NB spotting on the bonnet and roof is simply rainwater !

Sorry, I didn't come back here earlier, as I've been away and a little ill. Price now reduced to £1700.

Hi All, Just a short note that I've posted my A8 for sale in the Audi's for sale section and would like to refer you to those Forum pages if you're looking for a D2

310 BHP 4.2 V8, 5 Valves /cylinder! 133,000 miles Climate Control, Fast & Efficient Heated Seats front and rear, very toasty indeed Double Glazing throughout - (shhh, it's really quiet in there) SatNav (needs a new disk as the 2001 disc is out of date). (I use Waze so didn't bother) I purchased this with 120,000 miles on it as a temporary stop-gap in July 2018 when my 2001 E39 BMW went in for some major works and wouldn't be ready for a planned holiday with my adult kids. The intention was to sell on the A8 after the holiday. Instead, it's impressive and effortless performance and comfort beguiled me so much I kept it and it's shared daily driving duties with my 535 ever since. Now, a change in my job scenery and a brand new company lease car have caused space issues so rather regretfully letting go. The car has a full service history up to 2015 - but not all Audi, and this checks out with DVLA data and statements from the previous owner. In my stewardship, the car has had the following works completed: A new set of Pirelli's (July 2018, now + 13000 miles) New engine RPM sensor New all-in-one cruise control and indicator stalk New after-market steel mesh exhaust flexi-couplings, which at £50 (£25 a pop) plus £80 labour for the pair beat Audi's £1550 quote! (Can do the aftermarket items every 4-5 years and it will never be painful). Nearside & Offside Upper Front suspension arms Nearside & Offside Upper Rear suspension arms Nearside Lower Front Control Arm Nearside Track-rod End Nearside & Offside Front Drop-links Offside Front upper suspension arm In-Tank Fuel Pump All 4 brake calipers All 4 discs and pads It's 19 years old so has a few marks but nothing untoward, and I have replaced some major suspension and brake issues. It's fairly well sorted for the next decade. Please message me to view. Bring your insurance certificate and schedule if you wish to test drive it, else only I will drive. Please call me on 07969 122 191 to arrange.

Hi Gaz, I had exactly the same myself on my D2 4,2 about a year ago. Up to then the Cruise control was a bit lumpy in operation (It's not easy to use on the stalk and I would have preferred steering wheel buttons). Then one day the indicators stopped working which made the car illegal to drive. The indicators themselves were not at fault, since the lights still worked on the Hazard Button. My options were to replace with a simple indicator stalk and forget the cruise control, or replace the whole cruise control/indicator stalk. I chose the latter. My go to garage was 'The Mobile Garage People' based behind the BP service station on Melton Road in Queniborough (just to the North of Syston, Leicester). Michael who runs the place did a fantastic job and got it sorted really quickly, and yes I do believe there was some sort of coding to the car that had to be done, but don't quote me on that. The advantage with Michael will be that he's done the job at least once (on my car) and his pricing is in the very reasonable category. I do believe I got the last one in stock in the UK (at that time) and I can't remember whether Michael sourced it from Audi or from German Car Parts. It's worth a call to him and you can quote my name to him. He can be reached on 0800 859 5306.
