| Well, the old Treg has managed to get through its MOT today, so the exhaust isn't as bad as I thought. Bitter sweet as it means I get to keep the old girl after all, bit a little sad as it also means ... |

Spotted this one on A/T.

Seems a lot of money for 170k miles and being a private sale, but it has had a lot of work done. |

Ah, I did see those, but they don't cover the pre 2010 models so wasn't sure.

Rear vanity mirrors are bespoke to the AB model sir… Only in the leather roof lining 👍
Perfect, thanks. I haven't been able to find a list of what was 'standard' for the Autobiography and wha ... |

haha, excellent.
... and being the 3ltr v6 it is bloody quick as well!
Watch out for timing chain rattle, it's at the back of the engine so the powertrain has to be dropped & split to replace ... |

LOL,
I have heard about the insurance problems.
I'll just need to keep an eye on the classifieds and see what comes up. I am guessing most of them will be private sales as dealers are unlikely to ... |

Well, as the saying goes, 'He who snoozes, loses.'
Evidently waited too long so back to the classifieds to find another suitable vehicle. which is fine as the poor old VW hasn't been killed off just ... |

Have to agree, the Gen 1 Touareg with the facelift, in my mind are the nicest looking and most capable. That said my stepfather has ditched the forever-breaking LR in favour of th ... |

I have to say, in defence of the Treg. It is a very capable 4x4 for an SUV.
When they first launched they could be specced with front and rear lockers and hydraulic sway bar disconnects. There wa ... |

| I pretty much lost all the performance I had in my VW when I put big tyres on it. 🤣. That said she still shifts for a big girl, when she wants to. |

Lol,
I must admit, on the whole the Treg does seem to be very well built, with little mechanical issues to spec of so far. I have found almost every maintenance job on it to be a total pain in th ... |

Is there any reason to choose a 5.0 s/c over the older 4.2 s/c or visa versa?
I gather the 5ltr has the bigger brakes so wheel choice is restricted to a minimum 20" is that accurate? |

Good Afternoon everyone.
As the title suggests, I am considering an L322 Range Rover as the next family bus. It all hinges on how well the Touareg fairs in its upcoming MOT.
Should the worst ha ... |
