Trashy's Forums!

I am usually not the type to post on forums but I am genuinely stuck and could use some guidance. My Continental GTC has been having occasional rough downshifts when coming to a stop, not every time but often enough to bother me. The dealer quoted me a diagnostic fee that is more than my monthly gro...

I am close to pulling the trigger on a 2017 A4 from a private seller, the price is right and the car drives beautifully, but the one thing holding me back is maintenance. I keep reading horror stories about people getting fleeced at random garages because the mechanics do not understand these engine...

I've got a 2018 Porsche 718 Cayman and the brake pad warning light came on a few days ago. I've been putting off dealing with it because I have no idea where to take it. Back home I had a specialist I trusted but here in Dubai I'm still figuring out who's actually good with these cars. I was searchi...

I've been hunting for a used Range Rover for a while and finally found one in Al Quoz that looks promising, but the seller is one of those guys who says everything is perfect and doesn't have much paperwork to back it up. I've heard these SUVs can have air suspension problems and electrical gremlins...

So I've had my car for about eight months now and I swear the parking situation here is a different kind of stress. Between tight mall garages and people who just swing their doors open without a care, I've already collected two tiny chips on the rear quarter panel. Nothing major but it drives me nu...

So back in March I decided to stop doing the whole scramble around whenever something went wrong and signed up for an exclusive Jeep premium maintenance plan at a workshop a few friends recommended. Six months in and I have mixed feelings, so I figured I'd share in case anyone else is on the fence. ...

I've been driving my MINI Cooper S for about four years now and I absolutely love the performance, it's such a blast to drive especially on the highways here. But I've been having this ongoing issue with the turbo that's been really frustrating. Sometimes the power just drops off and I get this hesi...

So I run a small contracting business here in Abu Dhabi and we deal with a lot of long materials like PVC conduits, timber battens, and aluminum profiles for window framing, and honestly storing them properly has been driving me up the wall for months. We've been leaning them against walls, tying th...

I've had my car for about seven years now and the leather seats are really showing their age, especially the driver's side where I get in and out every day. The bolsters are cracked, the color has faded to a weird grayish shade instead of the original tan, and there are some areas where the top laye...

I honestly can't believe how quickly this escalated. I was driving back from Al Ain on the highway last week and heard that dreaded ping sound from a small rock hitting the windshield, and at the time it was just a tiny little chip about the size of a coin so I figured I'd get it sorted out later.
