Time to move on!

Unfortunately it is time to move on and I will shortly be changing back to a “ normal” car Crying or Very sad

I love my RR but it is getting on a little and there are too many niggling faults cropping up.

I have recently replaced both side steps, a sticking calliper and a turbo hose but still have a list of issues:

Rear wiper motor inop
Park brake warning light constantly flashing
Rear camera faulty again
Sat nav keeps defaulting to Belgium
Heated front screen not working properly on the drivers side
Rust spot appearing on rear wheel arch

Big Cry Big Cry Big Cry Big Cry

No matter how many times I do the man math I can’t afford an L405 which would be my ideal replacement so I have had to change brand.

I will shortly post a couple of bits I have for sale (dog guard, IID Bluetooth and new spare wheel).

Thanks to everyone for the help and advice, I hope to be back in the fold at some point in the future Thumbs Up

Not too bad a list to sort out to be honest.

As has been said, think you will miss it.

I'll definitely miss it.

The list of issues are just what's outstanding, I have already had a few fixed and am concerned about what may be to come.

It was time for a change anyway but I can't stretch to an L405 and I didn't want to upgrade to the same style, albeit with a facelift.

new I trust. A second hand Maser will eat way more cash than a FF!

Beautiful cars, BUT running costs are astronomical. I nearly bought a quattroporte a few years back but running costs put me off.
Ended up with a Jag XK 4.2l V8 in Jaguar Prism Blue. Stunning car and colour. God I miss that.
Sold it when I moved to Ireland and why I now have a Fatty.
Do some proper research mate and good luck
