Aston Martin Vanquish owners

[Gal_TT]

Have you experienced any problems with your Vanquish's gearbox or any other parts?

[johnnynumfiv]

I dont think we have any aston martin vanquish owners here.

[CdocZ]

[baddabang]

Yes it seems that I cant get mine out of first gear. :rolleyes:

[d-quik]

my vanqusih farted on my date the other night.

[CdocZ]

i decided to drive "mine" home when i first got it, but the gearbox was too messed up, and i just sold it back to the dealer, so no pics :p (lol, most obvious lie ever right there)

[laxplayer98]

When I bought mine up in Detroit two years ago it wouldn't even run so I had to carry it home in my suitcase.

Do you own an aston because you have asked this question before

[Coventrysucks]

When I got to the factory I'll be sure to ask some difficult questions about it if the opportunity arises.

[6'bore]

But to answer the question I think that they probably will have trouble

[my porsche]

does gall tt own a vanquish?

If Gal TT posts his VIN number you could ask the factory directly :)

[my porsche]

DO IT!!!! that would be awesome, you could get like a transcript of options etc, that is, if he/she has one, the name throws me off, "gal"

[Coventrysucks]

I did kind of mean questions about the gearbox, rather than anyone's ownership of any cars. (Other than myself! DB9 please!)

I meant about his gearbox, the factory will know which production run, what ECU version, the lot and can advise if any faults have been reported on them.

[Gal_TT]

No I don't have a Vanquish. Many people(Jeremy Clarkson) says that the Vanquish gearbox is terrible. I just want to know whether it is really that bad.

Yes..

I doubt it is that bad.

The problem on Top Gear and 5th Gear was probably that VBH tried to slow down from the 200mph attempt using the gears... no, that won't be bad for it at all.

I think all the problem is is that it doesn't shift that smoothly, and isn't as refined as examples from other manufacturers.

The gearbox is better in the S according to evo, but the red car that appeared on TG and 5th Gear was a press car, so might be runnning slightly different software/ setup to the actual production model.

Real mature everyone.

Look, this is one of the most-known car forums on the Internet, so of course, he's going to ask car people if they've had any problems with a specific car.

Gal TT, are you interested in one? To answer your problem, I suggest going and asking an Aston Martin Club. I've seen a few, and the last one I saw had many Vanquish owners. I suggest going here.
This is Aston Martin Owners Club
There is a forum to help you.

one of my ex-schoolmates had a really rich dad, he had a four car garage on the gold coast with ferraris and a vanquish. i'll try and get in contact with her, so i can ask her dad.
