nice one cheers

Need new back brakes on the valver, had some pretty good deals on discs and pads, but all seem very steep for the calipers...just wondered if anyone know's where's best to get em from?!

Spot on. Cheers. I'm like 99% sure it is that....

mk1 ph2 Valver, I think my alt bearing's on the way out. But, how easy is it to diagnose it really is that and 2. How easy is it to sort? It makes a really loud whistle/ squeak and I've had my head in the engine, and its coming from the drivers side, it seems to speed up a little when I put...

This the same as guy as the thread below, with the different speed ratings?

Just take it back and ask to look at all the gauges...Certainly shouldn't make it worse, unless you have a problem with the steering rack. Did it pull or anything before you had it looked at? Thing is, if it's been lowered, the tracking will never be spot on.

no worries

And where is it that you are?! lol Cheers for all the replies guys!

He?! I'm a she!! lol...I have the facility of a 2 or 4 poster lift, so not a problem there. Just never attempted it before...need it doing and pretty sharp ish. Don't mind travelling as long as I can get someone to come with me!

No troubles mate. Hope ya get em sorted! :)

around about 8mm

Has anyone ever attempted one? Are they easy to do? Think mine's on it's way out and been quoted £780 so far

Just wondered cause if ya were anywhere near me I could get ya some cheap tyres and fit em for ya...but as ya not, plan out the window...sorry!

They're one of those things that shouldn't go more than a few times in the life tme of the car. Whats the problem with them? The garage that fitted them did do the tracking aftre fitting?

ballbag...whereabouts ya from mate?

Like Marco said, the Falkens are alright, but they're only a budget tyre, they were never made to last and will probably end up perishing when you still have 4mm of tread left on em! Michelin's are the bees knees, shop around, you'll get em cheap. But if it's one or the other, go for...

Same, but I am quite shy with meeting new people! Was good tho

Bummer. Thanks for the reply tho mate :)

Got a scorpion on the Valver at the moment, was on it when my brother bought the car a good 5 years ago. Now, the baffles in the tail pipe/ back box sound like they've broken down a bit, but was wondering how it would stand on the warranty? Guessing they wouldn't do much to help me cause I'm not...

welcome. Car looks smart!!

I'm a good s**t fit fitter!! haha...you obviosuly got the dopey one, there's one in every depot!!

Pulled in to Total petrol station in Loscoe. Seen a few times with aftermarket wheels, front splitter and side skirt. Pointed at and parked next to my valver today...

Got round to actually paying my subs! :rasp:

good stuff mate! Happy driving...

No troubles, I get a lot of people trying to pull one on me, think a girl can't fit tyres properly. True though, mind you I do that all the time, I'm forever finding new faults with it when washing it. I reckon you might have caught a pothole or something. It might have been a bit more...

Tyre Fitter here, and we can't do something that bad...not with the machineand a lever! May not be a kerb, could be something daft like if the cars lowered, you hit a pothole too quickly...

The Avons are similar to the yokos in that respect. Just find a similar tyre...

Doubt it, but wouldn't hurt to ask. Will it definitely not grip? We get loads in at work and just gotta do it with a shallow socket and be careful, then all ya gotta do is buy a cheap £10 locking nut set...your choice tho. Could screw the loackers up completely. In all fairness, the dealers...

it wont pass MOT with decat on.

Michelins are the best out there, stick with em. Eagle F1s are good for handling and whatever, but due to being a softer compound will wear out much quicker than the michelins...
