Re: Roof Cleaning

I have always stood on the rear tyre when washing any of the SUVs I've owned. Any bits missed at the front I find I can reach from the front door tread plate. Rear wheel perching works for me too. Cheap, effective, quick and good proof of agility in "middle age". Until you lean too far an...

Re: Chirping noise on GTS

Does the sound disappear when idling in sport mode?

Re: Top Gear, Sunday 18/3/18

Love them or hate them, Clarkson, May & Hammond developed a real chemistry. They come across as three flatmates, three best buddies and drinking partners. The new TG guys just don't have that, there's an uncomfortable vibe between them that is toe-curlingly off-putting, even when the material is...

Re: Top Gear, Sunday 18/3/18

Pretty weak material, but I'm sure the original line-up would have made it more entertaining. Matt, Chris and Rory are still struggling in their wake.

Re: Where To Sell Your Macan?

Good plan, I'll plant that thought.

And apologies to the OP for the completely unwarranted Astra diversion.

Re: Where To Sell Your Macan?

An 06 Astra isn't worth north of 3k I'm afraid no matter what miles or condition are. I've gently made that point but he hasn't got to his grand old age without being stubborn, and right. Apparently, fhere's one on fleabay that's done twice as many miles and its £2k. And it's not as clean, apparent...

Re: Where To Sell Your Macan?

Yes, especially if it's in brown :oops: but with those miles and a sound history as long as sensibly priced it will be gone within a weekend. Its silver, which looks sort of unpainted to me but better than brown. WBAC says its worth £1700, he thinks its worth double that. There's nothing comparable...

Re: Where To Sell Your Macan?

You not buying it off your Dad then? ;) :lol: Mildly tempting as a learner for Noblekid but if its going to be driven by a teenager without a car cleaning obsession, better that happens a long way out of my dad's sight. And then there's that old saying - never sell a car to friends or family.

Re: Where To Sell Your Macan?

Private sales can bring up some real diamond cars with a bit of effort. Definitely. My dad took his 06 plate Astra for its MoT last week. It sailed through and the tester said 'so it should, its done 26,000 miles and only 1,500 in the last year, basically its as new'. So it confirmed what he was al...

Re: Porsche and Brexit

EU businesses that have significant trade with the UK, including car makers, want the same as most businesses here - as little change as possible to trading arrangements. Common sense. But for the leaders of the EU institutions, giving the UK a 'good' Brexit sends an undesirable message to other mem...
