| I'd stick. Seems like a reasonable number to get through MOT and then maybe have a couple of years before the next bill. Or perhaps longer. And meanwhile enjoy the best RR of our time, cos we're all ... |

| I use premium high octane fuel. Same way as my boy only eats organic fibre. Keeps things pumped cleaned for a smooth life. I don't calculate the total cost of ownership for my son. I don't want to t ... |

| Mine definitely feels reassuringly precise, if that's your sensation. Compared, say, to an old Defender! To be honest I am not sure what over-sensitive steering feels like, so I am sorry to not be of ... |

| When I first bought my fatty it was £1000 to insure. N6 London, fully comp, full no claims, parked on street, 6000 miles a year (I do 4000 in reality). This rose to £3500 by 2023. On last renewal Di ... |

| Buying used I’d say 10% is fair. It’ll have pretty much all options and certainly the best interior, plus the dealer will treat you extra nice for the duration of your ownership. They’re a fick ... |

You definitely do not need an aftermarket immobiliser on an L460, the number stolen in London, say, is tiny.
For L405 facelift 2018 on probably does need one either. Less certain here. I offered my ... |

| I don’t have the actual numbers but I would guess my wee 2.0 P400e gives me a lifetime average of around 25mpg, 70% London driving, 30% long runs. I often think to myself it’s similar mpg to a P52 ... |

| L405 may be more targeted than L494 perhaps but the cost of repairs are surely the same. An insurance quote on an L494 P400e would settle it. But I suspect the additional cost of repairs on a PHEV dri ... |
