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.

Curious..... although given he (or maybe someone else) pumped into it (in terms of £'s ) he's probably relieved with that.

LOL. "I’m KEEPING the Unimog! Probably forever." I'm getting flashbacks to every car Ste ever had:

It's brilliant it's the best car ever
I'm thinking of selling it
I've changed my mind it's better than the best car ever I'm never ever ever ever selling it

......

(quietly sells it because actually it's a fcuked money pit)

then slags it off 6 months later when someone else looks at the same model.

'71 Vauxhall Viva HC De-Luxe

Sold 4 weeks ago. Still won't work. It's at a local garage who is a classic Vauxhall nerd. He got it to start but it won't run properly. He reckons the carb is playing up now so he's fitting a used one he has in stock today.

It's the Viva that most readily comes to my mind, but he did the same with most of them. Many, many years ago he sold Gavster an E34 that never ran right without mentioning it had a problem.

@speedingfine, doesn't tempt you away from the Merc idea?
