They're not the worst i have had mate by a long way and they do grip well which is what you want. I reckon I got 7k out of the front set of mine    

That's not to bad then. I only done 2k in the car last year I just need to remember there summer tyres! Iv read some terrible reviews about them in the wet which had got me kaking my pants a bit as its just about always wet here I hope there not ditchers! How did u find them in the wet?

Not great mate tbh. I would take it easy in the wet especially after a period of dry weather. Having said that I would advise anybody to do the same on any tyres.

I had a set of 195/45 paradas and gave them away for next to nothing. My golf on 165/50 potenzas was more responsive,more communicative and had better grip in all situations. And the potenzas were 165/50s…..

New front end looks banging. Subtle enough yet with an edge of mean  

Im home this weekend so would be good to catch up if I get time although ill be chapped out for a fair bit between trix's and my house

Nice one, yeah the side walls feel a bit soft compared to the eagle f1s I had but there ok, rides good and there's a bit rubbing  

Well mot was moved to today and……??




Fail Fail Fail


The windscreen cracked yesterday so was an instant fail, also failed the passenger seat belt for not winding in fully?? It's like 10 inches? I thought that was a bit harsh.. 
Also the ns light dip goes off when full beam comes on..
So I have a list

So to make matters worse I found this in the scrappy for £20


Was practically out then it cracked a bit so that was that was mint to…
So the hunt is on for a top tint now. I have a week to find one for the retest I know its the wrong forum but help lol..

Bad luck re the MOT mate. Hope you get it passed soon.

Save that Mk1 from the scrappy. You know you want to

gimme a bell about 4 and remember to get you a price for a mk2 window chris. My mate can get me a mk1 window for cheap cheap so I reckon he should be able to pick up a mk2 effort as well

soz I mean 4 on friday btw

Lol no I would if it was a Mk1 !!! I was saying ur so used to typing in Mk1 ur muscle memory kicked in
Its an F plate 5 door last clue  

Oh balls. I'll get my coat………        

Unlucky on the MOT.

Not wanting to teach egg sucking, but seatbelt may be solved just by giving it a good clean. I did mine on my MK1 years back with Auto Glym spray foam upholstery cleaner - it was surprising how much crud came out and how much easier the belts retracted

Thats a top tip hairy!!    Il def give that a go first. Just waiting on my vw mate getting back to me on a genuine top tint availability. At £101 its not to be sniffed at

Blimey that's not bad for genuine. I thought on MK2 forum recently someone had got one for £70? Not sure where from though

…btw you do have to clean all of the seatbelt for it to stand a chance of working. Just pull it all out and stick a clamp on it so it can all stay out until it's dry.

It's worked a few times for me, and once it didn't but it's a cheap fix if it does

Could you get me a price on this then Daz?
My mate on the inside just got back to me and the screen just went obsolete on the 8th of may 2013!!! what a bummer!! And no dealer shows any. Insurance excess is £80 so il not be getting a genuine one then

He never got back to me with a price and I forgot to chase it up
