A8 advice
Been toying with the idea of binning my company car (currently Honda Accord ES GT Tourer) due to HMRC raping and pillaging me for exorbitant amounts of tax.
I do mainly motorway miles between North Manchester and London but need a decent load carrier as we have 2 year old twins, for the times they are in my car so was thinking of a big old cruiser such as A8 or 7 series. So my question is does anyone have any experience of the A8 3.0TDI around a 05/06 plate? Ta in advance Andy ..

I too would be interested to hear about the D3 A8 diesels. Quite tempted by the 4.2tdi to replace my Octavia vRS (very different beasts I know!) but at less than £8k for a sub 100k 4.2 tdi I'm very tempted!

That's what caught my eye, seems a lot of car for very little money. I know of expensive horror stories on the S8's but the 3.0 & 4.2 Diesels never seem to prompt tales of woe and huge garage bills.
