Re: Hello

Hi, Welcome to the Forum. Whilst it may suit some, and allows you to swap your car and start over again at the end of the agreement, but we've never liked PCPs - expensive (high interest rates), limited mileage and balloon payment at the end if you want to keep it. We always get a personal bank loan...

Re: Tyre Rotation.

My car had it's third annual service and it's first MoT last week at 13,600 miles. The vehicle health check printout showed that all four tyres had the same 5mm tread depth remaining, so no need to rotate. I too will be choosing a quieter tyre than the original rock hard Bridgestone Turanzas. The q...

Re: Tyre Rotation.

Falken Azenis FK453 CC.

Was going to get them changed on Friday but they only had 3 of the 4 I ordered. Seems they are not readily available down here in Hampshire.

Re: Tyre Rotation.

I've not rotated mine and still have over 2.5mm in the centre of the front tyres after 55,000 miles but the shoulders are down to the minimum and there is a little blistering on them. The rear have about 3mm but one of them has a slight bulge in the middle of the tread. I'm therefore changing all of...

Re: Forum members air con experience

Thank you gentlemen. After all the info from Stedmeister & St3v3cx-3 I've just check mine. Still white with a few seed husks. Nothing to worry about.😎 But worth knowing all the same.

Re: Mobile Phone Mount

Re: dash cams

Just upgraded my dash cam to a Nextbase 522GW and rear view camera. Quality is very good from both cameras and the rear does work well without the problem of wiring in. The only negative are: The rear view camera adds width to the installation and it is quite tight getting it into the best position ...

Re: premium v regular unleaded

From what I see from various posts it can vary dramatically. Some people can't seem to get more that 40mpg, some over 50mpg.

Re: Hello and Advice

Yes, go for the Sports Nav petrol. HUD is great, and better on the newer models.

Re: premium v regular unleaded

I use Morrisons Regular in all my cars and have done for years. As for engine noise, I cannot hear any as it is is drowned out by the road noise, which ruins the driving experience. and the repeated droning of the same point :D haven't you changed your tyres yet :roll: The only droning is from the ...
