See also those car storage warehouses - “central London location” and then you see they’re very much no in central London.

Early ones suffered from snapped crankshafts but that seems to be more of a 2.7l and Land Rover problem, later Jaguar fitted ones seem to not suffer from that. Biggest problem seems to be oil dilution due to DPF cycles - I found a thread with a guy moaning about having to get his oil changed every 2...

Yeah, I've read a few buying guides on various forums about these, consensus is that it's a normal thing and no XJ ever came perfect :lol: https://www.jaguarforum.com/threads/whats-up-with-the-misaligned-bonnet-and-fender-on-so-many-x-351s.138049/ Also, apparently it weighs only 1800kg in diesel for...

I think it’s a limp mode on newer BMWs but also one of those stupidly vague messages which could mean anything from a fuel filler cap not fitted correctly to the engine being close to grenading itself. Used to get it on the i3 whenever it broke an engine mount.

Very caramel and toffee. Don't like the rear screens (always looks naff), but the rest is rather lovely. More Worthers Original if you ask me. I thought it looked like it folds away and hides everything unlike other cars and it does looking on google images. https://images.drive.com.au/caradvice/im...

2026 regulations sound awful, essentially the cars will be like BMW i3s with range extenders at full chat all the time. https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/newey-monaco-example-shows-why-f1-2026-will-be-a-strange-formula/10597235/ As Newey says, this is what happens when you let the clueless marketing...

Now called the Junior. Which is also stupid, perhaps even worse considering the original Alfa Junior was so iconic and this is just a turd.

I have received pictures. 1 owner, 11,000 miles, “not a blemish on it” https://i.ibb.co/TqsmR7R/vehicles-large-5842672-8338-316-vehicle-5842672-008-20240402-042537-c221b2d51775f7afeb8a42f55fec5c57.jpg https://i.ibb.co/wRfN9Dc/vehicles-large-5842672-343-8883-vehicle-5842672-013-20240402-042543-ea7b95...

He's put a deposit down on a diesel XJ in deepest darkest North England. Beige exterior, with beige interior and wooden steering wheel. :shock: I have been requested to give him a "quick lift" to Middlesbrough sometime this weekend to check that the car isn't a lemon. FFS. That has "...

I have been requested to give him a "quick lift" to Middlesbrough Lol, I'm in Leeds and even I don't consider Middlesbrough to be a 'quick lift' sort of journey :lol: I get that from time to time from my MIL - Sunday afternoon around 15:30 to 16:00. "Would I mind popping down to Plai...

Just looked at the train, 2 return tickets from Folkestone will cost ...£424.40 Or £350.00 from St Pancras.

The logistics of this are challenging as I'll arrive at Heathrow airport at 8pm on Friday.

My dad was moaning about this yesterday. The top spec Audi A8 is called the black edition, which results in the exterior being blacked out and interior mostly in all black. Different colour interior doesn't help as it only changes the seats and the red/cognac leather options don't work very well so ...

I’m suddenly craving a Maltesers ice cream.

Presumably that's including mirrors?

Hilarious, just read that it's in trouble in Italy over false advertising and misleading consumers because it's called the Milano but made in Poland. They have a law directly targeting stuff like that. Also noticed in this larger pic that it's front grill appears to have fallen off. https://www.auto...

It looks like a Renault to me.
The recent Alfa SUVs are neither popular with Joe public nor the Alfa fanboys. And I think the making a SUV because that’s what everyone wants boat has long sailed as that segment of the market is now saturated as seen by the Toenail sales.

I’ve had a very non-dangerous beer today because I was using a chainsaw and driving afterwards. https://i.ibb.co/LJ2ZmWx/IMG-0203.jpg I haven’t had a 0% beer in a years, this was alright and had an ice tea aftertaste. But I don’t think I’d call it beer - more of a soft drink. Meh, will just buy a co...

Leclerc and Sainz. The latter finally driving well now that he’s got the boot, should have done that from day 1.

Might as well add the Model 3 woes to this, its motor doesn’t seem long for this world as I suspect the rear motor has damaged one of its main internal bearings. It has another 25,000 miles of warranty left so hopefully it will grenade soon but as it is Tesla say that “drivetrain noises are part of ...
