Hi all The wheel that changes station/track on the steering column worked fine for years and has suddenly started grinding when used as if something is rubbing or come off inside. Not very technically descriptive I know!!! Has this happened to you and did you fix it? Thanks

Funnily enough I was going to start a thread on how good my Eagles are. In short they are superb. Grip is better than the Conti's (even when the Conti's were new) and road noise is less too. I went for the stiffer sidewall (91s) and changed all 4 tyres about 2500 miles ago. I would highly...

Special or not, I like the colour combo :-)

Looks stunning with black wheels.

Thanks Foxspeed, I saw your how to. How did you deal with the rivets and what did you replace them with?

Bloody Hell!!!! £108 + delivery before club discount from Karl. Going to look for a second hand one from Cit-Ren but have 2 questions: 1) How often do these parts break? I presume that the unit will be tested before purchase. 2) Karl said they are riveted to the door. If anyone has changed one...

Checked the new tyres today on fitting and the are only 5 weeks old :-) (4513)

Good spot :-)

The issue is that although there is plenty of tread left and the sidewalls are in good condition, there is some evidence of cracking which indicates the rubber is perishing. If most of my driving was commuting to work, I wouldn't change them. 90% of the time I take the train to work so my car is...

My 197 is on 60k miles and the engines is as good as it's was when I bought it on 38k. Main thing is that the service history is good and the cambelt has been changed. As important is to check the brakes haven't seized which they can do if you don't strip and clean them every year. You won't...

Just bought 4 Goodyear Eagle F1's for £92 each on Camskill. Pretty good value I think :-) Getting them fitted next week.

Thanks mate. Need new wipers :-)

If is anything like the dipped beam bulb, the clip bends outwards at the bottom and the ends of the clip fit into 2 holes at the bottom of the bulb holder. The clip then swings upwards to a retaining clip at the top of the bulb holder. Hope this makes sense.

Thanks, although I would have appreciated it if you had said the unit just pops out!!!! ;-)

I'll change the battery to see. Since I changed the handles, I never have a problem with the buttons and the sensor in the passenger door works first time so I don't think it is the battery. Not to expensive to eliminate though :-)
