Yeah, they've got 'soul', and considering I'm Italian it would be rude not to own something from my homeland, before hanging up my keys!:eyebrows:

Of course, if you want properly unreliable, you want Land Rover, as confirmed by any JD Power survey anywhere in the world for the last 20 years.
My Range Rover is broken currently (again). It's booked in for a service in two weeks time anyway, but my Landy man said to bring it in today for a quick code scan to see if he could reset it and/or see what replacement parts it might need that he could fit during the service.
Trouble, is, it doesn't appear to be broadcasting or storing any fault codes, despite the air suspension having dropped to its lowest setting and refusing to move, a "Hill Descent Control Not Available" message an the LCD and the ABS, Braking system and Traction Control warning lights being permanently on. He was puzzled; I'm just depressed...
As an aside the fault first occurred when I booted it enthusiastically out of a side road last Friday. A fellow RR owner here at work says it's just punishing me for such hooligan behaviour! :D
Ali, have you had a 4-wheel alignment done on your Beemer? If not, I'd thoroughly recommend it. You might think it drives straight now (I did with the Brabster), but the difference afterwards, when it genuinely *is* straight, is significant...
Just 'sits on the road' nicer, and seems to allow the rear wheels to plant power down better!:)

yes they are cool. But worth noting Fiat's position on the survey I linked to.
My uncle was a big Alfa fan but he had a lot of bother with his right from the off.
Yeah, sure. As always, I'd be super-fussy about what I was buying, and so would take my mechanic mate with me to assess potential purchases, armed with his diagnostics unit, plus take out an extended warranty on any purchase, as I did with the Brabster:)

Among other improvements, for me, this has been the most noticeable, in terms of negative camber:
"4) A proper, non-excessive amount of negative camber utilizes the full tire width and aids in exerting downward force to maximize grip."
Yup!:)

I usually have it done when I fit new tyres, keeps wear to a minimum.
I do so little mileage that I don't wear tyres out as a rule, I replace them when the sidewalls start perishing and cracking.
