  2. Its what I was planning but josh text me and said the border comes unstuck.
     
  3. Makes it look even more like a race car! lol love it!
     
  4. Fixed my passenger window reg and gave it a wash
     
  5. Gave it a rare clean!
     
  6. That's a real shame. :-(
     
  7. uploadfromtaptalk1407665749214.jpg

    Fitted my new lights yesterday. Took me ages to find these and even longer to get around ro fitting them haha.
     
  8. What off the 265?
     
  9. Said fairwell for a few days :-(

  10. What happened Chris? Nothing too serious i hope?
     
  11. Narh nothing serious chap. Some surface rust on the boot lid so gone back under warranty.
    Worth checking.

  12. Under warranty? Didn't think it'd still be covered!

    I had my aircon re-gassed today, finally working aircon. Lets see how long it lasts.
     
  13. Corrosion covered for quite a while, way beyond the 3/4 years warranty on the mechanicals.
     
  14. I ordered 2 tyres for front axle.
     
  15. Yer think corrosion is like 12 years
     
  16. Does that still count if it's bought privately?
     
  17. That's what I was wondering
     
  18. Mine is exactly the same... Popping in tomorrow
     
  19. Yes it counts even if the car is sold on privately. My warrenty runs out in 2020.
     
  20. That's handy to know!
     
  21. Would that warranty cover a rusted door then? The dealer I had it in for some work with, that I asked about the door, mentioned nothing about that warranty.
     
  22. Front tyres fitted. Dunlop Sport Maxx RT.
     
  23. Just finished cleaning/polishing my car! Now time for feet up, beer in hand and watch Man United :smile: haha
     
  24. Cleaned the wheels then snow foamed then the clouds came.

  25. That's what I've got on the front of my r26 at the moment, they are good but I just don't have the same confidence in them as I do for ps3's
     
  26. How about handling when wet? It was mine the most important criteria, and on a label they scored better than PS3.
     
  27. Ps3 are A rated wet no?

    ps2 has always been the best road tyre for me hence why i got two for £98 each in 235's last week!
     
  28. You are right. But according to label it is more noisy and not fuel efficient.

    Anyway, what do you think about those labels? Are they accurate?
     
  29. Better reading actual real life reviews, www.tyrereviews.co.uk search by your tyre size get decent feedback. Looks like worst aspect on yours are wear
     
  30. Thank you. I will read it.
     
  31. If you wanted a brilliant wet handling tyre then you should of gone for the pilot super sport, it's spooky how good try are, did a very very wet track day on them, never even bought the traction light on just nailed it all round the twisties of Cadwell, if I were to buy road tyres then I'd buy nothing else, when we got back to the pits the inside of the tyres was red hot and I mean in pouring down rain, have a read of a review, I was blown away.
    £125 each fitted
     
  32. Thank you. I will consider PS3 or PSS next time. I was always using Primacy HP and later Primacy 3 on my Scenic and Laguna and I was happy with them.

    How can you get those tyres so cheap? I checked on lovetyres and blackcircles and they were above £200 per unit.
     
  33. f1's are my wet tyre choice.
     
  34. I can actually get pilot super sports for £94 inc vat from my mate who is a manager at a local formula 1 center , but through the books their £125 each fitted
     
  35. What size is that? 225 or 235?
     
  36. Only do 225's why is a shame

    they are just over £100 on camskill last time i checked
     
  37. Could you give me links to those prices. I was checking online and I never found one so cheap. It sound impossible to get those tyres nearly half price. I did need 235/35 R19.
     
  38. Took mine in today to get looked at and they took details and service history so should hear back in two weeks tops.
