04 plater at about 1925 today heading onto the A442 dual-carriageway at trench lock! You won't have seen me as I was in my father-in-laws Jazz :o

Thought I'd try this as have run out of AG shampoo! Very impressed, foams up well and car took less time to dry as well! Patrick at Demon Tweeks reckoned Megs is a step up from AG (lasting longer) with Zymol even better again! Seems to be the case, so far so good

Danny...just say you bought a cheapie and it was really good! Then refer everyone to Rich for a paint restoration booking! Take 10% commision for yourself.....Lol

It was happening though...shame no one was checking! The briefing fell on some deaf ears unfortunately...

More dust than standard I reckon, but shall see how it goes as I would expect more on track anyway.

...goes good! Well infact...stops well!! Very impressed, 400 miles on the road before Brands trackday. Didn't fade at all and plenty of feel/bite I thought.

^^me too...got them for £35 from Demon Tweeks! Apparently Mintex are really promoting hard, hence the price at the moment! I gather they are comparable with EBC greens or Ferodo DS2000's so shall fit them tomorrow and see how it goes...

Mine arrived today too....looking forward to a good read on holiday!! :D Shall make me miss the 182 even more:(

Saw tom and his girlfriend (can't remember name, sorry!) crossing high street at 7.30...going out on the town!!

cheers Rich...but why they used my surname throughout I don't know, very regimental!! Shan't mind when the book deals roll in though...Lol

^^think when they are actually flat/smooth from the tread across to the indicator then thats 1.6mm.

...or buy a tyre depth gauge, cheap enough and then you know for sure what they are!

^^done well to get that out of tyres...assuming fronts of course!

I think the police would measure the tread depth rather than relying on the wear indicators! I assume they are at 1.6mm but wouldn't rely on it myself. Karen...did Oulton park ok on front tyres that were fairly new...about 1000 miles! As said, if it's wet it could get interesting!! Depends...

Both grips on mine (14K/15 months old) started to peel away during the heat! (bottom outside edges) Have glued them back down with epoxy resin tonight so shall see how it goes. Sometimes it seems easier to fix problems myself than keep going back to the dealer!! Shouldn't be having these poor...

Inside..as you say it wouldn't last long on the outside!

Maz...be interested to hear how you get on with DS2500's if you go for them. My standard pads did fade a bit on track and I've been considering these pads! :)

^^used a brush to agitate/apply the AG interior shampoo. On top of washing with washing up liquid/hot water yesterday am pleased with results....good luck!

Thanks!...must get on with it now...

Especially when my cars on the same track!

any ideas on the best method...realized the other day how grubby the silver seatbelts have got! Tried scrubbing with hot water and washing up liquid with limited success... Cheers

knew you were messing...good advice there i reckon!

^^apologies for being an old fart;)

I wouldn't use tyre dressing before the trackday....

Sounds like the road surface to me, especially if it's a one off. Worth checking nothings loose though for peace of mind...wheel balancing is another possibility!

Just paid £155 for a new wheel for mine from Renault...already had a tyre! Didn't think it was too bad a price and reassuring to know it will fit fine and avoids the risks of buying a second hand wheel!

Yeah...took my own oil so they knocked off £55! Paid £161 in the end.

Thursday afternoon heading out of Shifnal and this morning by tesco garage...was in the Zafira today so you're forgiven for not waving;)

Manual recommends 33psi front and 30 back for a 182!
