Panda (Classic) Rarer than a 599 GTO.

Ugh stupid bloody Pandai.
Fronts are close to the min tread depth, so that's two new tyres at 42 quid a pop. :bang:

£120 each for my Toyota and £160 each for the BMW I drove. £42....bargain.

After balancing, Vat, whatever nonsense on-top.

£101.81. I went in to have a nail removed.

Now that has become expensive.

There's no fun buying tyres like that. They may stop you sliding around roundabouts now though

You could probably bring the rims to Stanford and sell them on if you're having second thoughts about fitting them

Hmmm, I've got a set of those in my garage right now for Giacosa. Now if he collected but another set snuck in, the wife may never notice....:idea::devil:

I think you need to put a comma between "snuck in" and "the wife"

My back tyres were put onto the front, when I turn they squeal like i'm an extra in The Sweeney.

And it also sounds like a heat shield is hanging off too.

How fast do you corner?? Never got any tyre squeal on cornering, only when I put my foot back on the accelerator before I fully engage the clutch between gears do I get any tyre squeals.... I'm such a child.....

 

[Liquid Knight]

The only time my tyres made any noise was when the tracking was out. Two knackered TCA ends later and she was perfect again.

 

[panda panda]

Fizzle gets a bit of a squeal on if I'm a bit enthusiastic on the bendy bits. I swear I did a four wheel drift coming off a roundabout last night

I must be driving like a girl or something? Never get any cornering squeal. Tyre Squeal is only occurs when I'm trying to pretend I have some power by wheel spinning into 3rd gear and when I push the stop pedal through the floor.

Think you'll find you've correctly inflated tyres

It's one way of knowing if they're low

Talon does it now at low speeds.. but that is because i am running on 175/70/13's

 

[Aston Martin]

Its 25 degrees outside, so I tret him to a carwash. He tret me with the usual misery and sorrow.

Opened the bonnet, the washer bottle lid has vanished. The exhaust-esque rattle, I rocked the car and water started to **** out from somewhere. It couldn't have been from the washer bottle, but was in the vicinity.
Ah, the cold air feed/drain pipe thing for the passenger vent was under the spare wheel and just gallons of water was spurting out of it. The nozzle end, was clogged with crap. After a clean out and put back in it's proper place all is well.

The exhaust does hit the body of the car, but only when forced. So maybe thats solved. The passenger side front wheel has top-to-bottom wheel play, only slightly mind you. Not worth it getting checked yet.


In other bad news...

 

[panda panda]

ooh nasty, Fizzle was a bit like that in places, better get that filled with under seal before an MOT!

I don't see the point of the ends on those drain tubes, they just block up and store crap or dribble water on something that should be kept dry - great design eh?

You really should stop looking for faults on poor old Herbie, you'll only upset yourself

My advice is ignore it until it falls off/daylight can be seen through it/or it doesn't work anymore.

Just to add to your misery here's what your alloys could look like one day

Take it that was the Cinq at Stanford Hall. Notice the one next to it?

Good looking rim

 

[panda panda]

Yeah but the owner was faffing about so I didn't take a pic.
My aunties council houses front door was that shade of green in the 1970's.
