fred, what pressures you think i should run on the parada?
im at 28 all round at the min i believe (thats how they were when they were fitted)
should i pump the fronts up to 30?
mate has paradas on 18s on his throttlebodied nitrous astra gsi and he runs 30/28 i think
turn key so dash lights up (but dont start engine)

They won't come on if it's raining either, so I guess they haven't read Roadcraft...
mine have come on in the day when its raining, once the wipers went onto llike fullspeed they switched on, then switched off after the rain had eased off?
ive never had a problem with them and they come...
the alarm beeping is a common problem, the dealer tried to fix it on my 12k service and didnt, so its off back in on monday for it.

Bad:
1) Rattles from dash and doors and various places
2) Driver's seatbelt has lost abit of its re-coil ability. if its got a slight kink in it it will just hang loose.

i know the majority are rough and lumpy when their cold (i.e. left overnight) and especially now the weathers getting worse, but ive started noticing mine 'whines' quite a bit when its cold. sounds a bit like its supercharged or something. lol

those little reccesses are there to 'avoid' the existing screw heads in the bottom of the bumper
all you do is push the splitter up and bend it slightly to fit the shape of the bumper, drill pilot hole and use the self tappers to hold it on.
the way i did it was work out from the middle to...
my sisters 1.2 clio (52 plate) died too, seemed like the batt was dead but nothing had been left on, it wouldnt 'jump' off either. AA man came, tested the battery and it seemed to be in good condition, checked the car and it didnt have any power drain from the battery so no wring fault caused...
oh, did i hear someone mention falken ze512's?? they are aweful
theyre brilliant on REALLY low cars as they have a very curvy sidewall so enable you to have big wheels on a really low car with minimum scrubbing, but theyre dreadful for driving on.
i fitted 2 to the rear of my old 106 as it...

on a trackday a lad in a type r with, im guessing, at least an exhaust and induction kit (cos it sounded like a motorbike) told my mate he couldnt keep up with me on the straights in my standard 182.
but then again he did have an extra 9 stone or so from a girlfriend in the pass seat.
i'd...
mine used to use a bit of oil, had to top it up with about 600ml once, but since the 12k service it hasnt used any and has stayed bang on the max line.
this has happened to me twice now..
once about5k miles ago, and again this morning.
after i used my brakes the EPS abs and serv lights came on
both times i just switched ignition off and its gone away, should i get it into a dealer?
