Went "huh"? when the iPod stopped playing back, and one of my headlights switched itself off, gave a light on the dash, then came bakc on when I'd stopped and started... alternator issue??

Drove over to Telford to pick up a brand new, unopened, Forge Twintake. £150! To say lm chuffed with the purchase would be an understatement.

Ha! Afraid not mate, guy l bought it from got it direct from Forge, then sold his car before he fitted it. I originally got in touch to buy a headunit from him, but it had already sold. He mentioned he had this and some winter wheels for sale, so l snapped this up.

Replace when the black coating wears off...and since you are already in there. Always best to have a spare on hand when you expect to inspect the one on service so if the coating is gone...you can just replace it then and there.  :drinking:

My Continental Extreme DW's arrived today. Need to repaint the wheels before mounting them. Quite a good deal as they were only $130ea. USD from: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Continental&tireModel=ExtremeContact+DW&partnum=24YR8ECDWXL&vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes

Had the tracking done and did the screw mod to stop the tyres rubbing in the wheel arch.


So much for keeping it standard!
