  1. i guess that you have posted over on pepipoo and asked the legal experts there??
  2. yes it will fit, they are all the same
  3. they have them a lot in germany, local one to me is 12 euro per hour for a 2 post 4T ramp. i would check liability insurance out first then go from there.
  4. hi all, i am after the piece of plastic trim that goes over the rear number plate lights. Looking for a silver one as mine has cracked.
  5. winter tyres! next time you could kill yourself or others
  6. just get chains that match your tyre size. and i hope that you have winter tyres.
  7. yes it does open with the fob ,its all explained in the manual!
  8. any of the main brands will do, continental, dunlop, or michelin, nokian or gislaved the last 2 being swedish and finnish manufacturers but for gislaved you will need 16" wheels.
  9. dont bother with the slide on version - it traps dirt and scratches the car - get a clear bra instead.
  10. Could have done with an old sit-up-and-beg Ford Popular with tall spindly wheels and no power - but there again, would never have been able to get it started! Realistically, wide tyres, all the weight at the front, loads of power/torque and low ground clearance means the ISF is rubbish in any real amount of snow even in "snow mode". In the UK, it just isn't worth fitting snow tyres, and the new version with LSD isn't going to fare much better. However, even if you had the traction, it would just increase the likelyhood of expensive damage by scraping off the plastic spoiler and side bits because of the low clearance. rubbish! why do people insist on caling winter tyres snow tyres? they are winter tyres designed to handle cold weather and the associated snow. using the term snow tyres gives the impression they are only for snow which is false. There are many large porsche's, ferrari's and i even saw a lambo the other day with winter tyres over here and they are managing to drive around in winter conditions, it was snowing so hard yesterday you couldnt see more than 20metres in front of you - they were still driving. What exactly do you expect snow mode to do?? it wont make the care into a sudden go anywhere vehicle - it just dampens the throttle response and if an auto starts off in a higher gear. if the car doesnt have the tyres to handle cold weather and snow then how can you expect snow mode to do anything?
  11. conti winter contact is popular over here and if you can get them a nordic winter tyre would be good due to the extra grip
  12. forget taking it to lexus/toyota to have the geometry done as most dont know what they are doing. try dury lane manchester or if you can do the drive go to wheels in motion ( WIM) http://www.wheels-inmotion.co.uk/blackboots-location.php
  13. get it glass blasted and it looks lovely.
  14. dont boher mate, i have been saying it on here for many many years and each year the same old posts come up that people have crashed the car on ice/snow etc - tough! serves you right i say! as u say many still think winter tyres are only for snow.. no sympathy from me if the car slides down the road and gets wrecked.
  15. as an update the sizes listed above are incorrect... you need 40mm and 50mm NOT 50mm and 60mm!!!
