Hmm, that's interesting. Did they come in from the US?

I could drop by there on Saturday morning Twiggy if the idle buggers are serious. Mine isn't the best example obviously but as we're pretty sure that our problems are different (and mine much quieter) it should do the job.

One of the plate traders (could probably find it again) has MU57 AVE available, which I like as it works in more than one way. But at 2 grand it's out of my league :(

Oh s*** no! :doh: There is some confusion about frequencies upstairs and you could very well be right slowhand. Why didn't I just swap them out of the old wheels?! Doh! :headbonk: Will definitely broadcast when I get to the bottom of the matter :thumbsup:

Pretty much as Gibbo implies Andy :), I bought a new set (with the "matching tool") from the US. Didn't stop to think that as standard parts I could probably have got them from Ford here more cheaply. In actuality they aren't working so I'm driving around with the system nagging me...

I was joking of course ;). I will be doing this but I now want to get to the bottom of the strange noise issue first :). BTW having compared notes extensively with Twiggy the noise his makes is another league altogether.

Bah, snake oil nonsense. Still going Royal Purple. ;)

Thanks Andy... I have no idea what wheels you might be thinking of though I would recommend that you go bronze ;). I have a hunch they are going to ace mine anyhow :p These Bathursts are 20x9 ET30 front, 20x10 ET40 rear. Tyres are MPSS 275/35/20 front, 295/35/20 rear. Those rear tyres are...

Took a couple of pictures of the wheels I had put on at the weekend. Apologies for terrible quality of pics and filthy car. Will post something better when it's lowered (which it clearly desperately needs). They are 20" Bathursts - not groundbreaking, but hadn't seen them in this colour combo...

Ha ha. I didn't know we had hill assist until I saw this thread:doh:. Our drive is like the north face of the Eiger so this will be really useful, especially for the missus who already needs two hands to release the handbrake because it has to be pulled up so tight. Now where's that handbook! :)

Twiggy, we've now talked around your options for literally hours and as per the wise words above things now naturally seem to be pointing down the rejection route. Time to draw a line in the sand then play hardball. Maybe give them until Friday to come up with a solid diagnosis and repair plan...

What are the wheels Enoch? Please tell! :thumbsup: ;)

:lol: This is a summary of the comments below the article (AKA the bottom of the internet). Probably. If I could be arsed to read them: 'ang 'em. 'ang 'em all. Filthy scroungers. Did you 'ear what they said about our royal family? Disgusting. Bloody foreigners. Disgusting. All of...

Not legal for any of us already in our cars or expecting delivery before September. Bloody bargain for those a bit further back in the queue, though. :thumbsup:

Took a ride out to Modurstang for a chat. Mike is an A1 bloke. Arranged for them to fit my mini mountain of bits in a couple of weeks rather than me cocking it up myself as I'd originally planned. Place just draws you in - the perfect antidote to those modern, stark, clinical dealer service...

LV is the one I got for £290. I sometimes wonder if these companies have got some sort of random quote generator. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But TBH I would have been pretty happy with £670 before I started looking. With Direct Line you can be sure that the phones are always manned too :)

Oh, also max out the voluntary excess so that combined compulsory and voluntary is a grand or more. Unless you are terminally ill or plan to give up driving soon it is never worth claiming for relatively small amounts as you'll be paying inflated premiums for years to come (despite NCB).

stevec also try the comparison sites. I used confused.com. Got the option to tick boxes for mods made or might make. It will also allow addressing of mods in blanket terms; for instance mine is insured for "lowering <5cm" "interior modifications" "other suspension modifications" "non standard...

Custom pack with black wheels. Interesting and looks very nice indeed :thumbsup:

Finally I understand what they mean by "car porn". Ban this filth. Ban it now!! :cheers::lol::lol::lol::lol::cheers:
