This GP5 came to our workshop and seem to have a issue with idle and sometime while running it suddenly feels a loss of power and stops. Then when you try to crank but it will not start then when you fully turn off the system and then restart it starts fine and moves. The car has done over 100k and haven;t touched. We did a general EFI cleaning and hoped it would clear out. No engine codes were given. After the EFI cleanup the car ran fine for sometime but after about two days same thing started. My guess is may be the ignition coils kind a give up when they heat. (Not sure, just a suggestion) . If you guys have any idea appreciate sharing it with us.
Officially joined the thel-hinganna normie horde with ....drumroll... a 2025 Vezel... I am eagerly anticipating joining the 'thel keeyak karanawada' debates at almsgivings.
Recently, got the opportunity to see and get inside of The one and only Japanese V12, Toyota Century(a.k.a Japanese Rolls Royce). Is it really upto Rolls Royce standards? Nope, I don't think so. Items like Switches and mirror housings are in plastic. But, we can be assured that the dashboard will not light up like Christmas and would run forever....
...and just like that from having parking space issues a few month's back I'm car-less.
The cost of renting something for a month or two (even more - personal imports have been quite messy of late) made me wonder if it actually makes sense to buy a quickly disposable car and get rid of it in a couple of months - but it seems the 'popular' models aren't moving. A few messages to sellers (registered owners) on marketplace resulted in them sending me daily price reduction updates.
Sleepless nights have begun. I'm twisting between SL320 and SL500. Should I just pay additional 2000 euros more and go for the SL500 and go broke or settle with a SL320?
