Re: INEOS Grenadier 4x4

I wonder if it will take much of the 'old style' Defender market? I like the new one, but it does look too fancy for the people that actually used them as intended.

Re: 4year service

I paid £956 (no gearbox oil) including the MOT last October, but had to say leave the AdBlue alone, to get it under a grand.

Re: Taycan Sport Turismo

Amazing how things move on. I remember the furore about the shift from air cooled to water cooled, well over 20 years ago and the difference in heritage/sound etc. Then there was the equally vocal "diesels have no place in a Porsche" debates, which Porsche eventually agreed with and now he...

Re: Horn

My first car, a 1967 Ford Anglia, had an air horn fitted. I swear it was more powerful than the engine?

Re: Real World Depreciation

Haven't sold mine, but based on Parkers and the usual £7k dealer mark up, I would expect to get £35k for it after 51 months and 28k miles, so that would equate to £705 ppm? Also 49-50% of cost.

Re: Macan S Diesel For Sale. 2017, Sapphire Blue

Have you tried Solihull or Tewkesbury OPC?

Re: interim service cost

Just to update, Porsche Solihull provided a Boxster T as a loaner and great fun was had in it to boot!

The Macan SD is a great car, but I'd forgotten how unlike a sports car it is.

This doesn’t seem to happen anymore, but I’m sure it is possible. I can remember this was part of a public information spot on TV, a lo...
