So, where that leaves me is... with a ageing luxury car that will cost me a few quid on the odd occasion.

However, its a beast, still looks great today and I get in so many new cars these days and I am just disappointed with there features , that I have these features on my X5 and its either missing / not as good or even they somehow botch it and it doesn't work the right way. BMW's Pan Roof is a great example, I love mine... yes, I had problems with it and needed the fix to make it work again. But every other Pan Roof I have seen is rubbish including the Discovery or Q7. Basically, get the spanners out, learn to repair it, feel good about keeping it on the road and love the fact that you could have spent the evening in front of the TV watching Walking Dead but you did something productive instead.

PS. I love Walking Dead, so if you do choose to spend your evenings watching that then you will hear no complaints from me.
