Post: RE: Wheel Bearing

Had the bearing replaced last week and all the noises have gone. I will keep an ear out for anything else, but it appears that if you are having the same problem as I had then a bearing replacement c...

Post: Wheel Bearing

Hi all. My Evoque has done just over 42000 miles but has developed a very worrying noise. It was a kind of low level grinding, like something rubbing, but not linked to speed, along with a throbbing ...

Post: RE: Will a evoque bonnet fit in a evoque???

If you want to know whether a BMW bonnet fits in an evoque, simply drive at the speed limit on any road in the UK, You'll soon have one so close to you that you can measure it!:D

Post: RE: Personal plates - where to get them made

Got mine form Proplates (http://www.proplates.co.uk) with a nice GB and Union Flag design instead of the ridiculous EU stars. I'll need a GB sticker if I venture over the Channel, but well worth it t...

Post: RE: Evoque Plus for late 2016

I'd certainly be interested in an Evoque Plus or mini-RRS, whatever they decide to market it as. My only gripe about the Evoque is the lack of boot space, so a slightly larger version would be ideal....

Agreed that the Evoque and Macan comparison in Autocar is not a fair one. One of the main reasons I bought the Evoque is for its 4x4 abilities. Take any Porsche, Audi, VW, BMW, etc off-road and they...

Hi. I have a 63 plate Prestige and am fairly sure that the headlights or DRLs are flickering slightly when I travel on bumpy roads. Has anyone else suffered from this? TVM.

Hi, just done the survey, but thought I'd add my two-pence worth, having just sold a hybrid to buy a diesel Evoque. At the moment, I would steer well clear of another hybrid. Whilst they are more ec...

Thanks everyone, that would indeed explain the smell, particularly as it seems to happen after I've been stuck behind a tractor or a 40mph lorry, and I suppose I do use the car for short journeys arou...

Got it sorted now. They just unclip at the sides as described above and are hinged top and bottom to make it easy to put new plates in. Thanks for all your help.
