Re: 21" too big?

7C192945-EDFA-4E84-AD7A-3D91829313C6.jpeg Tyres on their rims should be stored flat, not standing as in your photo. Is there reason why they are to be stored flat? Mine are on a wheel rack so I can’t store it flat due to space. Wheel racks are better than standing, but not perfect. Storing flat avo...

Re: Is this True?

The previous owner will have had a refund of their outstanding tax so it’s worth checking how long the dealer will tax it for.

If buying from Cardiff, as the OP suggests, I would expect them to be pretty fair to deal with. They are are part of the Dick Lovett group which does have a good reputation.

Re: Is this True?

A set of rubber floor mats for winter perhaps?

As goron says, not likely to get much else. These cars are in high demand particularly with the factory shutdown, so the dealer isn’t spinning you a yarn.

Re: Macan upgrades and modifications

What mods/ upgrades have people done both in terms of performance (engine/ exhaust/ induction/ ECU/ gearbox, etc) or bodywork improvements? Anyone carried out a re-map? Chris I haven't, but some have: https://www.macanforums.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=7307&p=152779&hilit=chip#p152779 Di...

Re: Its hell out there

When I was working I had to use the M6 from Birmingham to Manchester about once a month. I had to allow an extra hour for the journey to make sure I arrived in time for meetings. Those trips made me realise that there are numerous collisions on the M6 every day. When I worked in the US for a time it...

Re: Mr JWW buys a Macan Turbo Performance Pack

Re: Dangerous Roads - map

Very patchy data. Anyway, it isn’t the roads that are dangerous, it’s the people that use them!

You’ll find much more accurate data here - https://www.crashmap.co.uk/Search
