Yes, the the reliability/maintenance complaining are directly proportional to the "wanting a new car" comments....

I've been offered a 3.6 in an almost prefect spec for what seems like 'too good to be true' money but am holding off for now. :geek:
Too good to turn down :lol: :oops: :lol:

So I now own a 3.6 TDV8 Vogue SE.
Picked it up Saturday - hasn't broken down YET :D

all the toys - heated and cooled seats, heated steering wheel 8-) Is basically a lovely place to be.
Expect it will be financially ruinous to run, but hopefully enjoyable too.

Should provide ample material for fleet updates :D

Good work though - I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Twitter photo was of it being comprehensively snow-foamed but it looks to be a dark colour, so probably not a silver one.

Believe it's stornoway Grey, black leather interior. Piano black dash. For me it's THE color combo as I didn't want another black car.

Needs a few bits sorting, but it was commensurately priced so hopefully with a bit of dealing well be ahead.
