lol, managed 120 with 2 boards on top on the way down to devon last year... kept checking the shadow to make sure they were still there.

interesting indeed! the ones I ordered are 83w, so same load rating... just the faster speed.

Today about 3:30, turning off by tesco at Milbrook. Liquid yellow R27. I was a few cars back so couldn't wave... but then you pulled off anyway.

they're the same.

cash monies. I owe nobody nothing, but renting this flat is a waste of money.

I'm not arguing they're the best tyre in the world, just that the W's are cheaper than the V's. There's another pinned thread to discuss which is the best in the world ;)

They should have all had the auto lights and wipers. JULY 2002 - ESP fitted as standard NOV 2002 - Multi CD becomes optional NOV 2002 - Price reduced to £14595 DEC 2003 - Production Fin. Optional Extras: SatNav - £1500 CD Changer - £300 Pre-Telephone Equipment - £100

yes, this is what I've been askign the tyre places. I was told that the difference in feel would be the same as putting the pressure up by less than 1psi in the V rated ones. In other words, you would be hard pushed to notice the difference in feel.

Right, I've been doing some research... Normally I (and most others on here?) would buy the V rated PE2 for the 182. These are for speeds up to 149 mph. However, I have been ringing round for quotes and have been told by nearly every place that strangely, the W rated version is quite a bit...

proper engineering right there!

Running joke with my MOT centre... every year its failed on the number plate bulb! 70p a pop!

optional extra in the 182. Or, just do what I did and pinch it out of my old Ph1 172 before trading it in ;)

how is it pointless? The point you think is missing is the following: Its winter. Temps drop during the winter and there's a high chance of snow/ice on the roads. Winter tyres are designed to perform in these conditions. If you decide not to run winter tyres thats your choice, but they're far...

cruise was introduced in 2003, and the cd changer was deleted.

those quotes seem reasonable.

ignition to on, flick them on and off twice and listed for the beep. The early ones didnt come with them during the transition from the Ph1 172. They don't have Cruise Control, either.

I roffled at that too. Its a big secret.

I give up.

my roof bars

sorry, I meant you car looks very high from that pic on page 1. The non-cupped ones always do even though the difference is supposed to be minimal :S

LOL sssshhhhh ;)

It will only show up on the HPI if it's been written off. It could have still been damaged in a crash and pass the HPI test.

I'm not pointing any fingers here... but a lot of them talk bulls**t tbh. Insurance fronting is still very common, even with the recent publicity around it.

25, 7yrs NCB, B rated postcode, 0 points, 1 Fault claim for £3000 182 quote through Chris Knott = £510 :)

Indeed. Car's could have also been repaired without even going through insurance and still look perfect afterwards.

As long as the price reflects the fact they've previously been written off, I wouldn't have a problem buying one. Saying that, I would only buy a D, not a C.

is it a secret who you got the quote from?

suspension looks broken in the first pic... far too low.

43k and nothing... oh wait, does smashing into a taxi and having the front end rebuilt count as being fixed?

I hate to ask for it... but did that pic of the burning v6 reveal any of the base panels?
