    What makes the perfect Winter car

    Same scenario a few years back , the daughters manual 107 with its 145 section tyres showed the way forward to many 2T wide tyred vehicles regardless of their sophisticated AWD systems and Auto gearboxes. Having said that there are a lot of drivers that think that more revs are the answer to all...

    gummi pflege not helping sticking windows?

    It will be now if you have poured water on the seal on the door :D As said - mine never froze onto the surrounding seal , unless super baltic , it was mainly the long door seal that froze onto the glass preventing the initial drop. A quick run along with the bank card soon had the glass...

    Oh rats

    Read somewhere that it is not just with the wiring components but also with coolant pipes made from certain materials containing soy. Just dont leave an opened packet of prawn crackers lying around or the vehicle will be reduced to a shell as the ravenous rodents cant resist a good munch. K

    Lowering, Spacing and changing the wheels on my W213

    Been doing a bit of research regarding lowering my present vehicle (Cayenne) and if your car has various front facing cameras and sensors they may need re-calibrating to accommodate the newer ride height , at a cost - obviously. K

    Used car market

    If you are considering one in the future then do some research regarding "rocker arm failure" on the Audi V6 motors , they revised them from `19 onwards so it may be better holding out for a later one to save any future potential hassle. Nice and tuneable too as GAD are quoting a healthy...

    Dreaded Air Supsnsion
