You're right, Matt, they feel fine in practise
Funny enough tho' it started raining while they were fitting them and it hasn't stopped since, it that supposed to happen?
What pressure do you use?
I'll check them soon and try 32psi ...?
One observation: these CrossClimates are only available in XL [Extra Load] so a bit boot and braces for us but at least i'll be okay putting on a few pounds come the festive chocolate eating season
Debs
The OE tyres on my abarth 500 are XLs too, not sure what "load" its referring to as the car is v.light ?

Here you go dude. Gen 5 "what to look for" post

Surely if normal parking sensors beep then you should stop anyway?, so if he did think that, why didnt he stop?
He was waiting for the beeps to get louder and closer together

Did somebody say flock?
As I read the first few posts I was about to suggest your flocking services Ant but you beat me to it.
... What's with the 2 airfreshners tough ?!??!? :-)
-
I think it's a bad idea. Took my car for an mot and the guy nearly reversed it into a wall until I shouted.. He thought the beep was rear parking sensors !!!

Welcome back. I remember you.. Mainly because I always wondered if your username was "plank" or "plan c" :-)

If it does go through expect the other party to challenge the mot which will as a minimum delay any payout and likely lead to a discussion over liability with them not offering to pay the full 100%
Also you'll have to pay your excess and won't get it back until it's settled and third party insurer pays out. Given the value of the claim it seems like a lot of hassle. I'd get them to pay in advance and have done with it.
If you really have injuries then it's worth claiming but otherwise this isn't an open and shut case so could be a slow process and you might not win. Be aware too that a company lawyer could easily overrule your email from the "claims advisor" (who is probably a very junior staff member) all they have to say is that her comment was made without full knowledge of all the facts

Hey John
Re my reply to your other thread. If you do go see martin at mk he does tyres too and he was cheaper than anywhere in Chester too. Based on the car you have I assume you'll be avoiding budget tyres, I got pirreli and the price was spot on
-
I can understand the frustration mate, nothing worse than a car not running right, especially when you've just paid for it doing.
Hope you get it sorted soon

Yeah, 2 friends had there's rolled at different places a few years ago and within 18 months both had rust. I suspect they'd cracked the paint when rolling
-
Make sure its done right. Seen various cars with rusty arches as a result of bad arch rolling jobs
-
They were never sold in the u.k so you'd be reliant on the dvla registering them all correctly as they arrive... which they never do.How can you check how many sports ms
They were a limited run, then only imported in small numbers. Must the the rarest of the 7s

I heard some advice a few years ago about preserving your battery in the winter especially if the car's being used for shorter journeys in the main. Switch off all electrics and maybe give a couple of light blips of the throttle or let the engine run for a few seconds and THEN turn off the engine. I'd imagine most batteries are pretty resilient if they're treated well in winter.
I was always told by my dad to turn the lights off once I'm on the driveway. That extra few seconds with the car running nothing but the engine before you switch it off really helps apparently

Euro car parts don't sell rear hubs or banana arms?
I can sell front wishbones with updated poly bushes for less than euro car parts wishbones.

I wouldnt worry besty, it seems slys current plan is to be annoying on this type of thread. He's all over mixer72 on his similar thread in another section.

Its a glowing example of what these cars can do

I'm seeing a few "camps" emerging here and it looks like I'll straddle both.
32 and work in tech for a bank as a project manager.
I got my gen 7 a 3 years ago and ran it for 18 months, now driving a diesel estate as I have a kid and dog.
However, as soon as said kid can get in and out of a gen 7 on his own I'm getting another.
So I'll fall into the late 20s wanting something cool looking and quick ish, and hopefully also into the mid 30s returning to cool cars after a few years of boring family estate cars
-
Airbags are pretty important, whilst some of the above look nice in a head on of rather have the airbag !
-
Your not the only one who's had this thought.
I went with the 7 rather than the 6 for 1 reason and 1 reason only. Cars don't last forever, even well built ones rust.
-
I think the answer is to return to the supplier for adjustment dude

Bad times dude.
Hope you find another.
Mx5 will be easier to sell in summer than autumn / winter

As dubs said its filter dependent. If its k and n for example id clean, oil and reuse. Other brands need just a clean and some are throw away.
-
A dubs said its not reliant on a constant power source. The map is 'written' to memory

This thread will last 1000 years... like a mighty old oak tree !
