What other cars do you own?

[Ali-G]

Well I really didn’t want to be ”that guy” that out trumps everyone

Okay okay, I wasn’t going to participate in the willy waving in this thread but I’ve been forced into it.
Meet “The Beast” with its throbbing 900cc in-line 3 diesel engine. Obviously not looking her best at the moment as she’s sporting her winter steelies instead of her summer multi spoke black powder coated alloys .
As above, used for the weekly 300 mile commute and going anywhere where I don’t feel comfortable taking the van.
Free road tax, 70mpg and insurance around £100 per year.

... at the moment a Z4

in April '22 it was a X3M Competition ....



In 6 months time ... not yet decided ... probably another Z4 in a different colour, as it has turned out to be a fun little car - nicer to drive than the X3M which was too much of a hooligan for me.

One of the benefits of working for the manufacturer, a new car to drive every 6-8 months .... and I get the bikes too (actually bought this one)

Oh yes, yes it is. Auto too, so its slower than a slow thing on a slow day. Its my revenge on everyone else that slows me down when I`m driving the TVR.

The Cayenne was my daily smoker, when not in the van. 140K miles of mega torque V8 loveliness. Given lots of gentle warm ups and cool downs over its life, and generally lots of mechanical sympathy. As well as being driven quite spiritedly up and down motorways at licence compromising speeds.

It had just started to be a bit rough and spluttering on gear changes. I thought the EGRs might be getting blocked (It's pre Ad-blue). Then one day I came to slow down at a junction and had to brake hard and it stalled the engine. The torque converter lock up clutch was permanently locked. Fault code said so too. I drained the autobox fluid which came out all sparkly. I dropped the sump and it was full of bits of friction material. Trans cooler lines full of sparkly fluid, so box done too.

It now looks like this;




No one rebuilds the boxes, you can buy a new one for £8K plus VAT. New torque converter is £3K plus vat. It's basically a Touareg underneath anyway, and I made an interesting discovery on VW part numbers' letter suffixes, which for torque converters isn't just a superseded part number. Different letter at the end, completely different part.

I found a fab 10K mile used box at a breakers, but no torque converter.

Torque converter however being dropped off tomorrow for a rebuild.

There's plenty more detail, but don't want to derail thread...

Just the Dacia as a runaround. Cheap to run and insure, loads of boot space. I have a nice view from the house as well.
