The ebay thread

[Matty]

If you look at Collecting Cars bidders, nearly all of them have ticks with "has bought/sold multiple vehicles from us in the past" - you've also got TargaFlorio who bid on basically everything. Some even have ticks with "Bought 10+ Cars from us"

Just seems that most using the platform seem to be traders.

@RobYob this would be a good combo to the test for the effects of towing;

I like this colour combo (assuming it isn't grey inside);

Aerodynamically that looks terrible. And I’ve a nagging feeling I’ve posted it before.

[nuttinnew]

Yup, and quite possibly.

Only a few minutes away from me. I'll have a look if you're interested.

I might be interested myself! The home charger has failed after having a new meter installed earlier this week and we've got to drive nearly 200 miles today then about 550 tomorrow.

Thanks for the offer, I have too much stuff already though
The mot history isn't too bad but it runs out 22nd Jan. so might undo it being cheap. From the pics it looks unabused and tidier than many. DVLA lists it as beige.
Charger fail is a pita and that's a lot of miles to have to do in this weather. Good luck and safe travels.

Thanks. My wife said that the meter fitter made a comment about a clamp being fixed to a cable and that he hadn't seen it before. Found a post on an I-Pace forum last night that a clamp had been taken off and it was disconnecting to the charge. Checked the meter box this and this had been removed and he'd also broken the clip one side of the what is the CT clamp to control the power through the cable . Had to use electrical tape to keep it together so the metal contact on each side of the clamp are fixed and it's now working.

Might need a quick charger somewhere today but we'll at least have full charge when we leave tomorrow morning. This includes a 5am departure to collect our new puppy in Norfolk so extra stops aren't what's needed!

I’m convinced energy companies go out of their way to find some of the dumbest mother fuckers in the land to fit meters for them. The amount of gas leaks I’ve found on newly installed smart meters is unbelievable

Nothing that a dozen rolls of gaffer tape couldn't sort and increase the load space!

Needs the bendy bit out of a bendy bus to link them together

^ I'm looking at bendy bus bits but can't find the thing I saw before

I guess that's a good sign from a buyer's perspective isn't it? Means there must be good deals to be had. Not such a good sign for sellers.

The Touareg is a bit tempting, but I'm fairly sure that anyone who says "I have no ideal what it will need to pass an MOT" probably does and that's exactly why they're selling it....

I'm guessing one thing is it'll have a dash light on because of physical egr removal but they haven't been mapped out. You could get it cheaper without the 20s and use the Bentleys...

EGR - what’s the cheapest way out of that then, mapping or putting the EGR back in ? The V10 is plenty powerful enough already, d**king about with it just causes problems. Like this.

Wheels - thankfully they don’t fit. The Bentley is 5x112, The Touareg is 5x130, so you don’t get scene muppets putting Bentley wheels on Touaregs & Q7s But by a stroke of luck I still have a set of 18” Cayenne wheels that work very nicely on the Touareg. So I could sell the 19s *and* the 20s to end up with a very cheap Touareg.

The Speedlines would have been reasonably valuable if they’d not been painted black.

Here’s mine as it was with the 18” Cayenne wheels. Ride quality was lovely & comfy.
