Hi there just thought I'd put these up as I wait the arrival of the range rover
Vw golf mk4 2.8 v6 4motion
Vw golf mk5 R32
And the wife's old q7

Nice looking cars but, in my experience, bags of bolts even when serviced correctly and not driven hard.

Had 2 now (mk4 & mk6) and had nothing but trouble with the electrics, gear boxes and engines.........

Would never touch another.

All I know is vw man also,had a
Vw golf mk6 gti
Mk2 audi TT rs
Audi a5 cab
Mk4 gti
Love the things
1st time iv owned a range rover

Yes.......swapped the Mk4 after loads of hassle for a Mk6 1.6Tdi (2010) and have had nothing but even more problems. I went for a Golf because I thought that they had a reputation for reliability and build quality?

An acquaintance of mine bought an R32 new and had loads of problems with it and ended up going to court - went on for years until dealer/VW settled out of court to avoid publicity - the way he was treated put him and me off ever buying anything from them

They even took it away for investigations and kept it months - this appeared vindictive from my observations. He was in contact with many owners with same problems through a VW forum and his health suffered badly

Ride was so hard it was crippling for long journeys but if you like it and found it reliable carry on enjoying it  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

Had a V5, great car, only just a little more economical than the RRS! Gone - MY12 SDV6, Orkney Grey, Ivory interior, Privacy Glass

I had a mk4 GTi PD150 which needed lots of liitle things doing to it under warranty. Needed a new gearbox just 6k miles out of warranty.

Funny that the two most expensive vehicles I've owned have both required loads of work (Golf and RRS). Had several warm/hot Peugeots which only ever needed servicing and tyres and were driven "enthusiastically" at every opportunity. Skoda and Suzuki both reassuringly boring in the reliability stakes too. Old Datsun was pretty good too except for a faulty starter motor that was fixed with some washers and Araldite! 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

How come you have the same rego on the Q7 and one of the Golfs? Is 52 = 2012? I don't understand quite how your system works now, I left pommie land in 1993 which I think was K or L rego? Gone - 2008 Stornoway Grey RRS 2.7 TDV6
Gone - 2009 Buckingham Blue RRS 2.7 TDV6
Gone - 2010 Alaska White RRS 5.0 V8 Aspirated
Gone - 2017 Chawton White RRS 5.0 V8 Supercharged
Current - 2010 Java Black RRS 5.0 V8 Aspirated
Current- 2024 RRS P400 SE Dynamic

BKHK, He probably didn't own both vehicles at the same time. Hence thats why same plate is showing on both vehicles.

52 is 2002 - 2012 is 62
