I'm obviously just up for punishment.

OP, I have a feeling you don’t have an electric car?!

I have no idea at all what gave you that impression! Of course I have an electric car.

Here it is....



EDIT: I do like the look of the 4.0T e-hybrid Cayenne actually, but only because it's even faster than the rest of them.

Sorry buddy.

I have been lax here. I will get some later, I handed over the keys to the Mrs this morning as she's just had her COVID vax and has a dead arm, so couldn't take her manual Merc to work. I'll get some more when the car returns this afternoon.

You obviously know a bit about the running costs on these old Cayennes. What do you think? Do you do the work yourself, what would a reasonable yearly budget for upkeep and maintenance run at.

Not cheap!
Servicing isn't cheap, nor are tyres, but I did at least save myself £1,700 odd on the turbo by implementing the Jimi fix when the propshaft support bearing decided it didn't want to play any more.
