A bit of googling (not procrastinating, promise), suggests that the InControl gizmo (including the tracker) runs of a separate eSIM to the infotainment, and that it only switched to 4G from 2018 onwards. Interesting. So the questions will be - does the eSIM fall back to 2G if there’s no 3G, and whi...

It pings up at 3pm to remind you to stop and have a scone

It must be the mobile network, can't see there's anything else they can use at a reasonable cost. I would ask about the 3G (could in theory be 2G). I’ll have to ask. If it is just a matter of transmitting the GPS coordinates every couple of minutes then the data volume is tiny and I guess it could ...

Headlining is leather. Sun visors are leather on the side you see when they’re up, alcantara on the other side. Secondary visors are alcantara. Dash is leather. Doors are leather top half, plastic lower half. A, B, C, D pillars are plastic. I’ve no idea if this is standard but honestly, it’s far too...

Most. English. Thing. Ever.

In the index of the hand book:

Maybe a dumb question - how do trackers work, do they use the mobile phone network ? I’ve never had one. Now that I’ve set up all the accounts you need, RR have sent me an email about renewing the tracker subscription. It actually still has a month to run, I didn’t realise when I bought it, that wou...

Would it have been an option or part of an extended leather (or similar) package? Does sound a bit stingy given what it would have cost new. Quite possibly, I’ve not looked. There’s lots of leather elsewhere and it’s all very lovely. I’m not disappointed with the car ! Another area - inside the doo...

And a Bentley is a step up again ! To vaguely attempt an apples & apples, the current RR starts at £100k. The current Bentayga is £170k, current Spur is £175k.

I am not getting a Bentayga, they’re hideous.

Headlining yes, pillars no. As I said, I was surprised. Even the Cayenne is fabric to match the headlining, not bare plastic.

P.S. how’s the Aston shopping going ?

Hope you get it home fast so it can be among even more cars than in the picture. Excellent, good looking interior too. It should be a terrific place to while away the miles. Let us know how the first drive pans out. Thank you. It ended up being delivered last night. It’s been to Tesco (fuel) & ...

£2k ???

Prosecuting, Caroline Knight told how Mrs Stallard then began discussing her personal life - when her husband seemed to drift off.

We've all been there.

Thank you :D That plus a pale interior and Panasonic (sic) roof makes it super-airy. It might end up being a greenhouse come summer though. guessthecar2017rangeroversdv8autobiographyedition2.jpg Speaking of typos, another car I saw advertised had a cracking one. It didn't have bi-xenon headlights. O...

That's absolutely appalling. My E46, and long before that my wife had an E87 118d, both were very good. Even my 740d would do mid-forties mpg on the motorway.

EE have turned off 3G and my car doesn’t have 4G - looks like it was the 2018 update (with touchscreen climate like GG’s) that got 4G. Very very late 2017 I guess. Mine was actually built in late 2016, delivered Jan 2017. So I’ve just been out to Argos and bought the 3 prepaid SIM. That’ll do until ...

OK, cool. It's able to connect to my home wifi if I park it right by the lounge window so I guess it should be able to connect to a phone (or standalone) hotspot. I'll try it at lunchtime.

Put some time into this today, stuck a pre paid 12 month SIM card in and this lets the car connect online so you get satellite imagery in maps, speed cameras, traffic, iPhone remote connectivity and opens up a whole new section in the infotainment with a web browser and flight tracker. This looks i...

Ah, afraid not. It's a 2007 4.8 S.

Oh really ? I just happen to have a Cayenne that needs to be sold fairly soon ! Can I tempt you ?
