    Goodyear tyre issues from new (and other manufacturers)

    This has been me over the past couple of weeks :rolleyes: However, Halfords have now refunded all 4 tyres and they are being removed tomorrow. Just need to find an offer on PS5's or CS7's now.

    Goodyear tyre issues from new (and other manufacturers)

    Goodyear tyre issues from new (and other manufacturers)

    So the tyres were swapped on Friday. It is MUCH better now, although there is still a slight vibration through the seats at 70-80mph which i'm pretty sure wasnt there before. There is also a chunk out of my freshly refurbed wheel as the 225 tyre was rather stretched onto the 8.5J rim and an...

    Goodyear tyre issues from new (and other manufacturers)

    Yeah, its the mobile balancer in the back of the Halfords van. May have found some of the problem tonight, after sending him a load of photos of the car, just well looking a bit weird, @TheEvilGiraffe suggested that i check the correct wheels were fitted front/rear (staggered setup). Passenger...

    Goodyear tyre issues from new (and other manufacturers)

    Seems i now have to deal with this @Danith. 4 x Eagle F1 6’s fitted to the 335i by Halfords on Monday and it feels like im driving on rocks. Seats, steering wheel, dash, basically the whole car shakes at anything over 60mph. Its horrendous. They are re-balancing them today; but expect no...

    Any ideas on how to get my 100k mileage Clio RS trophy to pass its MOT on emissions?

    I had that with the TT. Changed sensor. Mot passed.

    Subscriptions... what you got!?

    Wouldnt imagine so. Mum can obviously watch BBC / iPlayer when she is here though, because she has a tv licence & iPlayer login.

    I just cancelled it online. They did actually come round to check a few months later, so i invited them in and showed them my lack of TV aerial (its a new build house).

    Insurance Problems - Factory Fitted or Modification

    Thats just a 197 with the cup pack, inc. red calipers, speedlines and cup spoiler. Would have come from the factory like it.

    How much %age increase!

    Our Admiral multi-car went from £1k last year to £1.5k, now back down to £1.2k after some “negotiation”. TT pretty much stayed the same at £200, but the mini doubled (due to the windscreen claim no doubt) and the X5 went up 25% because, well, its an X5.
