Or if you enjoy punching the underside of the dash with your knuckles ever time you put the handbrake down.

That's quite a specific requirement but you gotta go with what works.

I have not looked back since getting a Audi Q7. Can tow car, trailer and several hundred kilos of tools, fuel and 3 mates like most cars going to shopping centre.

A good 10yo one is now probably under $35k.

Excellent info, much appreciated. 

It's a turbo diesel right? 

So when are you expecting turbo/injection pump to shit the bed? 

Trans still happy? 

Updated above post

 

still going it’s due for new oil at 330k will report back then

So the big ticket items are still to come. 

I assume it's got direct injection as well so 6 very expensive injectors + injector pump is a good few K (same as any modern SUV now), turbo will be whenever it goes. 

 

 

 

 

200 if you want to go off-road 

q7 tows as well but much nicer when not towing

which is 90% of lyf

landcrusher always wins on resale cause Toyota fan boys but all the 50k landcrushers r 250k on the clock so just buy new as money wise it’s a similar depreciation

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
