Nobody knows what is going to happen and I think the main damage will be economic. Top tip(even for normal life without the current crisis): Sit down and work out what you would do if made redundant tomorrow or your income reduces and act accordingly. Have an emergency fund to tide you over...

Been running Michelin Pilot Sport 4 for 18 months and cannot fault them.

Recently I have had a strange whirring resonance which I noticed off throttle. Thought it was speed related but then realised it was at 2200rpm. In the recent cold weather the tyre pressures have dropped 5psi all round. Inflated tyres and the noise has gone. (Suspect the garage may of adjusted...

Late reply. £35.51 for the oil, £45 for the labour plus vat so £96. Same as Audi would charge but they only change the oil.

Just had mine done at a Indy for peace of mind , 3 years and 22k miles. He said it did not need done and only had a couple of bits of carbon in it. 90% of the time my car has a easy life.

I learned to avoid "that company" many years ago when I bought a Saxo VTS and they refused to fix the quality problems with it. I have since checked the parent company of any garage I deal with to make sure there is no connection. Good priced cars though and if you don't have a problem its...

Running Michelin Pilot Sport 4's 225/40 r18 running standard pressures-ish. Actually 34psi front, 37psi rear. They have done at least 5k miles and still 5mm all round. I make good progress so am really happy with the rate of wear. Sure there are stickier tyres out there but its my daily...

Wow! My rear wheel drive car tyres lasted longer than that and they are softer. :-) Inspired by this thread on the way home from work on quite wet roads I was trying to get my car rear end to break traction or do anything other than under steer without success. Absolutely no rear end issues...

Did you physically check the tyres when you bought the car? The only timer I had more wear on the rear is when I swapped the tyres from front to back. I am currently running PS4's and like them. They really come to life when it more than 10 degrees outside but were still fine through last...

To get the radio track its just right press of MMI control and scroll to radio text and select it.

My 2016 car is has done 18k and the rear discs only are really badly scored and corroded but pads have lots of wear left. As its a second car it can sit for a few days so they get rusty. I suspect the discs are made of chocolate.

Standard clutch. Just realised it was only happening when still rolling forward slowly. Will monitor.

Anyone noticed a slight vibration from the clutch at the bite point ? Only happens after 5 minutes in start stop traffic. I cannot get it to do it when just driving around.

On my FL car you can select reverse and the handbrake releases automatically or press the foot brake and release the handbrake manually without the seatbelt on. Was very confusing at the start.

I was going to get my rear brakes done for the same reason and was quoted £380. ( 2016 15k miles) My car sits around for a few days at a time so they rust. Car goes in for the service and was advised they may need looked at next service. I concluded I will change the whole lot when the pads are...

Surprisingly DL were the cheapest by far for my Exige and have been competitive the last two years. Got some scary quotes and bit their hand off at renewal.

Direct Line upped my insurance to a similar price this year and would not budge when I called them. Ended up going with the Halifax who charged slightly less than DL last year. 44, nine years no claims and clean licence.

Garbage was the wrong word ( Americanism's sneaking in to the Queens English. I am in the UK, no idea of cost :-) ) weak point would be better. They are made of brittle plastic and can be effected by carbon and have various modes of failure. Don't know if there is a non oem replacement, think it...

My 2p. Know you have inspected it but would it not be worth changing the PCV valve and seals regardless of it looking ok? They are garbage. The duct gets damaged too.

My fuel consumption has dropped noticeably with the cold weather over the last couple of weeks. The fuel tank range really drops which I assume is down to the poor initial MPG. Its gone from 38-40 on my run to work to 33mpg-ish. Start/ stop does not kick in , heated seat on and slow to get to temp.
