Trust me Mark it does make a difference . If your rears are in poor condition and you brake hard in the wet , the fronts will grip , your rears won't therefore your back end will want to overtake the front end . I've experienced this , bit of an arse twitching moment to say the least , lol ...
Problem solved :)
After ringing mytyres the first time and getting through to a call centre to be told they are going to be out stock for a month i called mytyres again and spoke to someone who spoke slightly better english , lol . They are due in a weeks times . £156 plus £5 a tyre fitted...
Yeah right . So he read the link . The link states new tyres to the rear . He said he " won't " be swapping the rears to the front anymore ! Thats the only way to do it , rears to the front and new ones on the back , unless your gonna renew them all round .
You can dilute the fairy power spray down . I'd only use it if your alloys are in good condition though . Never had a problem using it on mine ( touch wood ) ;)
Fairy power spray , best stuff i've ever used , spray on , leave for 10 mins , powerwash off. Or the Blue Rim and Wheel Cleaner that Brand86 recommends is good stuff as well . The wheel guard is good stuff once your wheels are clean as well or top with some collinite 476 wax ...
If its immaculate and your selling private , i'd put it up for around £6250 and expect to be knocked down to around £5800 - £6000 .Always price it slightly higher and put ono , this way the buyer thinks they've knocked you down a bit .
Trade it in at a dealer and expect your heart to be...
You should always have the best tyres on the rear . If you brake hard , especially in the wet , with good front tyres , they will grip and the rears won't , thus the back will slide and want to overtake the front end .
Trust me , i've experienced this , lol ;)
I always move my rears to...
I've seen this problem mentioned a few times . I had the same in my 172 , water in the spare wheel well , under the back seats .
I was told the cure was to remove the 2 black grommets , one either side when you open the tailgate , silicon sealant in the holes and replace the grommets . If...
Tbh if youve had the car from new and had none or very little problems then i wouldn't bother with an extended warranty . They are pretty expensive and you have to weigh up will the cost of the warranty be worth it if you do have a problem in the future that might only cost a few £££'s to fix ...
Like dave says . DL dvd's haven't really taken off . Just compress any film over 4.7gb with no loss of quality . Use clonedvd , rips , shrinks and burns .
I got some of the smoked side repeaters from http://www.body-kit.co.uk/acatalog/renault_megane_side_repeaters.html .
They look bob on , but i had to file a little bit off the back to get them to fit , only took 2 mins though :)
Try one of your local tyre fitters . The one i use said £5 a tyre fitted and balanced .Thats if i can get hold of any bloody michelins at the right price lol.
If you check out www.mytyres.co.uk there is a part where you can check out local tyre fitters .
How long ago ? Was it in the last couple of days ? Cos the woman i spoke to said it could be over a month :( Then again she had trouble understanding me and i had trouble understanding her , lol .
I know costco are good . My ex had a card , if only she wasn't my ex now , lol . Yeah only just over 8k on the michelins , down to 2 mm now so thats why i need em pretty quick at a good price , lol .
Its only 15% off if you only buy 2 tyres . They want £209 fitted :eek: i'm just trying to save a few quid as the set i have on now have only lasted me just over 8000 miles lol , but i want to stick with the michelins as i like the grip especially in the wet :)
I need some new tyres asap . I rang mytyres yesterday and spoke to a woman in a call centre about ordering some PE2's , when eventually she understood what i wanted she said it would be over a month until they had them in stock yet their website says a week until delivery , so i don't want to...
Only thing it doesn't detect is laser , which are becomming illegal soon iirc . Its always worked for me ( touch wood ) especially when i've been in a strange place i've never been before where i didn't know any camera sites :)
I have a talex lite and so do a few other members on here . I'm happy with it .Theres one for sale on here . He wants £60 for it delivered . Thats if it's still for sale ???

Front caliper or rear ? The front just slides out , if you had it connected you could pump your pedal and push it out . Seeing that its not connected you can tap it out using a flat blade screw driver tapping it gently and working around the top of the piston .Put a little bit of grease on the...
You can't buy the exact colour for the turinis . The nearest i could find was rover storm grey . I had some mixed up at bcm auto finishers , not sure i've got the name right , lol .Its up near Training 2000 in Blackburn .
I've since heard that Audi nimbus grey is a good match .
