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: Perishing Tyres

How old are the tyres Simon? Exposure to strong sunlight doesn’t help but premature perishing might be worth enquiring via a Michelin dealer.

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.

Re: Macan T ... going through some personal touches

I think it's refreshing to read threads like these rather than the usual 'what do you think of my new car spec?' or ' what colour shall I go for?' Definitely needs lowering. Does it have PASM? Bilstein do a kit which will lower it and I think h&r might do lowering springs. Not sure about Kw? Or...
