Yukon XL AC barely cools in Sharjah traffic and I've already been to two shops that just shrugged and regassed it

I'm at my absolute wits end with this 2015 Yukon XL Denali that I use to haul the kids and all their stuff around Sharjah because the air conditioning has been getting weaker and weaker over the last few months to the point where if I'm stuck in the afternoon crawl on King Abdul Aziz Street the ...

ZF 6 speed in my LR4 just gave up the ghost in the middle of Sharjah and I'm stranded at a petrol station

I was literally just trying to grab a karak and some petrol at the ADNOC on Al Dhaid Road before heading home to Al Nahda and when I went to put my 2011 LR4 into drive the shifter moved but nothing happened, just revs and no movement like it was in neutral, and then after about fifteen seconds of ...

Eyeing a 2016 GT but the Carfax looks too clean and that's making me suspicious

Been browsing Dubizzle for weeks now trying to find a clean 5.0 that hasn't been absolutely thrashed around Jebel Jais every weekend and I finally stumbled on a 2016 GT that looks almost too good to be true, low kms and the seller sent me some shiny pics of it parked in a villa garage but when I ...

Small warehouse in Ajman – where to find decent plastic pallets without getting ripped off?

I run a little storage unit business on the outskirts of Ajman and I’m finally ditching these old wooden pallets that keep splintering and attracting god knows what kind of bugs, so I’ve been shopping around for plastic ones that can handle forklift abuse without cracking. Someone told me to look ...

Suspension on my daily driver feels like it's about to rattle my teeth out

Suspension on my daily driver feels like it's about to rattle my teeth out, where do I even start in Dubai without getting fleeced?


I've got a 2015 Altima that I've been using to commute from Mirdif to Jebel Ali for the last three years and somewhere along the way the ride just went from ...

Fiat 500 Abarth battery gave up in a Jumeirah Beach Road traffic jam, never been so embarrassed in my life

I don't know if I should laugh or just sell the car at this point but yesterday I'm sitting in the usual evening gridlock near the Burj Al Arab with the little Abarth burbling away and the AC thankfully keeping me from melting and then the stop start kicks in at the lights and when I go to press the ...

Looking at an older V8 Vantage in Abu Dhabi, how thorough is the pre purchase inspection for these things really?

I've been eyeing a 2009 V8 Vantage that's popped up for sale privately over on Reem Island and the price is actually within reach for a change which has me both excited and deeply suspicious at the same time because we all know the running costs on an older Aston can get a bit silly if you buy the ...

Finally got the Mustang detailed properly in Abu Dhabi and the difference is actually kind of shocking

I've been babying my 2019 GT since I got it but the paint was starting to look a little dull no matter how many times I washed it myself in the garage with the two bucket method and fancy microfiber mitts and honestly I was starting to think maybe the Shadow Black was just never going to look as ...

S4 gearbox hesitation at low speeds, anyone had a good experience with a transmission shop in Dubai?

Been noticing something weird with my B9 S4 over the last few weeks where it's not exactly slipping but when I'm just easing through the Marina traffic around 20 to 30 kph it feels like it can't quite decide which gear it wants to be in and there's this faint shudder that wasn't there before, I've ...

Huracan oil change due and the dealer wants a small fortune, anyone actually used this indy shop in Dubai?

So my 2018 Huracan LP610 just hit the mileage for its annual service and I called the dealer out of morbid curiosity to get a quote, and the number they gave me was so high I actually asked the guy to repeat it because I thought I misheard him, and nope, they really do want over four thousand ...
