Thanks all. Ordered the pair of F1 in XL from Tyreleader for £163 delivered. I picked my prefered fitter but it didnt give me a final fitted price just that they will be sent to that fitter....i assume the fitter contacts me when they get them to arrrange fitting and i pay the fitter directly...

Looking for a pair of new tyres (stock are 215x45x17 87W) for my 200 Cup. Currently have Contisport Contact 3. Although they are pretty much at the end of their life (about 0.5mm above the wear marker) i've just found a screw near the edge in one of them (losing a bit of pressure, down to 18psi...

Aye thanks all, got some OEM oil, filter and a sump plug ordered from Karl. :thumbup1:

Ah, cheers.

Cheers, who is Karl though, Opie Oils owner? :thumbup1:

Hi all, I have a 1yr old Clio 200 Cup that has done 5000 miles and although the schedule states 12k/2yrs until the 1st service i'm thinking of getting the oil & oil filter changed at the current mid service point. Even though the 200 isnt listed on opieoils i assume this is the correct...

I've had a Z4M Roadster and would have another one in a flash, fantastic car. However the running costs are not to be sniffed at!! Z3M's are nice but not as a daily and the handling isnt anywhere as near as good as the Z4M.

Thanks bud.

Gel. I put it on with a paint brush to work it into the tyre then wipe over it gently with a cloth to remove any excess that might be there. Never had a problem with it slinging it on the car when i've used this method.

Bought Shurm's Cup on Friday and gave her a going over with the cleaning stuff today. The rain held off, couple of spots when i was halfway through but thankfully the heavens didnt open! Meguiars Shampoo Plus -> Autofinesse Tripple -> Optimum spray car wax. Autoglym Fast Glass, Meguiars...

Is this a dealer only thing that can be done or is there some software update i can do via USB or something?

The rear headrests in a Cup are part of the protection pack (also get curtain air bags) which is an option.

When i turn the stereo on the volume is always at 15 even if previously on turning it off it might of been at 10 or 20, is there anyway to disable this? USB stick wise i am having trouble getting an 8Gb stick to be recognised, it tried to start playing the MP3's then stops and the egg timer...

Certainly was, maybe you just got lucky or prices have gone up.
