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 ?

a 1979 Porsche 924... I see your 1979 Porsche 924 and raise you a 1984 Porsche 924 Lux. And a Caravan. A V6 Peugeot 406 to tow the caravan :lol: A Discovery 3. A Hot Tub. A Mane to make the Dog look like a Lion. A Didgeridoo (not signed by Rolf). I think that's the ones I got in the most trouble fo...

Is it mega money to insure it? I didn't get a brand new policy, I swapped the existing Smart policy over to this so I don't have an exact figure, I think it's equivalent to about £1200pa. The policy renews in July so I'll do the proper meerkat at that point. If you email me VIN I can get you full s...

As far as I know it’s not broken, just high miles: 135k. But drives beautifully, is one owner from new, and has been serviced on time every year. It also has the correct OEM Pirelli tyres all round with loads of tread. Seems like a car that’s been looked after. It’s being delivered tomorrow with an...

Half right

Well that didn't last long

New car game. What kind of silver 2017 Range Rover 4.4 SDV8 Autobiography did I buy today ??

What trim level was the one you looked at? I would also try and get the Vogue SE with the soft fold doors if your wife/kids/MIL are anything like mine - its has saved opening and re-closing a not fully closed door approximately 3.6million times in the last two years :lol: It was an Autobiography. T...

It's very deliberate - my surname begins with a W

I have quite a lot of Teng stuff and it’s good.

They do indeed appear to be 5/16”:

No, the first items are 8mm hex (5/16” ?)

Both of the things you have pictured are standard 1/4” drive ?

We'll never know.

Oh no. What a shame.

Incidentally, on the way there, at one of the big roundabouts near here there were some crusty protesters with "less solar more real farms" placards. I didn't realise anti-solar was a subset of environmental issues ? Anyway, I considered shouting "GET A FCUKING HAIRCUT, HIPPY" bu...

Drinks less than the 120d and 320d courtesy cars he’s had despite its size. They were broken or he was ragging them senseless. The 120d especially should do 60+mpg without breaking a sweat. Even my old E46 320td would do 60mpg and that was without any modern tech. And it had over 200k miles on it.

Bentley provisionally sold, to be collected some time next week. Fcuking cars. I fcuking hate cars sometimes. I knew I shouldn't have posted anything until it had actually gone ! I'd agreed a sale on the Bentley but needed to replace the front air springs as one had started leaking - bloody typical...

Beany is correct.

I think so. Rightly or wrongly I think of them as semi-professional, a step up from DIY grade. @V8Granite is my tool guru, I'd appreciate his opinion on this

This is my front runner atm:

Never tried one, but the 150mm low-height would put me off (and the 400mm fully-raised height isn’t that impressive either). I meant in addition to a regular jack, not instead of. Times where you need to jack something in the middle of the car and don't have room to crank a normal jack handle up &a...
