Re: 3 LTR version

The active exhaust valves are automatically activated in dynamic mode, it’s worth bearing this in mind if you find a spec you like without the active exhaust option.

Re: Independent Recommendation

I have just received a price to replace rear brake pads at the main dealer which is £1,140. I was already interested in changing to APEC to reduce dust, but I now have another good reason to change! To be fair, the main dealer is happy to fit pads that I supply for £92 plus the sensor - it is the p...

Had my 4 year service (at 43,000 miles) a couple of weeks ago. Health check recorded Front Pads @ 7mm & rear @ 4mm left. A few hundred miles later and a warning message has appeared - Brake pads worn. Does anyone know: Is the 4mm reported near to the limit? If so, should it have been advised as...
