Theres a lot of 'grass is greener' chat here... I've ran my own business since 2011. Has any part of it ever been financed by a bank... no. Have I carried enormous pressure to keep the business alive during Brexit... yes (we trade primarily a French product). So whilst you can say we dont have...

I'll add another Alfa... GTV Cup #93... was properly sorted when I sold it... dont see them much now so like many it would prob be worth double now what I let it go for... maybe more. Not as quick as a 4200 obviously but I think it handled better... when properly setup quite go kart like. And...

Thanks guys... I actually think seeing that last pic in particular... that actually dropping the ride height a little is probably more important than swapping the rims. The 'rally spec' so to speak... doesn't really match the wheel aggression for me... and I think Maserati prob got it right...

Hi All The 4200 is in need of a new set of tyres... so I am weighing up whether I want to swap out to a set of the EuroSpares replica GS alloys. It's a facelift 4200 with a GS grill already... so they would go I think... but I cant quite decide whether I want to... whether it's worth it etc...

Porsche owners get very obsessed with totally re building the calipers... and whilst that is no doubt the 'correct' thing to do... if it is just a mild case sufficient cleaning... a subtle grind / file of the pad plate and a little very carefully applied copper grease... is in my opinion a much...

Hi All Does anyone have any recommendations for a good bodywork place in the south west... ideally Bristol / Bath area? I actually need to get a few scuffs on our outbound Range Rover sorted to start with but the 4200 bonnet could also do with being done once they've proved themselves...

I need to go back to our accountants... the illustration they gave me on the XC90 suggested yearly tax payments of close to 10k... which means there is essentially zero benefit putting it through the company, cleaner to keep it outside. If it was only 3k however... totally different story... so...

On a quick review... this is basically why I didn't really see these as an option: Top Gear Magazine: But we have got a couple of other issues with the hybrid. Our chief niggle is the lack of electric range: Land Rover claims it’ll drive a single, solitary battery-powered mile, but even that...

How is it that cheap? Benefit in Kind tax on the XC90 was basically 10k a year so not even worth considering that route... am I missing a trick? They were on the periphery of my attention but I was looking at the petrol versions which were at a 65k entry point and starting to head towards a...

Hi All, First to keep things on brand... the 4200 sailed through an MOT last week and with a bit of a tip from the guys at Emblem, I have found the source of my squeaky suspension. Lubing the shock ram did the trick... hopefully there is no bigger issue lurking... for now anyway I will focus on...

Or to want to hire a car at some point in time and be turned away at the collection desk with family in tow having just landed... Seems very harsh to fine at 131... but I'm not sure I'd take the do nothing approach... perhaps appeal.

In that case yeah makes sense! Surprised XC90 is that poor... would have thought even if electronic it would have had some trickery to stop one wheel spinning... kinda fundamental on anything even vaguely intended for off road or low grip conditions. Or get a 2wd... spend the cash on something...

We run quite a fleet of them for work... loose track but prob 20 odd at the moment with the oldest being a couple of c.2008 T5s which we own and the newest being more or less brand new T6s on lease. They're all diesel... mix of autos and manuals... mix of long and short wheel base... mix of 2wd...

I've often considered the GS 'replicas' for mine... anyone got any pics of 4200s with GS wheels? General verdict on looks... i.e. do they need the surf boards to 'balance' out?
