Seems it was the battery, nothing more complicated than that.
The AA have been excellent. I joined 6 weeks ago and so far they have recovered the car and transported it to my garage of choice 30 m ... |

Thanks all once again.
dead again today, so new battery it is.
One final question. I have AA so the path of least resistance (no pun intended) is to pay them to come and fit a new one for me an ... |

Thanks all.
I charged the battery for a couple of hours, and hey presto, started without issue and again a few hours later.
Drove for 10 mies or so, all well except I have an amber engine warnin ... |

Thanks for the advice.
I do have a tow bar so that's an option.
It won't hurt to have a suitable charger at home so will try that first. |

Hello all
I recently got my TDV8 back from the garage having had a new EGR valve and belts.
All good for a week and maybe 150 miles.
This morning the car would not start. Ticking noise, full ... |

Thanks all.
I budget £500 a month to run any car, so that should cover most eventualities.
Usage will be maybe 10K a year, mostly commuting on motorways. No plans to tow or off-road other tha ... |

Thanks both, I will have a look.
Just to add to earlier comments. I do of course expect ongoing costs up to and including replacing every last nut and bolt on the car. No problem with that, to be ... |

Glad my post was of such interest, and thanks onc ... |

| To add, not adverse to a 405 if I can afford a decent one. Tax and mpg a bit easier to live with although I don’t do enough miles to worry too much about the latter. |

| Thanks all again. A swift conclusion here. I went over and spoke to the dealer unannounced earlier. He clearly sees me as a customer he can live without! That’s not to say in any way that he was at ... |

Thanks Jaygee, that is helpful. If those are the fundamentals that need sorting, good to know.
I expect they will quibble on brake disks etc which to be fair I can understand.
I think this car ... |

Hello everyone
Some advice please.
I have just bought a 2011 L322 4.4 TDV8. My first RR.
To give myself the best chance of getting a good one I bought from local garage, a Subaru main deal ... |
