What's the reason for it only becoming noticeable in 3rd gear? I only ask as I have another car with a different problem but that only shows up in 3rd gear (or 4th at triple figures as I discovered the other day lol). OP I think this is just a massive coincidence... our Avant is on 105k and is...

Its a 5l tank for the washers by the way... I only comment as I filled ours from empty the other day and it took just under 5l to completely full - which seems logical as the tank wasn't completely empty. The tank it self doesn't appear to be easily accessible and seems to be towards the back...

Im also tempted by this... My concern though is even with the standard jet type the pressure isn't very high and they struggle to give good coverage. Not sure if its a weak pump or if the system is slightly blocked? Has anyone else experienced this?

I've got 15mm rear and had 10mm on the front. Word of warning though - you should use hub-centric spacers to ensure the wheels are correctly aligned. This is fine on 12mm and thicker but 10mm spacers aren't quite thick enough to keep their strength/integrity and this is what happens; I...

+1 for the ac... It takes moisture out of the air so makes a big difference to fogging issues!

/\ that looks great!!!

Assuming you're on et43 currently then 13mm rear and 8mm front is about the limit IMO I have aftermarket rims at et45 and have 15mm rear and 10mm front... so, the above specs would deliver the same fitment as this (effective et30 rear and et35 front): hope that helps?

Mines an exec... Believe DAB, AMI, cruise and phone prep were included in the spec - I didnt know it may have included the Alcantera seats but we have them so could have also been included under the 'executive' extras!

I can completely relate to your post... I toyed with the idea of springs but as we already have the S Line springs (-30mm) it works out to be a lot of money for negligible difference. keep us posted as to what you find out :)

Not speaking from experience but my understanding is that the standard 'sport' springs as fitted to the S Line models and ADS suspension both sit 20m lower than SE suspension. Only the optional S Line springs give you -30mm...

I'm on an effective ET30 rear and ET35 front and they sit fine if you ask me (although mine may be 10mm lower than yours)... just get them ordered ;)

Cheers guys, wheels are 8.5x19 ET45 with 15mm rear and 10mm front spacers... :)

Thanks! Ride quality is very good - you learn to avoid big bumps and go very slow over speed humps but generally it soaks up the road surface very well :)

took these a couple of weeks ago while the weather was still nice...

Dark grey on red will look good but you need to have a black grill and window trims to complete the look IMO...
