I’m confused at 2 points: at which press of the unlock button do you push it more than once; and do you press it twice for the second key as you obviously ...
Re: Menu Knob
Just wondering if you’ve made the same mistake that I did when I got my first ‘8. You have to push the rectangular button labelled ‘menu’ to bring up the menu in the DIS, before the knob will work. Or perhaps it’s just me that’s this stupid!

Re: Audi Tradition parts and more!
Dean has done a great job of finding me parts that I can’t get in the UK, both from Audi Tradition and elsewhere. Great service - would recommend highly!

Re: Visual Headlight Comparison

Re: Gearbox service time
Just a quick point on the cost of a ZF gearbox service. I have had at least 6 done on my S8 at Mackies, south of Glasgow. The last one, in September 2023, cost £185 plus VAT. My car has over 200K miles on the original gearbox; I’m convinced the regular services have contributed to this.
