I’ve got 19” Range Rover Alloys on my T5, that were on it when I bought it, and 255×50 R19 types & it’s a very comfortable ride

Reading these posts is making me feel quite anxious!!

Fitting incorrect wheels to vehicles is deadly, Range Rover wheels are made for range rovers not T5 vans !!

Is anyone aware of the offsets and backspace ??

Let alone your insurance company telling you to do one if you have any type of accident.

Stick with what’s made for the vehicle and make sure you have the correct offset.

Safety before bling !!!

this is from towbar express who are very expensive, sounds like someone is pulling your todger at a £1000
independents will be a lot cheaper, and they are the ones that come to BMW and fit !

On a Swan Neck towbar, the towball is part of the neck of the towbar.

A swan neck towbar can look tidier on the vehicle because it is more compact and is less likely to set any reverse parking sensors off. We can not guarantee this as it is dependant on the bumper shape and location of the parking sensors. We would recommend the Detachable Swan Neck Towbar if your vehicle has parking sensors.

Tidy and compact

Compatible with ALKO Stabilisers

Fits most clamp-on Cycle Carriers

Unlikely to trigger parking sensors compared to a Flange Towbar, however we would recommend a Detachable Towbar instead

The flangeball towbar is a commonly used type of towbar in this country.

On this type of towbar, the towball is bolted on to a faceplate on the tow bar, this allows accessories such as bumper guards and cycle carriers to be bolted behind the towball.

Versatile

Can be used with most accessories.

Can be used with a bumper guard.

Not recommended if your vehicle has reverse parking sensors.

I’d say you were being ripped off for £1000 ! Is that with BMW ?

The real question is though… Does it pop and bang? 😏

absolutely not, far to refined for that !

I hope my midlife crisis is more exciting than buying a Volvo 😉

lol 😂 I’ve had a fair few fast cars and nothing comes close to how fun this is to drive.

I like it !
Wife hates it ! (Secretly she likes it- far to racy for her, qashqai is all anyone needs according to her)

No issues then !

Is that lot printed on the boot lid?

Obviously !

Not bothered about MPG at this point we have the family wagon for dogs/children/bikes etc
Having owned a few 4.2 V8s it can’t be any worse and will only get used occasionally.

Here goes and I’m sure I’ll be slated with sausages and bomber forks 😂

He’s a complete and utter see you next Tuesday, but what if and it’s a massive what if he’s telling the truth 😵 what if the victim (the school boy) was actually beating up girls etc – it’s perfectly feasible that this could be true…
…is TOmmy the **** guilty by association of being himself ?!

Anything is possible these days !

I am not at all sure I’m going to keep it

.

Are you going to get a refund ? 😂

“Wasn’t what I expected I want my money back “

Do tell

My friend Billy had a ten foot willy, he showed it to the lady next door.
She thought it was a snake and hit it with a rake,

And now it’s only 4 ft 4.

I can’t be only one hoping for a particular outcome to this flight?

Are you insinuating that it goes wrong with a bang ?!?
If so pretty bad taste…

Thanks for all the recommendations

Any last minute recommendations welcomed.

Thanks so far, should have said I’m not keen on anything fishy !

The most random question ever asked !!!

I’d suggest a temperature controlled truck 😂

I wouldn’t feel guilty, it sounds like a little shit and will always attack without provocation.

No it sounds like another 3k fashion accessory that’s been ignored from the get go and has been left untrained in any way. (sorry to be harsh, but hey !)

If they won’t take the time to deal with it and are passing it around then it would be better put down.

As I said, too many stories blah blah blah.

You sound like the perfect candidate for her !

Woodgreen rehoming are going to get back to me but unlikely to take her, they were brutally honest and said there wont be many places that will take her.
There are quite a few small charities that take dogs however some are just as bad as the horrid breeders.

She was fully checked by our long term vet – absolutely fine.

Anyone want a dog ??!?! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

At a guess it’s the central locking unit ?!?!

Removing the door skin takes about 5 mins about 12 star screws to remove, taking out the handle is a bit trickier.

