Hi, apologies for sluggish response - they do have TPMS, not 100% sure on the version, if it's any help the car is Sept 2020, the TPMS were purchased Nov 2021..

Just to advise the roof bars are no longer available..

I have afew items available due to selling my Model 3. Aftermarket Wheels with Winter tyres; 1Form 18"Edition 1 in Matt Bronze with Continental Winter Contact TS870P 235/45/R18 'V' tyres. They've been on the car for 3x 3 month winters, and still have 6mm tread on them. Excellent condition...

I've got a Sept 2020 pre refresh which has just developed the dreaded squeaky creaky drivers front. On the service request I assume simply describing it as a 'creaky squeaky' front suspension and they'll know immediately what it is and that it's a warranty job....??

2% whilst towing - at the time 1% was taking me less than 1 mile, I was glad of a downhill stretch to the charger...

I'm not an expert on trailers by any means, however my understanding is that a braked trailer should have the ability to isolate the braking function. Most work on a spring which the weight of the trailer pushes when the tow vehicle slows and activates the brake on the trailer. By isolating the...

I wonder about the trailer too, I have to say my preference would be unbraked....

The shunt was more of a clunk if you take away the dramatic word shunt:). The actual towing experience was brilliant, heavy car with weight low, 4wd and loads of torque with no gears, it was really easy. As I was nursing range I wasn't using much throttle but it had more than ample power, I was...

Hopefully others can use the info - there isn't a lot of info online really.. I worked out about 950KG. +/-50KG Boat 500kg, outboard 200kg, trailer 250kg, but thats internet research as opposed to actual weights [Edit - yes braked trailer. Didn't like it as the spring needs adjusting I think...

Right - trip was last Friday, the very short answer is I made it, a short summary below if anyone is interested. I've tried to uploand a couple of photos.. The boat on trailer is quite tall, above the line of the car, but more aero than a slab fronted trailer undoubtably.. Chilly day (by UK...

I've only just seen these replies from this date onwards, I'm glad I didn't see this before my trip.... For those interested I am about to post a very brief summary..

Really helpful - thanks...

I'm approaching 50 but am still happy with 12-14hr days in car if need be. I've afew fall backs; Father-in-law can do a stint; supercharging stops doubling as nap stops, and I can always sleep at home in the Midlands on way to Anglesey if things have not gone to plan!

I'm between the Midlands and Anglesey a lot, so am familiar with the journey... There may well be merit in sitting on cruise at 55mph on motorways rather than stop start and A Roads.. Given a stop in Flint is likely the extra ten miles or so is neither here nor there, and then Hilton P makes...

Its a new boat purchase, collection from South Coast...
