To be honest were not outlaying much £££ really and I can't be arsed to look anymore saying that the cayenne is in Romford and I'm in Blackpool so it's a fair treck and a V8 will still be to powerful for her for her run to bingo

to be fair depending on what age your looking at the 4.5s has alot of engine related horror stories, where as the 3.2 and 4.5turbo have no bad reports, i looked into getting one when i got the ml but wanted the 4.8

Yep I've read the bigger engine problems it's a 06 plate 3.2.

is the 3.2 the vag group one in the tt, r32 etc, if so is a well proven unit, i think i would steer clear of the 4.5
