    VW Golf R32

    It's a bit too racey. He is also insistent on an automatic. He has an 03 XJR at the moment and likes its understated performance. S

    VW Golf R32

    Want something with serious poke. Sub 6.5 secs and looking second hand spending no more than 14k. QTR - What did you think of them? Did they often go wrong. The exhaust note is great but he's in his early 60's... Did it ever become intrusive? Ideally for the money I want an 08 with sub 50k on...

    VW Golf R32

    Hi all. Sorry for not putting this in 'anything goes'. I thought better than getting waffle back as answers. Do not fear I am not getting rid of my Defender. However. My old man always borrows my car over the winter as his is awful as rear wheel drive. He's looking to get a new car and as I...

    Land Rover Series Thailand

    You should go to Bo Phut and check out Larry's Steak Shack. Food is fantastic. Also BBC for a sunset. Another good restaurant is Oceans 11. I have been a few times to the island now so have managed to weed out the bad places... The condition and modifications to some of the landys out there...

    Land Rover Series Thailand

    Hi All, Just in Ko Samui where my Aunt and Uncle live and have been for the last 20 years. Down the road from them there is a quad bike track for tourists but saw this tucked away in the corner... Some of the Land Rovers out here have been converted to make them suitable for the off road...

    Think I Put It On Too Cheap!!

    Be warned about the XJR. My old mans has gone wrong at the moment. Took it to the stealer and they wanted 3'000 to fix a radar cruise control unit. Needless to say I pulled it from them and am looking to go independent but if you're not buying new >5yrs you're going to hit problems. Ignore the...

    Getting a bit hot and bothered

    I use to lose 2L of coolant a month. Turned out one of the pipes feeding the engine was rubbing on the chassis and had created a small hole. Was discovered when the pipe was moved aside to get to part of the engine and coolant squirted out. Fingers crossed the problem is solved and will be...

    Can you give a description of what you has as the symptoms? When I change through the gears it seems to over rev into the next gear. Is this the same for you? Thanks. S

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    Used sealant on the sunroof. Had to drop a quick call to shifty though on what sealant to use! Bathroom clear did the trick. Done. Lucky as started to rain as finished! S.

    Thumbs up for Famous Four!

    I would change your title from 'rant' - On reading this I first thought you were having a go! Anyone else agree? (BLAST! Just read the above... Should have guessed it was :5bspam:) S

    Would watch it if it was a Defender. Best presenters? Hmm. Bear Grills and an instructor from an old Camel Trophy with a bit of carisma. S

    Do you ever worry about your grown children?

    No kids for me yet you ol' gits! Girlfriend hated it at first though. Called it ugly. Told her that I'd stop her sitting in the middle seat if she continued on and I haven't heard a peep since! S

    Not been able to advertise!!!!!!!!

    Lad. Best thing for you to do now is take it on the chin and get on with asking your question. You have had enough chances now and people here have explained it's just banter. If you can't see that, and continue on, then people will just have no time of day for you and you'll have successfully...
