It was loose , i doubt the garage sorting the gearbox touched it. Threads could be shot and were when you bought it but it certainly wasnt the air filter

Designed for drive wheels only

Just a bit of a summary on this , and after reading the other thread it seems all over the place. Summer tyres - you will no doubt survive but if you come across a hill or other people stuck most likely you will be too , the further south you are the more likely you are to rely on them unless...

Another driver risking a fine for not clearing the roof as its an offence lol

reality is you would never own a set unless you maybe lived in the far reaches of scotland though ..... they are a pain on roads not covered in ice or snow ..... from personal experience.

Your information is incorrect .It is not illegal to use studded tyres in the uk in apropriate conditions. And you might find speculation but you wont find any law that states you cant . And a quick google finds my belief confirmed on pistonheads

Yes you are supposed to stop and take them off Drive on tarmac with socks and they shread thats where chains are better . However if you that worried would you not fit winter tyres I have a set of Maggi Trak sport chains as they can be adjusted to fit all our cars .....

Parking cuts will not fail an mot , that area of the tyre is normally just a rim protector to serve as a buffer to rim damage , most garages would glue that down rather than stick a new tyre on. if you have a bulge then the structure of the carcass is damaged and you risk a blowout something...

I would not say its s**t as it lasts a full day just ....and yes i charge then run flat ..... I can run extended batteries down ....

I now have my lg g2 .... much bigger battery and i can still kill it in a day .... some people use phones A LOT !! thats why they comment on battery life

People getting 2 day on a phone with a battery that size dont need a phone ...... imho obviously

Dont have much time

hard to tell only tracked it once at a hot bedford on soft contisports

Not got that anymore .... but we have a cup as a runaround .... just need to get some stiff walled track tyres for it ... just running my geo settings 20mm and 10mm spacers ... cooksports and fully rebuilt suspension

Nice to come across someone who understands the compromises I got to the point I needed a dedicated track car so built and developed this Carbon .... 500kgs and 230 bhp

You will also learn and feel what changes do ... having an understanding of what settings do helps inprove driving believe it or not

I have had to explain that to techs doing geo more times than I care to mention which is why like you I had all my own kit

you might want to calculate that again ;) it would be balanced but near enough -2 degs .............. 1 degree = 60 arc minutes , so 1deg 51' is 1 degree 51 minutes , half a degree is 30 mins his LR camber is near as damit spot on ..... And sorry to be pedantic because your advice has...

Joking and poking you aside I am glad you admitted your speed ... when a driver admittsca speed its very often higher. Know doubt you will understand that maybe a slower aproach to a blind bend may have been more appropriate . Therevare also many advanced driving techniques that would change...

Its just an opinion not turning against him ......

go on in all seriousness how fast were you going ? , if you can be honest 50 ? 60 ? and you say you ended up in a ditch ? why is the side of the car not trashed , as cars and ditches mostly end up as panel damage. or did another car come towards you round a corner when you were driving...

that old favourite of RWD hero's diesel ....... i rode bikes for years ...never saw diesel , i drive 40k + a year , can't remember the last time i saw a diesel spill that would cause a huge accident ........ i have however seen pictures of loads of cars that have hedge/ditched or generally...

on the other hand i have heard of umpteen ditch incidents when some clown apparently came the other way ............huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmm

Sounds like I was lucky

All came off easy enough ... one needed a mallet but had both swapped in half an hour

Fit the right pads and they dont glaze on track either

You will get noise however when you replace them dont bother getting the same again as there is no benifit andblots of negatives

Never ..... the time you can't think of anything other than the driver is the time to walk away ;)

I think you could have something tony .... rear was obviously not optimised :-) Or we will just blame the tyres ;-)

Yep ... god job its only half an hours work to fit new ones with spacers
