[V8] It's Home!

I thought the safety catch-release was part of the audi rings in the grille.

Try lifting up on the hood after you've pulled the inside cable.  A small 
portion of the rings should protrude and that releases the safety.

Glad you got it home - good luck chasing all the little problems.

  Thanks for the shorter belt info.  Yeah, I'm hoping nothing seized
up.
  But it's not my first Audi, so I shouldn't be surprised at whatever
it
  will throw at me. Not that I'll be happy, just not surprised.
  
  Save me the search... Where is the under-hood latch release?
