LWB compared to the Civic maybe !

And reversing is easier - you use your mirrors and can see exactly how much space you have either side.

Touch it.

It's just easier reversing in. And safer. Reversing out into the traffic flow you have very reduced visibility, the same reason the highway code tells you not to reverse out from a side road. 201 Do not reverse from a side road into a main road. When using a driveway, reverse in and drive out if yo...

Have you got an insurance quote? I think with the V8 diesel I’d be willing to run the reliability gauntlet. Not on this particular one, but when we had the thread about it I tried running a quote on something similar and Admiral - who have covered me very reasonably on the 360 & 996 - declined ...

It’s a shame the insurance has gone so wild on range rovers, this would suit me nicely. I guess that’s why they’re so cheap.

“STUTTGART EDITION”

Also not a real thing.

Until 2017, the Cayenne was built in Leipzig, about 300 miles from Stuttgart. It’s now built at the VW plant in Bratislava. It’s not even built in Germany.

Cayenne air suspension compressor seems to have died. Cheapie Chinese replacement is very affordable at just over £100 so I’ll get one ordered. I used similar quality cheapie air springs on the Touareg and they were totally fine so hopefully this will be too.

I believe it had MOR origins...

And from MOR, he then went to garage !

You can adjust your tax code yourself, online. I did both mine & my wife’s late last year. She was due a refund and it came through very quickly.

Not a vehicle spotting, a personal encounter today. I took the Ferrari out on an errand and while standing there waiting a very nice French chap approached me and complimented me on the car. I get very embarrassed and modest when this happens so I turned the conversation around to him, asked him wha...

And this gives me an opportunity to post my favourite joke:


Q: Why do women wear makeup and perfume ?

A: Because they’re ugly & they smell.

She wanted a shopping spree in boodles a couple of days ago and now this ? I agree with the bullet dodging.

And didn’t you recently relocate for her benefit ? Or did I imagine that ?

More fundamentally, this is a car forum and those aren’t cars. If we’re doing “things our employer provides in order for us to do our job” there’s going be all kinds of crap on this list.

Bravo to the chyron person

Which reminds me - I spotted the reg JAG 5 today. On a Range Rover.

Yes. I’ve already done a moaning thread on this supposed “AI”.

I was wondering what music he likes.

I heard he loves a little underground house.

And that is precisely why I included the word "asking" rather than implying that £37k *is* the bottom ;) I've no idea of the real value. There's several far better cars for sale in the low forties price bracket that aren't moving so yeah. This needs to be closer to £30k or broken for parts.

Hard no on all of those


This will be rough as anything, an ex-Everyman Racing driving experience car, but it's the cheapest 360 I've seen, so that's where the bottom of the market is now: asking £37k.
