lord_jagganath 421 Report post Posted May 7, 2020 (edited) Just collected this beast today. unusually for a UK car, has power seats and black leather. The dubs make the ride a little jiggly at times though. is there anything i should keep an eye out for? also, are those BBS rims, i can't tell tbh.

lord_jagganath 421 Report post Posted May 29, 2020 Just replaced the Pollen filter on this, and it smells so much better, do that whenever you buy a new car! was recommended to do the works -(air/fuel/oil filters) at the next service, so will see how that goes. just waiting for my bottles of fuel conditioner to come in so I can fill the 100L tank with it. The commanding position is great, as is the adjustable suspension. now if only it were easier to see things when reversing (no reverse cameras, only sensors, albeit very good ones) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coop 261 Report post Posted May 29, 2020 Nice. I have a Porsche Cayenne Turbo of the same era with a failed timing chain. Its not cost effective to fix, so I'm parting it out. I believe the Q7, Cayenne and Touraeg share a lot of parts. If you need any parts the three models share, drop me a line. I often used a Q7 V6 diesel rental through Hertz when holidaying in Australia. Great long distance runners. Typical Aussie highways at 110kmh will see 6.2l/100km and I'd usually average mid 7s the whole time. Awesome economy for what the car is. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lord_jagganath 421 Report post Posted June 16, 2020 Bought a pair of OEM reflectors on Ebay, and it arrived in just a week! amazing. wow. How? and at just a total cost of NZD 120 (including GST and freight) for the pair(carbreaker yard wanted $145 each used). it is exactly the same as the originals though YMMV. my next issue is taking the bumper off to put these in. that's the weekend project I guess.

B.M.W Ltd 950 Report post Posted June 16, 2020 I hope they aren't like Mercedes ones I got for the motor home (Ebay) started cracking on the bench even before fitting. They didn't get fitted. Got a set from the UK instead. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
