What are you replacing it with ????

Hi iam suffering ill health, and old age.Both my wife and myself are having trouble getting in the RRS. Plus if i were to pop off, I don't want my children to have to deal with sale of RRS. So i am now going over to Ford Kuga Titanium X 1.5 Eco Boost Turbo Auto Ruby Red. On motorbility. So any problems,it can be sent back. As the old saying goes Had that, done that, got the T shirt. Always had top of the range cars,of the 55 cars in my life. So i can live on the memory

Hi Harrygh60, keep in touch if you sell your RRS and best of luck with the Kuga,  2007, HSE, Cairnes Blue, Factory tints, Love it !!!

** Update on my search for RRS ***

Just got back from meeting Harry and his wife, what a lovely couple.

The Sport was in great condtion and has been so well looked after. Even though i have spent more than my original budget it is well worth it. My wife even agreed with me.

Can not wait to pick it up. Thank you Harry for selling it to me.

Regards

Also thanks to the other kind offers from other forum members.

Yeh, I had one of them in 2007 when Auto was first launched 2.2 HSE in Black. Very nice car. But i still got that wow feeling when i drove my first RRS, i had to buy it

Kuga looks good Harry, Nice colour, I hope you enjoy it.

So "Fast but not furious" any mod's planned, remap etc? In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

Very pleased with the RRS. It already has most of the extras that i would have added. I am going to get the alloys refurbished and looking to see if i can get the silver tow cover to fit a face lift model front bumper that is not an autobiography. Oh and will change the lettering to matt black. Won’t bother with remap as i am not too worried about fuel/speed as i only do very low miles.

Update on Kuga, Went to collect on 24th July was told cleaner has had accident on front bumper. raining very heavy when I went to collect. I was shown a couple of scratches on front bumper, could not inspect closer due to heavy rain. I was told it would be repaired as good as new within 7 days. Next day it was dry, so had a closer look at car. There was more than a couple of scratches on bumper. The paint looked dull, there was adhesive marks on roof, where protective sheets had been removed. There was bits of the sheeting in channels under tailgate. There was lots of dead leaves on air vents under bonnet. It looked as if it had not been prepared for delivery. It went on to 6 weeks before it got repaired, very badly excessive gap on join of wing and bumper, and very bad colour match. I complained but Don'tTRUSTFORD Woodford

said it was a satisfactory repair. And Customer Relations Centre, said there was nothing they could do. They offered me £100 Ford Voucher to shut me up. I fell short of telling them what to do with it. Motability Operations came to my rescue, and let me out of my contract and refunded my advance payment, so I could choose another car. I have now chosen a Honda CRV SR Auto NAV with reverse camera. Being delivered 23 Nov. As for the Kuga It is no more economical than the RRS 22mpg in town, and 28 on run itisme

Let us know how you get on with the CRV . We've had three in the past and still have one now all have been entirely FAULTLESS

Hi 362bkr, I got my new Honda CRV 2.0ltr SR AUTO yesterday I am very pleased with my choice up till now. It's much better build quality than the Kuga. And it is the latest facelift model. Here are a couple of Pic's
