Yes a few details 117 k miles with a fully stamped book, body colour is nautic blue metallic, with nautic blue leather, 16 inch bbs alloys, it has been in storage for a few years , so i have changed the thermostate and flushed the coolant, new temp sender, and oil/filter this week end with a plug change[denso], fuel filter,k/n air filter and some investigation in to a 2.5 bar oil pressure reading hot and cold ,no noise from the engine so i will change the sender, and then i think a cam belt change for good measure, oh and i have the gearbox dip stick and gasket on back order from audi, othe r than that it has been a lovely car to drive around in , been to glasgow and back already[live in shrewsbury],much quieter than my 200q avant

Hi Christopher,
Welcome! Is that the Shrewsbury in the neighbourhood, well, more or less, of Birmingham? Some 275 Miles to Glasgow then, one way.
regards, Eric

Dear Christopher, we've imported three Audi V8 from UK to Austria, all RHD, one 3,6 and two 4,2. One was from nearby Birmingham, from Wirksworth in Derbyshire, the other one was from Eastbourne in the south and one was from Ashford, Kent. Yep, from the home of the last Connolly factory Are you aware of http://www.classic-audi.co.uk/ ? Best regards Bastian

Hi Christopher
Yes, that would be mine. t's a long story that started started out easy.
Feel free to give me a pm, exchange numbers. I've got the US version of the maintenance manual, and have made blink cables for the codes for mine.
