Re: thinking of a change... opinions needed!

If you're looking at any Aston, take a look at any of the Jaguar XK specs. Looks slightly better, performance is similar and probably cheaper than the Aston..

Re: Written off car

Luckily it seems I was too stressed to properly check the damage and my Step Dad reckons most of the damage is superficial, however as the drivers side front wheel took the brunt of the damage it'll obviously need to go into a workshop and get fully checked out. A few panels away from the damage to ...

Re: Written off car

Yeah, well I know I can drive, so I didn't intend crashing myself... whether I have to cough up with the other driver being at fault im not sure?

It's so high, as it kept the overall insurance low.

Aye, possible broken hand but nothing that's worrying me as much as my £1k excess.

Rattle when reversing..

The past few days I've noticed a weird rattle when I'm reversing. It only seems to happen when the steering is at or near to full lock and is a low pitched constant almost clicking noise... Any suggestions what it might be and if it's worth taking it down to the nearest VW to get it checked out?

No doubt using similar tech to the Jaguar CX75 and at a lower budget the F-type.

Congrats on the car, I find with this engine the most enjoyable bit is the kick from 50 upwards when you push it.

Re: Lots of new Apple gadgets announced today

Not enough changes to the 5 to justify me upgrading from the 4s just yet. Maybe once the initial price lowers and any bugs are sorted out. Does look awesome though.

Sorry to hear about the car break-in and hope you get it sorted relatively hassle free! Made me panic a bit about my own car, so going to look for the key hole as suggested above..

Re: Picking up new car tomorow things to look out for?

I just made sure all the components were firm, in place.. checked all the electronics and looked for any obvious small dents/scratches.. some of which the dealer may have hidden and won't become noticeable for a few days. This happened around my petrol cap.

Re: 2.0 TSI MPG

So far, my MPG display seems to be rather optimistic. The real MPG is about 5mpg lower than the display claims typically. Anyone else? Not noticed that to be honest. Done 720 miles this week on around £130 I think. So my display is about right, if anything slightly below what I've actually had. - W...
