    Tyre of choice these days? any brand or type standing out?

    Brilliant mate, thanks for that. I have to agree. I know last time I was in the same boat and the Assy's won me over. I can get them for £184.00 the pair, fitted and balanced, but at F1 Autocentres :/ May hunt around for a mobile place close to that price, last time they forgot to balance...

    Hi all! So about a year later, and I need two more tyres. The Assy 2's have done about 10k miles and still looking like new, the Conti 3's on the back are even closer to the limit than a year ago, were an advise on the MOT and I have a Santa Pod trip and airport run coming up so want to get...

    Well ive had my Assy 2's on about a month now, I have really really booted or pushed it in the wet then just tonight, and I must say the roads seem damp and greasy as I went round a roundabout a bit quick and the back slid a little, so when I then gave it some in 2nd on the straight the n/s...

    How did the fitting go with this mate? I got Halfrauds to change a bulb on the misses car last week, as I done the other side last year which was the easier one...it took two of them 35 minutes! Makes the £6.99 worth it, lol

    By any chance does anyone have a photo or could possibly take a photo of their tyre wall with Assy 2's please?! Reason being, when I was searching I noticed some places still doing the Assy 1 about £100 ish and the Assy 2 about £115 ish, so just wanted to make sure I am getting the right ones...

    Emission Control Light on less than 500 miles after injector recall

    Emission Control Light on less than 500 miles after injector recall

    Andy - I had an brand new inlet manifold on mine, I actually saw it and there were about 2 and 1/2 flaps missing! plus looked all knackered one end...it made no difference what so ever, they did a smoke test and it was leaking for sure but the car and DPF issues were still there, I really do...
