BRawlins Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Thermostat housing shat itself so that got replaced along with my 2nd windscreen in 6 months. JS red induction hose has gone on and bought a pair of original headlight protectors on the cheap thatll be fitted soon. -------------------------- Recent problem on occasion, at no particular revs, power etc the traction control/abs lights with flash on for about a second, the power will drop slightly then resume. Also, while driving, again at no particular time the exterior lights will dim then come back to full brightness again. Dodgy battery, alternator or something else was the thoughts. Turned out to be the crank sensor. No idea how it could be related but its happened before to a number of people and Andrew Coombes was the man in the know. ------------------- Meet at the start of October at the London Motor Museum, organised by Emma, ended in a Performance Ford feature and a small piece in about the car. Cheese. His and hers And thats how its stayed until now (March 2015)Insurance this year at £299. must be getting old..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRawlins Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 Cheers guys :) I love that everyone has always had a different view on the wheels, whether good or bad. Id say the anthracite sport kas were my favourite too. Had a ripple of blue and loads of clearance behind for mondeo/st170 brakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRawlins Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 The week started so well..... And then: Look at the !Removed! wear on the inside edge too. That tyre has been on for 2000 miles..... Finally getting to bin these !Removed! Toyo T1Rs. Whoever says they are epic tyres for grip and usage.....theyre lying. Up up up and away. Couldnt even get my trolley jack under there with the flat. Low entry jack required. Recommendations? Removed the skirts while it was up and removed 8kg of crap. 2 screws, 6 bolts, 10 mins. Do it! Loads just under the jacking point And finally these arrived. Should be a lot lot better than the toyos 4 day wait for these in the South West. Minimum 6 days for one of the only place in Britain to deliver the last of the Pilot Exalto 2s in 195-45-15s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRawlins Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 Couple of weeks with the S Drives now and im !Removed! happy with them in the wet and dry.
