I have finished uploading all my supercar clips and I'm finally onto the bigger driving projects! I've also started working with cars full time so I'm able to film with them more often which is very exciting. Looking forward to the next few years.

Thanks, I’m on my 4th, I recently had a 2 year dalliance with a Kia Venga, but it wasn’t so comfortable as Picasso, so I’m back, now with a petrol auto Exclusive which is loaded with extras….great car, not one to do a racing start with, but heigh ho, my kinda car!
I say, 'it's a little bit less comfortable than a Vogue' which is the full sized Range Rover, 'or a normal sport' as in the trim level Range Rover Sport. You do realise that there are two types of main Range Rover don't you? The Range Rover Vogue is the trim level large Range Rover and the Range Rover Sport is the trim level Range Rover Sport. The SVR that I was driving is based on the Range Rover Sport. Thanks for the comment either way. But I'm glad I could clarify that for you.
Just bought one of these today, a 2015 S5 3.0 V6 TFSI with 44k miles on the clock, and red/black leather/Alcantara interior. Astonishing performance, and as you say, sleeper looks. Great video btw.
Not only that man but that American muscle is pulling a super charged Hemi engine more power 707 horsepower, thats even more cams then a Camaro and a mustang.
Nice! - I bought (new) a 2018 370Z Nismo and it just kicks arse. Black with red trim and I installed Stillen Gen 3 long tubes with the new K&N Extreme Flow (RX-4730XD) along with AAM resonated cat deletes and a performance re-tune. When I lose the arse end, she always steers straight! Love it.
My friend just bought a 2005 Range Rover Vogue L322 today with the same engine as the one featured in this video, a TD6 3.0 Litre BMW M57 (D30). First stop is the Shell petrol station to put in a full tank of V-Power Diesel, then head to a hand car wash to detail it, and then next week off to a Range Rover specialist to have it fully serviced. Your video was quite good, thanks for uploading it.
1 Common issue on these is glow plugs, get engine hot and spray WD-40 on glow plugs everyday for weeks on end. They will come out super easy. Don't force them they will break. 8nm on a torque wrench in reverse.
I have an SRI estate. Ive had it for 7 years and its the best car i've ever had. Not a single thing has gone wrong with it and its a real workhorse. Passed MOT every time without issues. I do all the service myself, very easy to do and cheap,
Did you say BMW TDV6 engine? BMW never made one. I think you mean TD6 (Straight Six) which is what I have. I like your enthusiasm but I think we all know how sumptuous and smooth they are to drive: you rather glossed over the details most potential buyers are interested in.. the reliability and known mechanical issues. For that you need to live with the car for more than a week! The obvious one is the gearbox, which is known to be an issue (I had to replace mine.) The trick is to flush and replace the gearbox oil periodically, to extend its life (ignore the “sealed for life” nonsense.) Air suspension is another… grit accumulates in the creases of the “air bags” when they are slack, and gradually grinds away at the surface of the rubber when the bags are inflated/deflated. I had to replace the front both sides. The trick is to use the air suspension sparingly and/or give those parts a good blast with a jet wash from below from time to time. Mine gets seam cleaned annually. The 3.0 TD6 gets a bit of a bad press for being “underpowered” compared with the later TDV8 3.6 & 4.4 but in reality it is perfectly adequate for you’re not a racer even if it’s a little noisier.More importantly, the TD6 is actually more reliable and durable; the TDV8 has known issues with the turbo which can spell serious trouble down the line. The mechanic at my local dealership tells me he sees far more TDV8s coming into the shop with mechanical problems of this nature than he does the TD6, despite the TD6s being older.
Same, I’m 21 and saving up for my 2014 nismo haha. I wish you the luck man finding a 2014 nismo in mint condition with low or decent miles in the future
I have an SRI 160 BHP DIesal CDTi and ive had it for 7 years. If you want a stiffer ride, better handling all you have to do is change the wheels. I had the same wheels as your car and found the ride smooth but spongy and as it's the SRI model I thought it should handle better so I bought a set of atomic alloys (Vauxhall Insignia sports alloys) and the ride improved immensely!
My dad had one for a few years, it was such a bad car, reliable yes, but here in the austrian alps it was horrible to drive on mountain roads, at some point you couldn't feel any steering at all and you could hear all the rubber squeeking from the chassi bending. The sound system had worse quality than the newer iphone and over all it's just ugly. I forgot to mention that it overheated several times when we drove to italy with a caravan that was 200 kg lighter than the maximum towing capacity. Such a shit car
I had a Lincoln MKS EcoBoost for a few years before trading it for a Mustang GT convertible. I won a number of stop light drag races as no one thought it was quick. I sometimes wish I had kept that car.
I've had two of them. A brand new 2004 1.6HDI, full specs leather interior bla, bla, bla. And a few years ago I've got a 2007v 1.6 petrol, base specs. Absolutely brilliant piece of machinery! A real Citroen all the way. All with an excellent value for money balance. On this video the guy didn't even scratch the surface of the practicality bits built into this amazing design. Word of caution. Earlier models I believe until 2007. Don't have DPF, one less headache to deal with. And the battery access, under the seat, is still simple and easy with two simple levers. After that it's bolted in place!!! Due to more stupid "legislation". All in all making it a "pain in the a" to reach the battery! Two details I find rather important.
my insignia, cost me £5,000 on finance, paid it off early and soon as i had a week later everything went wrong, front shockers collasped, then the low oil pressure started showing on dash, n dual mass making a racket, so i had new oil pump n dual mass n clutch, then starter failed with alternator, timing belt n service, 4 tyres n lastly new glowplugs (non sensored) cost me in total a further £3,500, but now i think top suspension bushes are gone as steering goes stiff when i brake and turn the steering
