She's the one paying for it and driving it yeah ?

Is a MINI out of the question insurance-wise ? I know I’m a broken record on this but they’re fun to drive and have way more character than a Polo. There’s loads of them about for your £4k budget.

I reckon a 17yo will ruin it, crash it, get bored with it and want something different inside 12 months, at which point it won’t be the 1-owner mint example you paid a premium for and you’ll wish you’d bought a “normal” one for half the price.

Part numbers on the ballasts need to match, I fitted a new ballast to one side of my cayenne turbo and had the same fault, lots of researching all pointed at the same problem that you need matching part numbers and to replace ballasts in pairs. I was thinking of you when I wrote it ! Have you still...

I really like that.

So did somebody else - I tried to arrange a viewing yesterday but it’s already sold.

And a ten dimensional fifteen sided number plate I hope ?

Same... I wouldn't have been brave enough to choose it myself, but I could live with it.

Or just do the job properly and get a Turbo. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256454504073 Coincidentally from the same place I got my Q7. It’s a low-rent operation but the guy was very straight to deal with and I got a full refund when it proved uneconomical for him to replace the cracked rear brake disc...

Not recent, but I got a couple of packs of Costco own-label plain white ones years ago and they’ve been good. Nice and long with a slim-ish fit.

So the electrics are fucked then Fair play to the seller, I got a very quick reply: One says front light is not working but it is. The other one is linked to air suspension sensor but again nothing is wrong. All been checked out and diagnosed by Graham reader garage and it’s just went through it’s ...

I really don’t know. These cars are generally pretty tough. Suspension fault maybe. Engine light should be an MOT fail ? I’m going to have to ask.

Kinda want. A Cayenne GTS to replace my non-GTS. It’s the same colour so I could probably swap it over without the wife noticing :lol: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/166667577686 HOWEVER big red flag in the description: “ The car has 2 warning lights shown but these have been fully investigated by Graha...

Not sure if joking ;) Real answer is that it’s his MOD civilian grade, B2 being approximately equal to Colonel in responsibility.

BEWARE THE IDES OF MARKS !

I can't say I've ever tried it, but can you really re-tax your car when the existing tax hasn't run out ? I'd always rather assumed it needs to be SORNed or already expired or else "computer says no" because it doesn't need taxing. Yes - I followed the above process this morning. Mrs mik'...

It's not road tax, and hasn't been for a very long time.
