Hi all,

Firstly i want to say what a great site. This is my first post so please bear with me.

I have purchased an Audi A8 (2004) which is a dream and until recently seemed to be running fine. Then while driving the electrics on the dash start to go beserk and all lights were flashing (incl headlights/side lights), and the radio also cuts out. I pulled over and after a short wait restarted the car and all worked fine, until about a week later when the same thing happened again (most recently Fri 29 Aug).

Really worried as not sure what could be cause. I have taken a VAG scan and found various fault codes storted which i have listed below, but not sure what they all mean other than they all suugest some sort of electric problem> Can anyone see if they can see possible cause of problem and let me know how i can fix. Thank you all.
