Re: EV Thread
Looking at replacing Mrs Holley's i3 as almost had it 6 years and done 83k. Battery warranty runs out at 100k miles and is a mild concern. Although she loves it, this long period of windy days has reminded her how rubbish it is in crosswinds on dual carriageways. Looked at all the potentials (has t...
Re: BBQs
Dancook do a load of variable height grills. I've had one and it lasted 10 years outside with no cover and my mate has had a couple forever for kebabs/tepenyaki .
They are great but pretty specific in what they can do though.

Re: Your fleet running reports
There can’t be that many conventional cars needing £6k of engine work at 30k and under 4 years old. There's not many EVs that do either. Undoubtedly that motor could be repaired/refurbed but as with my E46 M3 gearbox the manufacturer replaced it at a cost of nearly 10k. It was 4yr old and done 40k ...

Re: Test drive report
I always felt my 996 was benign on 255 tyres. Perhaps the higher levels of grip from bigger tyres meant you are travelling much quicker requiring a greater level of skill to explore.

Re: Test drive report
With a massive amount of experience (probably 100 miles between them) the 997 felt far more flat and less playful than the 996. What about a good 996 Turbo, although the turbo running costs are a step up from a regular Carrera. Dave! The scourge of massive wheels and tyres that fell upon us in the ...

They still do a non turbo triple (MPI) and my son has one in his Ibiza. 80bhp as opposed to 95bhp and up for the TSI.

Re: Harry’s Garage
I looked at a couple in 2005 when I bought my E46 M3 for £17,500.
£15k would have bought a decent C2 and £25k would have bought an RS
They all leaked oil and few had air conditioning so never going to be as usable daily!

Re: BYD are taking over EVs
I think I've mentioned this before. I worked in a motorcycle shop from the age of 11 until way after I had a proper job and the whole business timeline is repeating itself! European and US car manufacturers think they have the market sown up and are too big to fail, same as the motorcycle industry i...

Re: FTAO EV owners - possible action required before end of March-24
BMW have just started selling a Mini Cooper SE with a 54kw battery and 215hp.
These are developed versions of the 42kw and 185hp motor and battery from the defunct i3s.
Daft as I expect they could have had another few years from the i3 platform with those updates!

You used to need a licence to store more than 30 litres and that may be less in our nanny state now.

Re: Selling Cars Privately
Slight topic twist, which of the dealer options is best/easiest to deal with? FiL is wanting to sell his car (62 plate Mk6 Golf Match 1.4TSi DSG w/70k miles) as he'll probably have to give up driving due to health issues. Either way it is a second car that spends most days sat unused in front of th...
