JLR probably would spoil owners of a hypothetical Jag hypercar if it went wrong, and Porsche wouldn't be flying every Macan owner to Barca if they had to do a Macan recall. The fact it's a very exclusive flagship supercar is surely the reason for special treatment?
Oh dear, glad you got your door sorted. You have some incredible cars to look after. Nice to see a car brand looking after and doing amazing customer service!
Man still in here, time is running - watched the first vids 7 years ago. You achieved a lot, and I’m really happy for u . Big inspiration for me. Keep the videos coming mate. Some collabs with your brother this summer would be sick. Greetings!
That car is such a beauty and I love my 996 has the same remote key , steering wheel and aluminium dash dials and on the watch front it looks like you had a Richard Millie on which is also a beauty
Its the actual shocks that they’re replacing, due to unique position of the shocks and suspension setup, it puts a lot of pressure and torque on the top hat of the shock (red piece at the front) and it strips the threads off the top of the shock which causes the top hat and shock to separate and one side of the car to collapse and if you’re moving when it happens, it could cause severe damage to your car. If it collapses onto a tire that’s moving it could destroy the carbon wheel well, crack a carbon quarter panel or cause you to wreck and total the car. It happened to DDE and luckily it didn’t damage the car.
Love that spec on your CGT…. I bought the slightly ratty 996 c4 auto from historics ascot. What wasn’t advertised was that the engine had £11k of engine rebuild 7k miles ago! It goes like stink!
I previously had a similar door. If you check instructions, you may find that the door itself has a sensor receiver with a couple of small li-ion batteries (in addition to your key fob batteries), even though that is unexpected as the door is wired into the mains. Suggest you replace those every three years or so. Takes five minutes and a couple of quid. Luckily, I had a back up personnel door access with mine, otherwise I would have been locked out like you.
Thats my ultimate car the carrera gt so I love any video involving that car. You own this beauty and you won investment wise especially from when you got yours. Porsche is mega though for treating carrera gt owners to Barcelona and free service for the car to say sorry for the inconvenience.
Got a feeling it’s increasing in value by more than 60k pa. So all good. On Porsche standing the cost of repair makes me think that given the values and typ mileages they’d expect court cases upon failure. Just my view.
We have a recall on a 12 year old 120000 mile Evoque. Potential new steering rack FoC. Not 20 year old but a run of the mill JLR Evoque with loads of miles a 3 owners deep still fixing issues! 4.5k a month for a Carrera GT! Thought it would be more than that!
They may not technically or legally owe current owners anything, but the carrera gut is such a low mileage vehicle, I’d be amazed£ if there is one with 5,000 miles. In fact I wander how many have done more than 2,000 miles on the clock.
Honestly the way the shocks and auch are set up is a engineering flaw ,wonder why they never figured out another way ,wow it looks cool but you'll need to replace things because of the weird angle the pressure and torque rip the threads off and could cause you to total the car ,or it to collapse and destroy to cabron fiber quarter panel or even the wheel,all and you pay to fix .
Just to save you time, the first 6mins is about a garage door not working 🤦🏻♂️💤 The next 6 mins is about not much really, the car can’t be driven. 🤷♂️
@@TGE 😂🤣 Personally I would have just ignored my comment. It was a pointless video though. How are you enjoying paying £5k per month on something you can’t drive? Looks like we’re in the same position 🤷♂️I can’t drive it and neither can you.
Hard to figure out who puts out the most dire content between you and the Mark McCann lad....do either of you have anything to offer? Try to engage with your audience like Matt Armstrong...make it fun or even...gasp...interesting...
@TGE if you gauge success on being financed and mortgaged to the max, well, you must be a success. Really poor content won't keep them them plates spinning much longer.
You can refinance anything but honestly it’s usually only worth the hassle on expensive investments like your home, supercars, hypercars. If you’ve got a Ford Mondeo you’ve been paying on for 4 years and refinance and now you’re paying on a 4 year old Mondeo for another 3 years instead of paying out the last year, you’re a moron. Just because you can refinance doesn’t always mean it makes sense, just do your research.
