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.

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

Thanks - will change in pairs. I must admit i have been saved by the rim protector a few times! So that is a bigger factor that maybe it should be!
