does look lovely - its personal taste but i swapped from autoglym to meguirs ( 3 stage stuff from halfords ) and especially on dark/mettallic colours found the results much better and longer lasting , not to mention slightly cheaper

That's insane - there's got to be something wrong with your engine. I'm averaging 33mpg and that's with the petrol engine. I thought the same. The car has been serviced every 10K, the last being in February. I would have thought if there was something wrong, it would have been picked up then, don't you think? Fuelly is a really good way to keep tabs on your mpg (click my mpg fuelly avatar to go there) - or road trip lite on iphone free app

bits of leaves in the ducting ?

was 2 or 3 complete systems in bridges scrappy last time i looked

crikey someone must of really opened their door with some vengeance to do that much damage - so annoying

but as long as you still have the 3 buttons bit from the master you only need to get a new key and get it cut - not the end of the world

the bonus of a winter lay up is that it wont get ten tonnes of salt and grit in every nook and cranny , i just replaced my brakes and once the wheels were off i was amazed at how much grit was in the wheel arch despite regular jetwashings in those areas

lol , steven spielberg you aint knitware but still cool , what next i wonder a bit of ice drifting action maybe ? car looks lovely as well

madness ?! - maybe trying to get a 4x4 thats nice to drive and reliable for the price youd sell an ls400 for at this time of year would indeed be folly , as for driving thru two and a half foot of snow which would be about level with the top of your bonnet in a rear wheel drive lex i just cant see that happening really or being any less of a mad thing to do whatever your tyres - winter tyres are the way forward though if you can get hold of a set , i still wouldnt test them out in snow as high as your bonnet though

Quality Knitware - glad it all worked out well for you

bit more info here from a past thread HERE

lol , no i call it a nuzzle bar , can be used to gently nuzzle cars up slippery slopes without getting out in the cold and hooking up a recovery strap - nice and soft a nd spongey low damage nudge bar

KYB EXCEL G FOR ME from the above trader - delivered in 24 hours - just when you fit them or get them fitted make sure the garage dont fit the bumpstops upside down as they maks a horrible noise sliding freely on the shock every time you hit a matchstick and you then have to remove the shock and replace the bumpstops in the correct position

could be leaking from the windscreen like KEVS

last time i was HERE there was a few satnav housings in the cars , you could make a motorised dash tray out of one - not a million miles away from you

Knitware any update ? did you get snow ? could you drive your car ok in it or will it be looking for a new home soon ?

aah i see , thats a shame , if you have a previous owner on the logbook you could try contacting them and see if they kept it "by mistake" - im sure someone will be along to help pretty soon if you check back in every now and again - or find some members with the same model as yours and send them a private message - an email should go to them and alert them to help you out if theyre nice , which near enough everyone on here is

allways a good idea to read the owners manuals as well , they usually give tips for the cars features in driving in adverse conditions

:D ;)

Hello and welcome , no idea on your question but im in south east and youre right its bloomin icy out there

would help if we knew where "tubbyland" was/is

steveboiboi,s wheels looked really nice in his pics, not sure how they,d be to live with on a day to day basis or what kit you have and how they would pair up and look with it

i was going to suggest finding someone with a nice soft nudge bar and giving it a friendly nudge six foot thataway ------->
