Porsche Emissions Now?

Does anyone seriously think that Porsche didn't use the same cheats that the rest of the group were using????It's no surprise, and would suggest that even Porsche had not solved the problem of engineering a reliable and efficient diesel that complied with emissions standards. I like big diesels, and...

Start/stop not working

What is "Maneuvering mode" referred to in the list of conditions above?I find it annoying that stop/start sometimes kicks in when I am manoeuvring e.g. 3 point turn. The system appears to detect the degree of pressure applied to brake pedal and possibly the amount of steering lock applied. I find I ...

Anyone else have a wobbly seat?

We have 14 way seats. Not sure if this is any help but . . . .Although we hadn't experienced any wobbling of seats (possibly because of very gentle driving for first 2000 miles or so?), the first time I was vacuuming the interior I noticed something odd stuck between the passenger seat and the trans...

Drivers behaviour

It's not necessary to be "old" to be an "old duffer" LOL


I think I'm reassured. Back to cars? When is a Macan "old"?

Drivers behaviour

Not the boring club; the "Victor Meldrew" club of a few old duffers who don't like slipping standards but love cars!I sit here cowering at the impending outcry that nobody is an old duffer  Can I be an old duffer at 'just' 51...?!   Agree with the rest though!    "...who don't like slipping s...

Drivers behaviour

Should there be a comma after 'outdated'? Not before but...Any insomniacs looking for a cracking good read could do worse than picking up a copy of The Complete Plain Words by Sir Earnest Gowers. Page 155 et seq has 10 pages devoted to use of commas, and includes reference to a further work which ex...

Drivers behaviour

My first Wife worked for a University and regularly had to correct students application forms because they could not spell their own names correctly and the towns and cities where they lived was just a plain guess.

At last... A build slot

Well done all those with a quick delivery. I paid my deposit for a petrol S in October last year, was initially told it would be here in May this year (I've even seen paperwork to that effect, but it was for a diesel). Eventually told it should be September, then tat slipped and finally given a lock...

Will it fit Easily ...

Hi again, So the garage is 2110 at the skinniest point. This is from the floor up to about 60cm high where there is some trim to catch the door as it closes. At wing mirror height its 2140 as per ScotMac's. The car would in theory fit without folding in the mirrors but I'll not risk that. Took some...

Accident, advice please

Your insurance policy will almost certainly require you to notify your insurer of the incident. Part of what you pay your insurer for, aside from putting you back in the position you were in prior to an accident, as far as this is possible, is to deal with third parties and resolve liabilities. They...
