Alarm is fine in my car, remonte locking fine, only bloody interior light not working with driver door,i dont know if it is right, but my car locks itself automaticly if i unlock it and leave it for couple minutes, i think it suppose to be like this. Yep, exactly the same regarding interior lights....

Afternoon,

I have the exact same issue as bakili. Annoying more than anything, i.e. the alarm rearms itself being one. Piddling I know, but anoying!!!

I await with baited breath.

*edit* Oo, oo, Dave_1 any chance you could send to me also the self study please? *end edit*

.....and I think its a bit over priced? Think its a Ford of some sort?

lol! Know what you mean. Have asked people in the know with regards to tyre pressure and have had varied responces.....keep as same as factory....!!! f34/b28, 42/36 and it goes on. Noticed my mpg is down by about 3-5, so will be stepping up.

As much as that!!! Will bare that in mind.

Interesting! Will mess with pressure and go up a step i.e. 34 front, 32 back.

Oh yes, been going for years. Nice way to kick of the show season.

Just wondering what people are running on their after market rims, what's been recommended and what they are living with and what are the 'rules' if any? Personally running 225/40 - 18" all round on a B5 TDi estate, lowered and got 32 front, 30 rear Psi. Bit bouncy when rolling, little give to ...

Arent we a lurvly bunch!

Think 64 split means to go faster, therefore over take more, ergo, more in the middle - outside lane and of course coming back into the nearside lane when empty....

Anyhoo, the grooves, the M62 is like a fookin LP record and know what you mean.

Technix on my B5 estate, freshly fitted this weekend with 225/40, 18's. Not wound down fully as yet, waiting for it to 'bed' in. Overall, as mentioned, the wallowy-ness is gone, firmer ride, but still comfortable, body roll is minimal. Grip has improved 100%, but still 'testing'. :wink: j :mrgreen:

Bladdy 'ell! Forgot how it is to drive with big rims and rubber on the motorway.....cacked myself, followed by a girly scream!!!!

As you were.

j

Cheers peeps. :wink: Plenty of time to sort the ride height out, just don't wanna rip my arches to cack. nice one, whats the stud conversion Its to eliminate the use of bolts i.e. try putting on an 18"+ wheel on a wheel without studs....hard work, especially when you have a flat!!! Years of air...
