I'm long out of touch with new hardware so forgive me but that's why I'm here asking. I need a new monitor, it will be used 99% in a home office for work. I am looking for a wide monitor for desktop space with a single rather than dual monitors. I'd like decent built in speakers and obviously a...

I'd prefer a comfy ride not to have to slow down for bumps on the road.

Yes I think it would. Taking an advantage because you know someone is fine, but asking what the question topics will be is cheating (I suggest) which might lower his opinion of you.

You’re absolutely right, the engine / rwd define the car. That said, floor it at 30mph on a damp road and it will try to go sideways even if you were driving straight originally. I never said it was a bad thing.

Don’t worry about it. It’ll be worth it either way. Oh and just remember not to use kick down on damp roads.

For me it would have to be rear wheel drive and would need more than a four pot and either NA or SC. That’s just me I’m not really one for “throwing it around a corner” when I can’t see what’s in the road on the other side. I do however love to hear a sound track coming slow out of a corner...

Reading the few posts above, what is a weekend car? Is it something to pretend you’re on the track in? Or is it just something to drive that’s not a “boat”. Because I had a Z4 coupe and it was fine to drive at the weekend in. It didn’t quite have the power for it in the dry but in the damp...

Well there are other options, but I’m not arguing with you after I realised he’d said no plug-ins as mentioned in my post.

It’s plugin, that’s not to say you have to plug it in or any plug in hybrid, many don’t. But it defies the point of carrying heavy batteries around. The i8 is however tragically expensive for what you get. (I really want one)

If you had said that 3 years ago I’d agree but there’s a wide range now isn’t there? For a start I have a BMW G30 hybrid. I’ll admit I don’t really like it but I think thats because I sold an XKR to buy it. Are you calling the G30 or even the Volvo s90 etc tragic? If I was coming from a...

I too would go down the insurance route. Although part of me questions if the car is of low value then is it worth paying extra on your insurance for the next 5 years (as happens even with no fault claims?) As others have said, perhaps the risks of not informing your insurance are too high...

Yes exactly, I can’t see the difference between the two.

I sold an XKR in April and bought a new 530e in a rather knee jerk reaction to how many stone chips it had and getting 9mpg one day on the way back from work, oh and a speed camera scare. I love washing a new car so much and crawling in traffic no longer feels so polluting but it really could...

What makes you think that the behaviour was in any way related to your car? Not the same thing, but I found more people wanted to race me in a 3.0 Z4 than an XKR with twice the power.

I appear to be able to set the date myself just from clicking on the warning (comes up with a select date option). Also Pepp77 I get the idea that something is set wrong although I’m not sure 1 year is right as the car is only 8months since manufacture. Anyway, thank you both, at least I need...

My car has just flagged up with this. Some research has suggested to me that this is just an MOT reminder, what’s confusing to me is that the car was only made in Nov 2018 (reg. Dec 2018). I am missing something? EDIT - is it trying to remind me to set the date in?

Can it be “compacted”?

Since July I’ve been the proud owner of a 2014 Jaguar XK dynamic R. I bought it with my heart after saving for years and it excels at what I want, being “unique”, sounding awesome and being very fast. What it doesn’t do is save the planet or function for a family trip away as the child seat...

I have a Jaguar XKR 5.0, it came with PZero's on the front and something slippy on the back, Kumho SPT or something like that. They are dangerous, obviously the car has plenty of power but wheel spins on the motorway in a straight line get annoying, well exciting first but then annoying. The...

I thought the fuel was always taken from the bottom of tank? So how wouldnletting it run low make any difference?
