  1. Yes realise that, but want to sell the car in fully working order (unlikely to go in the next few weeks surely) . Will advise the new buyer of it and advise to pull the fuse.
  2. Had a new steering lock fitted today, but need to buy a fuse for it - i bought the wrong size. Can anyone recommend the size/type needed please ?
  3. Hi Guys Recently got my alignment done (first time since i got it) - drives noticeably better now however quikfit said they couldnt adjust the caster. See below is just over 4 degrees on both sides so not miles out but is this an issue? I realise they generally aren't zero on all cars to give some stability, but wondered if this was further out than usual (being red im not sure!) Cheers
  4. 3000 miles on the hankooks now and no better. Getting back on the RE050A's! Changing this coming week. Very disappointed with the hankooks, all over the road at speed its fricken dangerous!
  5. Ok cheers for the advice. I think I'm somewhere near 3, so won't be long before changing. Want to sort the rears first!
  6. Would you recommend the mpss and mps4s over the standard then? Even if I run with the stock 050As on the front for a while first? (eventually I'll change the front two to match)
  7. I'd have thought that in the dry, it'd be the opposite? As nearer slicks are more grippy? Or is it down to the newer tyre being softer (as its newer)? I'm certainly going to find a tougher sidewall next, mpss or back to the originals as that's what the Z's were tuned for I guess.
  8. Yeah i'll see if they bed in over next few hundred miles, sorry Potenzas on the front not P-Zero. They're on the low side which is why the slip light is coming on all the time. But didn't think that'd effect the swaying effect when turning slightly at speed. Will sell the part worn I reckon soon and go back to stock tyres
  9. How odd... Hard to find a bad review about them anywhere.. How many miles have you done on them ? About 100 miles so far, pretty sure I've pulled off the greasy layer now. They stick like glue with traction control off (?) , but with it on it restricts so much I don't really know why (its not losing traction). The characteristics of the car have completely changed and I've only changed rears, I've lost so much confidence with it
  10. Hi all. Just to let you know I got the hankook ventus s1 evo2 's and really not impressed so far. Soft sidewalls mean it now feels very flighty and slow to respond, to any inputs, especially at speed. A lot worse than the p zeros that were on it! Anyone else had bad experiences with hankooks? I'm going to change them as soon as I can
  11. Sorry to dig up an old thread, just that I've the same concerns as OP! I want a good deal of playfulness on back so I don't need to feel I have to push it as hard. Had recommendations of the Falkens 510s, is this a good compromise ?
  12. Photo didn't upload 😕. Oh haven't seen you about yet. Will keep an eye out!
  13. Tesco serpentine car park. Whooooos?
  14. I've got creaking noises coming from the passenger side dash somewhere, its occasional but definitely sounds like plastics. Any of you guys had creaking in the dash?
