I have a facelift 06 plate Zed, and am interested in having a sat nav fitted, am i right in saying that it fits into the lift up compartment in the centre of the dash ? can you tell me how much this would cost, and is there a original equipment unit available, and if so does it do more than just the sat nav. thanks. please PM me if you wish. Don

I used chips away, cost me £80 plus vat, they did a great job. rant over. car looking stunning by the way bud, Don

incidentally, I had a devils own job finding Falken 452's with matching tread patterns front and rear. seems like the tyre has been superceeded by the 453, which was also had a tread match issue across the 2 sizes !!! Mental !! Don.

Update; Having read some good, but mainly negative reports about the falken ZE912 tyres, I decided to go with Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta's http://www.vredestein.co.uk/car-tyres/premium-styling/ultrac-sessanta/info/ I had been quoted £600 all in for all 4 Falkens, also including tracking to all 4 corners, and managed to get the same deal elsewhere on the Fred Astaires for £617. with Watling Tyres Ltd. not bad I think, camskill price would be £560.00, and then i would have to pay £50 (valves, disposal, balance & tracking), so all in all very similar price without the delivery hassles and taking the tyres elsewhere to be fitted. So getting them fitted tomorrow I hope. Thanks all for your help and advice, cant wait to drive the zed with new Wellies on. Don.

Then pay over the top for it. Your choice no one is forcing you. Thanks, i appreciate your advice/idea, but cant really go with that to save money, as it would cost me more in time, and thus be more expensive anyway, as i run a business so its not poss. thanks though Don

? 1 its the same really. 2 why not just buy tyres online from camskill, mytyres, black circles etc etc and ask your garage to fit them? +1 Mm, but then i have to lug them down to the local garage, (some of whom are not happy to just fit, so i understand), too much messing about, have to be home to take delivery of said tyres, wont get them in Zed i doubt, and im lazy !!!! lol. Don.

Cheers Arran, thing is mate, i need to use a local firm to fit and carry out a 4wheel tracking, i spoke to some tyre suppliers who just supply, and well mate, i cant be done with a bloke jacking up my motor and fitting at home, cant be as good can it / or lugging them to a garage to fit, then paying the extra. gotta be easier all in ? Don

thats what ive read, theyre okay for family run about cars. Bloody annoying because the tyre place i spoke to, (a customer of mine) gave me the that ol chestnut about how brilliant they are on sports cars etc etc. Then i read the reviews and as you say, okay on the micra or mondeo, crap in light snow, very noisy. positive remarks seem to come from average family car drivers. Okay, back to the drawing board, cancel my verbal order on the falkens i think, back to vreds i think

do you have any contact details dave ? don

guys, i have lots of patience, except when someone gets abusive and call me a DICK !!, totally uncalled for. I am not an engineer or mechanic type of guy, and i have heard rightly or wrongly of wider tyres being put on slightly smaller wheels. in any case isnt a forum all about education, chat and sharing information. so thanks to everyone who have been positive (most, if not all bar one). imho there have been too many squabbles on forums which always end in tears, and lfe is far too short for that. OKAY, I have been getting prices today, and have been surpsised to learn that availability of many of the popular brands is pretty limited in the two sizes (front and rear) if you want to keep the same tread pattern. I ended up with a good quote for 4 vredestein sasseena (or something like that) at £610. fully incl, and incl a 4 wheel allignment. (Watling Tyres) THEN, i was offered from a local garage 4 falken ZE912 s at £600 all in with the alignment. I have said yes to these, but now im home, and have checked the reviews are mixed, some are complete "$hite, dont touch them, and some are wow, theyre great. how confusing lads, on the other hand the Vreds have nothing but praise, so ive answered my own question i suppose, Get the Vreds. Any comments please on the Falken 912, s ?, HELP me, im just a troll after all, (whatever that is) Don

sound like it will be money well spent lads.

yes mate, i cant wait to drive her with a new set of wellies on, should be great !!

arran weve only just met mate !!

yes mate, originals on there 040's, the car has done 22k, so guess they are the tyre that came with the car ?

cool, will make a note, at the mo, there is little tread left on the bridgestones, esp at the edges, and the car is very skittish when you first get going, and it does not improve much, its like driving on cross plys in a classic, you know, like when you used to hit the white lines, all over the shop. plus its a nightmare when wet. don.

ive heard of that where is it (camskill)

maybe £200 at a big push incl vat.

Arran mate, im thinking about £150 each (ish) what do you think ? Don

No, cant think of any Unis, between Tonbridge & Maidstone
