Hi all, thought I would seek advice re above - one necessary and one a fancy.
My 3.2 Elite Saloon rear tyres are approaching markers - what would be the best replacements? My current Pirelli P Zero 235/45 ZR17 94Y tyres have a flat spot when cold that takes a few miles (or lots more if really cold) to 'warm off' and 'round up' so there isn't any vibration in your seat if you know what I mean. Would all/most other makes have this - presumably its a metal inner lining???
Secondly, is there another 'flasher unit' (for turn lights) that doesn't sound like it came off a MK111 Zephyr in the sixties as my current one does, that could be fitted that gives a louder 'click' or 'clack' as some later Vauxhalls do?
Thanks very much in anticipation

Tyres, Don't go cheaper than Kumho. Avoid Falkens if you like driving straight. P zero not particulary suited to omega from what I gather.
Known good, conti sc3 very goos all round but pricey, Dunlop sport max/tt, wear rate high, as is grip level. Kumho ku31 if available, good mod range tyre.

No idea about the reference to a MkIII Zepher/Zodiac ::) but the 4 pin trailer relay I had fitted was somewhat louder than the original ........... just don't fit the trailer dash lamp/bulb ;)
