I wonder if the reason all the front of house staff at high end car dealers are young, hot and female , a middle aged guy isn't going to be prodding his index finger in the chest of an attractive young woman when he's not happy but he might if it's a bloke , tits are very calming
When I was at Maserati we had two ladies actually Milfs I would say and both British and both lovely.
100% success rate of getting guys putting their cards into the card reader.
To be fair when I had my 360 Modena and had it serviced at Carrs in Exeter a nice big bill I did exactly the same and the wife at the time accused me of flirting ;)

No idea, but certainly day rates for senior consultants at C-suite level

The latter having the distinct advantage that the capital investment required to become such a consultant involves no premises, tooling techs, swanky coffee, comely receptionists and shiny-suited sales wonks.

Result!

Ever since I've had this range rover the viscous fan has been noisy , over the last couple of weeks it's got to frightening small children level so I got a new one , took it to a mates garage this morning
It's only one nut , but one nut you can't get at20230902_102630.jpg
That'll be why it's not working then

I also found out my phone speaks Scottish when I went to send a WhatsApp

Ignoring the £8000 price tag who would put 24" wheels on a range rover , what are the tyres like , rubber bands

Just been having a read over on pistonheads of L460 range rover owners insurance experiences , premiums jumping from £600 to £3600 because gone in 60 seconds isn't just a film title , some are even getting declined renewal at any price which is very unusual , they usually get the we don't want your business quote

It's also having a knock on effect with values as people are offloading them for something insurable, one guy said a 65k car he looked at a few weeks ago is under 50k now because the market is flooded and they're not selling

I know of two owners of the new RR, one in London is paying 7k, the other in Guildford is paying 6k for a year's fully comp!

Always been stealable, usual scaremongering sensationalism tabloid sales techniques!

Whereas here in Dorset it’s just a few hundred quid, thankfully.
Thieves probably get lost trying to find the address or once stolen! "I've been told the target in some place called Abbas.....there seems to be a lot of them...."
Far to hard versus 200 RRs to chose from in a single London postcode!

Range Rovers used to be very easy to steal as scummers used to be able wait for you to park your RR up and take the signal from your key fob when you locked the doors and create another ”key” from it.

Land Rover solved the issue by replacing the key signal receiver box thing for a new model that won’t let you add new keys.

So if you are a RR owner, don’t lose your keys.

Would love to read about that given that if you are cloning another key, you're not adding one.

I'm sure it's fine, OK to clear and you'll be good to go, fuel gauge in its natural position

I've had this supercharged 4.2 over a year now so I've got confidence in it , £50 worth of E5 because it'd kill me if it exploded with a full tank days are behind me
Filling it up is a bit eye watering though , it wasn't even empty
