  1. Whatever suites .................... your car ...your choice ................enjoy !
  2. I feel the pain as well ................I have repaired my Sc430 mirrors which in essence are the same . I think you got off to a bad start because someone had done a bodge before you . There is a run through on you tube to follow . At this stage I think you are probably better getting another unit . The small motors can be repaired as well , but you need to be deft to take them apart and clean the commutator and retention the wiper brushes.
  3. and on and on and on!!!!!!! ................................. take a little Hubris pill and keep shuffling the money ......................its all you can do !!!!!
  4. Linas will be along to tell you that was the wrong choice !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
  5. HE IS GOING KUMHO ................ for the rear which are worn to limits .................................. and............... You are wrong ...I have had more tyres in my 50+ years of motoring than you have had hot dinners ,.......so there ...................... my opinion and experience trumps you on this one .....................only saying ......... That is just not true.................where is the evidence ?its subjective !
  6. Michelin are one ofthe most comfortable tyres on the market . They have very supple walls..............so there Linas ...we disagree again ! ...........but hey he is going Kumho 😊😊😊😊 I JUST KNEW YOU WOULD HAVE AN ANGLE !!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂
  7. Kumho are good tyres .and relatively cheap . Go with these again is my recommendation . If you were going all 4 ...I am a big Michelin fan
  8. IS250 SE-L 2006 comes with 225/40/R18 front and 255/40/R18 rear and rides perfectly smoothly as such ................................
  9. He did , but what you have to take into consideration that a lot of UK driving( especially north ) is done in sub 8 deg temperatures , so in effect the summer tyre rubber begins to imitate plastic and does not do as good a job as any tyre made for all season /winter ie sub 7 deg . So its really a case of the rubber cocktail they use. to keep supple belo7 deg C ......... then the thread pattern and sipes come into play for water dissipation .
  10. https://alltyretests.com/michelin-crossclimate-plus/ I think you can take a lot of tyre tests with a pinch of salt ..................no pun intended !.......... you change one of the parameters of test by a very small amount and everything changes . Its the old engineering problem of the infinitely variable , variables. You can make anything look good or bad depending what your agenda is. all season are a compromise as are all tyre related issues . But if you encounter conditions below 7 deg C its a no brainer to use them or winter tyres in winter. .
  11. I dont know where that comes from , but the tyres are brilliant in the wet , dry , and as I found out this year superb in snow
  12. Lovely woman and great driver !!!!!!!!
  13. Good man Graham !!!!! something Fishy about that journey !
  14. Transmission oil ........................have you thought about that lately ?🤭
  15. Ita all good john ................. its paddies day !!
