Seems nobody wants A8s..... Though yours looks to be better than mine. One day they'll be worth something - S8s are on the up already. Nick

Nick I don't get it with these a8's there so much better built than the s class or big 7 of the time only down side i feel is a e38 had the fun factor these just do everything well if that makes sense but the 4.2 is the beat engine audi have ever made and the noise it makes is amazing

Interesting. The 4 speeds don't usually break - reckoned to be good for 300k, unlike the 5 speeds which are on borrowed time from 70k onwards unless they have an oil service done properly - and as Audi say they are sealed for (short) life....... ZF say 40k oil change interval!!
ABS light might just be dirty contacts on the main multiplug on the ABS pump. The other common fault is the wires from front ABS sensors breaking internally.
Looks like a pretty decent example - probably just as well you are in Manchester - senior management would kill me if I got another......
You could try putting it on the A8 Parts forum - there are guys on there who seem to like the older ones.

Ok, thanks. Will see if I can get one of the household FB users to figure that out!
Getting bored with random Gumtree users offering £300 unseen.....
