Took the sun roof cowling apart to fix a creak. Cleaned the sun roof disc while there, turned the ignition on to check it worked, without plugging in the light unit, which bought the air bag light on, which bout the lap top out to reset the codes, which took 10mins to find only to realise it was in the glove box next to me from the start. But it was flat, so need the charger, extension lead etc etc

But does it still creak...? ::) ;D

And what?
Initial impressions?

Any rubbing issues?

Now Mr TB, by your own rules, we have to cover the life of the tyre before we can comment. By your own rules :P

The rest of us can give first impressions but not Mr TB. Oh no, ;D


And apart from anything else, I haven't been anywhere yet. :(

I was more interested in how well they fitted TBH, though it would be an interesting comparison against a 235/45/17 one :)

But if you haven't been anywhere...

No problems so far. But I haven't been up the m40 with that big wump, or over any speed bumps that cause the problem on full compression.  Also remember I've changed the sock top mounts which have raised the ride height slightly.

Broken it ::)

Driving home late last night and suddenly the eml pinged on... some very odd codes: 0130, 0650, 0750, 1650

and of course, the obligatory 0420/0430, 0300 and 0306... hurumph.

Misfire etc are probably down to an ill fitting hose on the breather bridge, rest is anyones guess :-\

0130, 0650, 0750, 1650

O2 sensor, MIL lamp failure, not sure, service vehicle soon light (didn't even know we had one)..

I'm thinking an electrical gremlin?

05omegav6

Need to pop the radio out as that has been playing silly buggers lately, so could be it :-\

Incidentally I do still need to service it :-[

chrisgixer

Mill lamp is probably a side effect of 0420/0430 ;D

O2 sensor 0130 would cause issues though.

Service code I'd ignore and reset.

Do you have facility to clear them? I have a lap top base reader that can, and read live data on the lambdas.
