This has nothing to do with Porsche but a friend of mine called the NFU for a quote and they told her they are no longer accepting Range Rovers due to the high levels of theft. Hmmm I can see a lot of farmers being miffed. I don’t know if that’s for existing cars on renewal but it is for new applic...

Takes a while, i think the main task for it is to recognise which wheel is where, no idea how it does that though.

As an aside am I right in thinking Mobil 1 A40 is the correct grade for Gen I petrol S?
