Osram Nightbreaker.

JustMatz - custom car mats that YOU design

Nightbreakers have the edge for me. The light was slightly less-white that x-treme power, but visibility was slightly better. Both are way better than standard.

If it helps; the police only really stop cars if the snow is really bad. They are pretty efficient about cleaning the snow from the roads in resorts, so the roads are only really a problem after (and during) a big dump. One useful tip is that you can get snowchains cheaply at supermarkets, and...

The insurance thing is a load of so and so. You wouldn't tell your insurance company if you changed brand of tyres from, say, Dunlops to Continentals. So why for winter tyres? Secondly the association of British insurers has released a statement saying that insurers should not load premiums, and...

If you, ahem, 'know where to look' you can download ETKA off the internet. Apparently.

It's one of those things that 'they' don't recommend. Like smoking; not recommended but lots of people do it! In all seriousness; having winter tyres on the fronts is much better than no winter tyres, but if you have the cash it's worth getting two pairs.

On the mk5 golf GTI you can't fit normal thickness snowchains over the 17" and 18" wheels. So you can get 'winter wheels for Golf GTI' to quote directly from ETKA. These take 205/55r16 tyres. So on the Golf 16" wheels fit over the brakes. I'm not sure about R32/S3 brakes though. There is...

I'd be interested to see what these are like at night. I found that the Philips Extreme power, although whiter, were actually worse than Halfords Super Brilliance in 'the real world.' (I'm more interested in that than how white/blue they look)

On the sticker in your handbook and in the boot next to the spare wheel there is a sticker with lots of three letter/digit codes. These tell you what should be fitted to your car. You can decode them on this site http://igorweb.org/equidec/Default.aspx This will tell you if it should have...

Didn't they say that about the last one, giving way to the current one? The current one has noticably less of a quality feel than the last.

I fixed a squeak in the Lady's Polo by spraying silicone spray into the hinge area and up into the seat back. I found the tip on uk-mkivs so might work on an A3 as well.

Autoglym vinyl and rubber care is good. Spray it onto a cloth first then wipe if you don't want a shiny finish. Its good for matt and shiney surfaces. If the surfaces are really dirty then I find upholstery cleaner is good. For the clear plastic just use glass cleaner. If the surface is...

I find cruise good on the two sets of roadworks with speed cameras on the M1; much less of a gamble.

You don't normally get automated tickets, the way it works is that they catch you with a radar/laser gun, then radio ahead to more police at the toll gate, then you get pulled over on the way out. Much easier and safer to stop you there when you are already going slow... On the last peage...

I reckon the rain is at fault.

Nice. There's a fine line between tasteful and tasteless!

Another way to look at it is that only the police that need fast cars get them, so saving money. The rest get cheapo Astras and Foci. West Yorkshire police used to have a fleet of Protons...

They are also out regularly in Impreza, in dark green metallic.

Another way to look at it is that if the oil is dark in colour then it is doing (one of) its jobs.
