarer than a D2 S8!) Oh, and a brand new engine at just under 30,000 miles on the factory one!
Finally: gone, but not forgotten.....
1998 D2 PF S8. Agate Grey/Platinum. Every option (I think) except electric rear seats, Tiptronic steering wheel, ski hatch, towbar & dimming door mirrors.
e.g. Cruise control, NavPlus/TV, Bose, GSM, Xenons, Solar roof, Parking sensors, Alcantara/leather everywhere of course. (internal dimming mirror added later)
1998 (very early) Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec; ABS/TCS, Heated screen/mirrors, Aircon. Added Auto-dim mirror, Leather seats, Trip computer, Cruise control, OEM Ford SatNav with CD changer.
And before that a lot of Rover 800s, a few oddities, a lovely Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Overdrive and way back in my schooldays an Austin Seven aka Mini 850!

Ah, should have read more carefully.
Was the USA one an Audi original part, or if not, is it working fine?
I'll be needing another one for the current S8, no harm in saving some money

Yes, found it on eBay. Works fine.
Plenty available in US (and some in Germany), you just need to look carefully at the shipping and (for US) customs charges.

It's unlikely to do any damage - in fact I can't think how it could? We drove our A6 around like it for a while after we'd identified the cause and were waiting for parts too

Thank you
I'm not technical at all - so just for my peace of mind really
The car I've borrowed has to go back at week-end and part isn't due til Monday - so making sure a short week-end drive won't do any harm
