Gommy Posted February 11, 2019 Author Share Posted February 11, 2019 Also couldn't help myself and bought an ITG induction kit off of Facebook as I actually really like the tone of the exhaust right now.. Cannot make my mind up on this car馃槀 Have to say the MPG, even putting your foot down is spot on, saving double than what I did on my red edition.聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gommy Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 Unfortunately the wheels won't be staying as I nearly lost my life last night.聽 Driving home from work the car wouldn't steer round a wide bend as the steering went really heavy, started making a loud banging noise at 60 and almost collided with a tree, that I narrowly avoided.聽 Turns out the left front was never properly done up and all 4 nuts could be undone with your hand! I'm shocked!聽 Getting my standards back Saturday.聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Bloodaxe Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 You mention that you "had the wheels fitted" - could the fitter聽have tightened the wheels incorrectly? Similar thing happened to my brother in law after a main dealer service, found the bolts only finger tight. At least the dealer had the decency to 'fess聽up and refund the cost of the service.

Similar thing happened to my brother in law after a main dealer service, found the bolts only finger tight. At least the dealer had the decency to 'fess聽up and refund the cost of the service. I had a similar issue after having a pair of wheels balanced at a major chain.聽 The fitter had forgotten to tighten the bolts on one wheel...聽 I lost two bolts on the way home and found the other 2 just hanging on by a thread as I felt the wheel wobbling and pulled over.聽 馃槷 They were also shiny chrome plated bolts...cost me 拢6 each to replace from the dealer 10 years ago!聽 I didn't have the guts to confront the garage about it, but wouldn't have had any proof anyway.聽 I've not used that garage again but taken wheels in loose for tyres or balancing ever since, then fit and torque them myself afterwards...聽 Moral of the story is never trust anyone lol.

Gommy Posted March 9, 2019 Author Share Posted March 9, 2019 The wheels are back, in the same condition when they left me and all back to normal and yes I've double and triple checked the nuts!聽 Much prefer the standards now not having them for a week 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gommy Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 Latest update is...聽 聽 Having a local company coming to fit a cat 1 immobiliser and alarm system to my car on Tuesday, including a dash cam.聽 No mods being spent on as I've just booked a holiday to florida in September, so I'm sure it'll be staying standard for quite a while!聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STJAY Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 As far as I'm aware, the ST already has a Cat 1 system?聽 I was told it's part of the reason my insurance dropped going to the ST from the Ibiza considering there was 13 insurance groups of a difference?
