Re: What a tool.............. (new vehicle, as requested)

Lovely car, really nice. I nearly bought a CT two years ago....... As a lifelong petrol head I love the sound of a great engine but strangely I also loved the sound of silence in the Taycan. Almost other worldly as you slide silently out of car parks etc and then boot it up the road, also in silence...

Re: Macan Gen 3 Full Screen Apple CarPlay Modification

On Friday I asked Siri to navigate to a destination and was told he couldn’t do that while I was driving!! :(

My Navara passed numerous MoTs with slight cracking on the shoulders of the Goodyear A/Ts. I eventually changed them recently at 12 years old purely on the basis of age.

Re: Insurance shock

Looks like we both had a good outcome this year, Nick. I still admire every Defender 90 that I see! :) Yes, true Simon, it seems NFU aren’t fleecing customers quite as much as some companies are. I’m still happy with the Defender, love its appearance and love driving it, also still loving the V8 so...

Re: Insurance shock

Getting back on topic…….just had my renewal letter from NFU for the Defender, up 33% from last year’s £536 so not too bad given the horror stories and better than I was fearing. Price comparison sites no better, most much higher, so will be sticking with NFU. Looks like we both had a good outcome t...

Re: Interesting Video About Car Thefts

I’m usually highly sceptical about this sort of video. How did he find and persuade the ‘car thief’ to appear in the video? Driving around with a guy in a balaclava in the front passenger seat? Apparently stealing a Range Rover from a supermarket car park, no doubt with CCTV everywhere, and then dri...

He's already told us the transfer case has been replaced, viewtopic.php?p=288556#p288556, but hasn't said anything about the clicking noise so far.
