  1. what brand of tyres do you have???

    hi mate

    i have 225/45/17 bridgestone all 4

    thanks

    wahid

    i have the same and it only tends to slide on 1 particular road that is cobbled at the junction, so when pulling out it does slip a bit but otherwise no issues at all!!!

    having wider tyres makes the loading per contact area far less than a narrower tyre so increases the chances of a slide.

    check your tyres pressures, read depth/wear and the most basic of all dont floor it! also remember when the temps drop below 7C the rubber of normal tyres starts to harden and you have less grip, if you are having troubles now then i would hate your chances when it does get cold and there is a good frost.

    But as yu mention there was something on the road it could well have been diesel and it wont matter if you had good tyres or not - it will cause a slide

  2. the OP said the key wont turn......

    your lock barrel is stuffed - give it a good hsarp tap with a drift and a hammer and it should shock it free........ now go to the dealer and order a new lock barrel to match your existing key - it will be about £80.... if the dealer says they cant do it then get them to call HQ as many have had it done and not all dealers know it is possible.

  3. There are a few ways to start a turbo-fan jet engine. Most engines use an electric starter motor combined with bleed air that comes from the APU .

    which engines have a combined electric and air start??

    The Rolls Royce RB211 uses a combined electric and bleed air start sequence.

    forgot about this... RB211 does not have a combined electric starter motor and bleed air starter, i actually dont know of any high bypass engine that uses a combined starter.

    however if you mean it uses a bleed air starter and is controlled electronically that is a different matter.
