Been tempted by my neighbors A8.

'03 100,000 but he drives it so slow. He's stuck 60k on it. He puts his foot down til 4k then backs off scared.

Does need a bit of work here and there but can get it bargain price.

4.2.

Only trouble is the GF deffo won't drive it and I need a van and not another car. So tempting though, could definitely make some money on it just I'd imagine and extremely limited market.

Why dont you just get something she likes or just get a van you tit.
This is very boring.

Tell you what, dont tell us what you want to get, buy something then show us what you bought.

I've bought it. Gotta sort a Range Rover out tomorrow which he's having off his sister. She's gotta sort what she's doing with her brand new autobiography the one that James May had, phenomenal car. Drove it Sunday, 4.2 turbo V8 derv. Bloody flies. Anyways it's riddled with problems so she wants to take it back and get a different one.

Once that's done me mate/neighbor can have the older Range and I can have the Audi. Could be Friday could be in a few weeks.

Pics tomorrow but either way it's mine!

Anyone know any good refurb specialists in Kent? Also needs a drivers window that's been shot at with an air rifle and the rear screen is starting to mist.

Rear light is cracked and allowing water in. I think it's literally cracked with age. £200 so going to try and bodge it basically. Superglue it, sand it down and then polish it up.

Already stuck new suspension arms all round on it a while back and refurbished the air suspension compressor. Wanna look into digitizing the TV signal and got three small things to sort paint wise. Two touch ups which will come out perfect and a rear valance.

Due it's next belt and auto gearbox oil change soon so they better be done.

The thing is pretty quick. Not exactly sporty but this is perfect for 6 months or so which will work out perfect for some sort of BMW. ME and the GF have our own house next year hopefully might as well have a ludicrous car while I can.

So comfy it's unreal. Get's off the line like an absolute rocket. Just a shame midrange feels so slow when you think it's a 4.2. The speedo says it's fast just doesn't feel it. Sounds nice as is but I wanna get one of those flap things for the exhaust whatever they're called. .

If I decide to keep it after 6 months it'll be S8 bits for it.

Ignoring the usual idiots, cracked on with repairing the rear light tonight. Will find out tomorrow when I'm gonna get it on a permanent basis.

To shed some light on it, I do the mechanical work for this firm, his sister is the boss. She bought him the A8 a few years back for 30k. She bought a brand new Range at the same time. Just bought the new one and I'm hoping as it was picked up yesterday it's sorted and she's happy!

The rear light was playing up, odd brake lights here and there and extremely dim.

That would be why:


Whole circuit board is covered a bit:


These deep cracks are actually raised on the lights and cracked right through. There was a breather on the rear and it was blocked. Wondering if condensation got hot and burst it, only explanation I can think off as it's all sealed perfect.

I can honestly say these cars make me feel ill.



So incredibly wobbly! Stick the suspension in lower mode and it rides REALLY nice but it lasts about 10 seconds til you get on a straight and the computer forces it back up. It's hideous!

Okay you can watch TV etc and it does go for the size/weight of the thing but the ride is horrible!
