Re: Head gasket failure on V8

EDIT: On another note, it looks like some SVO paints might get listed as 'Black' on the vehicle database. I noticed SimpleR mention a paint colour mismatch against a car search recently, and this SVR also appears as 'Black' where it has an SVO paint (Velocity Blue IIRC) Cars in SVO colours are ofte...

Re: Vehicle tax reduction

Aha! Just read an article about this. The 'luxury' tax is payable for 5 years from the second time the car is taxed. So assuming the car is taxed at first registration and then sold to the second owner before it's a year old, it then gets taxed a second time within the first year. (VED doesn't stay ...

Re: Vehicle tax reduction

I've just looked at my V5. Car registered in September 2019 and the higher VED is payable until 28/02/2025. Which is four months shorter than I was expecting, if this is correct. The only thing I'm aware of, is that it was a showroom car and dealer demo for six months after registration. The first n...

Re: sad days are coming

Problem is manufacturers are having to sell an increasing percentage of EVs or get fined, as well as prepare for ICE demise in 10 years time. We can all now see that that China has grabbed the volume 'green industry' and will be increasingly flooding the market with cheap cars, solar panels, wind tu...

Re: sad days are coming

Isn't there rumoured to be an SUV, a large saloon and a four door GT launching sometime 2025 onwards.

Doesn't necessarily mean there's no sports car ever again. Who knows. 🤞

Re: SV17WZZ

According to the advert, it also has a month's worth of Jaguar extended warranty still running, so this would be able to be renewed (circa £900 p.a.). Expensive but close to manufacturers cover on new cars.

Re: JayEmm testing the P300

I really love the car and this forum is great, I do hope there won't be cylinder snobbery on here 😂 Damn, and I was thinking of adopting an aloof V8 aura for 2024! We have to fight our corner too, you know. Those 400 Sport owners with their limited edition, have been known to say our SVRs are as co...
