Good god, have you ever tried to decide what drill bits to buy without having any personal experience to go on? I swear every single set no matter what the price or brand will have several people saying they’re great, and others saying they’re terrible 😂 Have you ever asked a forum what oil you sho...

Metalers are so angry and full of hate.

Rob Halford (Judas Priest) wishes everyone a happy Easter:

Another kinda want. V10 Phaeton. LWB with the split rear seats is very cool but engine out for turbo replacement is a mission and the KESSY (keyless entry & start) problem points to water damage. I know mine’s been replaced already. Not insurmountable but likely a pain to track down. https://www...

This is just one of the large overheads you have to expect on a Bentley

A bit tight on headroom there eh ?

Ouch.

I don't get it. Why's the bidding already over £5k (+fees) ? The 4.5 litre engine in these is not very reliable, it's a horrible colour, and it's not even low mileage or particularly good condition. Was it owned by an "influencer" ?

I finally fixed the passenger leccy seat in the Bentley. Both sides went a bit weird a while back and although the driver's side worked again after a reset the passenger one did not. Seeing as I do not use the passenger seat while driving :lol: this was not a big deal but we're planning another road...

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...
