I'm in Halfords at the moment getting a new battery as I've had another flat battery (the trickle charger failed) and I'm away this weekend. But when they fitted the new battery the voltage is only showing 12.3v The original battery was showing 11.99 and 99% health. They suggested that the...

Syvecs won't be cheap. But it will be good. Coming from GTR world.

I join the M8 at Glasgow Airport from the A737 most days and with my old creeky neck it would be handy!

Oh right. ... That sounds like me! Okay will try and drive around like a peasant and see if it works.. Thanks

It doesn't show an error on the display. But i don't drive it very often and had a flat once. So maybe there is a battery related issue - i'll look in that. Thanks

I've had the car since Oct 2022. And the stop / start function hardly ever works. The last time i remember it working was after a flat battery in Jan. But it hadn't worked for a while before that. And stopped working soon after. Anyone else.? I have tried cycling the stop/start. I'll run a...

Looks great. If you ever get up to Scotland....

Always the way with me! That's a great price.

I used this video to help my decision https://youtu.be/TQsWlZoh55U?si=O13umLOPrmW6wn4u and this is the table he came up with https://www.tyrereviews.com/Tyre-Tests/Results-Grid/2023-Tyre-Reviews-Performance-Tyre-Test.htm

Thanks I have gone with the Bridgestones as Halfords have 15% off them at the moment so they come in at £460 a pair. I also got their tyre insurance included (for what it's worth) But a pic would be great for next year. Thanks

Cheers Hunt it on to see what i can get fitted this weekend! Either the Bridgestones or MPS4. Thank for your help and to everyone else too.

Thanks for that Pilot Sport 4s?

That's quite a good rim protector on that. Thanks very much. I'll go for them - unless convinced otherwise :)

I wonder if anyone would be kind enough to take a photo to show the rim protection on anything they have on their cars (eg Bridgestones or Michelin or Continentals). Thanks in advance