Plenty of videos on YouTube

I’m sure any radiologists would love to put their career on the line to a random stranger…

I hope it’s nothing to serious

Or ask for your money back, if they fix it and something else goes wrong you’re not entitled to money back.

Reject the car, law is on your side.

Stop moaning, if you wanted the jab you’d have waited !

Hardly worth moaning about, especially since it could save your life !

Unfortunately the said topic turns into an almost anti Semitic hate thread, even though this will be venomously denied,to some this is how it appears.

Gosh another gentle brag !

If you have to ask this question then you don’t deserve a fast car !

Gentle brag about a holiday home, I’m sure your legal representation would have told you this.

This post goes against STW didn’t you know holiday homes are frowned upon

Selling with a known fault is bad (c)karma, I believe we buy any car will hold you responsible if you sell like that.
Also giving the problem to someone else who would have also worked hard to pay for the car is really a horrid thing to do.

Temp sensor – issue resolved

Thanks for input

Overthinking a non major jacket issue !

Anything from a supermarket will do!

The real question why would a grown male/female adult (I presume you’re an adult) want to harass their neighbour in this way ? Seems like a juvenile thing to do, if you have an issue with your neighbour speak to them, perhaps you have already and it didn’t work out, I think you’re still not over whatever it is hence acting in this way.
Park whatever’s bothering you and move on. Life is way too short.

No comment!

This is true, but I’d consider spending some time away from the internet OP, for your own wellbeing.

And I mean that genuinely, not being snidey.

you’re probably right !

never my intention to mix the two things up – I’m genuinely appalled and upset to read about what goes on around the world.

If I’ve caused offence or upset anyone I’m sorry…

OP – how are you going to take actual real-world steps to bring this to the attention of enough people to make a tangible change?

No idea start a post about beheading children in Mozambique ?

It’s pretty distasteful using an issue like this to provoke an internet forum bust up using straw men and immediately turn it into all about ‘woke’ or ‘right-on’ or whatever.

Because people only care when it’s happening to someone that looks like them.

not me…

Lets get this straight because I don’t consider myself as part of the WOKE movement I’m considered racist ?

How strange that anyone could come to this conclusion, and that’s the problem world over, don’t agree with us you’re automatically racist…

Are you Schrodingers outrage? Simultaneously both outraged, but uncaring at the same time?

I’m definitely not uncaring…however I don’t need to defend myself against fellow keyboard worriers.

The story is 3 hours old on the BBC website – how long had you been ruminating on this issue before you felt the need to speak out about it?

Its been happening for a long time, however the media have chosen not to publish it

So is the point of this thread to broadcast your view that all protests are somehow a bad thing?

I’m not saying that in anyway

Because people only care when it’s happening to someone that looks like them

clearly not true

Why dont you organise a protest about that then?

I’m not a member of the Woke group…

If this was last year or 6 months ago, most of you would have been up in arms about such ludicrous behaviour.
Last time I checked on the news Covid hadn’t gone away and it’s still as shit out there.
I’m sure the three people who died (that I knew) and the thousands of others would love the fact that your utterly selfish neighbour is having a party.

A lot of you blame the government – look a bit closer !

You know the right thing to do…

Ex army sleeping bag, plenty on eBay warm and snug in the winter and perfectly usable in the summer.

Go for an A GRADE extra large

End of thread !

Stop pissing about and just get both. Problem solved.

I’m not made of money ! Neighbours would get jealous…

Good call on the Burago – what are they like if I take it on holiday ? Do they have good international servicing/repair network ?

funny that as in typical singletrack style you presume I don’t know anything about cars !

Having owned numerous V8s and even a BMW 335i I know exactly what I’m talking about, I also read the OP, sell it to the highest offer and move on or don’t sell it and keep it in the garage.

What’s the alternative, ye miserable big knacker?

whatever you want it to be !

My toy is now an Audi TT 2.0 Quattro, its way more fun than the 4.2 V8 it replaced,

Big engines aren’t the way to go anymore, about time more people released this.
