    What causes miss fires

    As above, I had a coil gone the other week and replaced all 4. Caused a misfire which the diagnostics showed was in cylinder 1 :( expensive but at least they're all done. Last time I changed 2 in my old Audi the other 2 went soon after.

    225/45/17 toyo r888

    I've got 225/45/17 Goodyear Eagle F1's on mine and can't tell the difference. Still drives like it did on the 215's and significantly cheaper on the pocket, not to mention it also protects the alloys with a more protruding sidewall so I can't actually kerb them :)

    Headlights

    I've got the Osram Nigh Breakers as above, meant to be whiter than standard but I can't see much difference, they are Definitely brighter though! Think I fancy having a try of the Philips Diamond Vision for the HID look...

    Football Lovers....for those who are bored

    Great result for you, I'm hoping as is Dean that your players will have a little hangover like Brighton did and not play 100%. Daunting task knowing we've really got to come to St Marys on the final day! Only 2 players were kept, the striker and left winger, the rest got released pretty much...

    Football Lovers....for those who are bored

    Haha, I never made a bloopers video Roy, but maybe this week if I get time I will, there are a few slips and stupid tackles! Still not sure where I'll be at the end of the season but proud to have been part of it at least!

    I'm sure no one will begrudge me posting Walsall stuff, but here's a vid I made for the Boys. It's all the goals we've scored since I started and I'm chuffed to demonstrate what talented individuals they are! Enjoy... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdkYwkV7mu4

    Tyre sizes

    I've got 225/45/17 all round, as they were cheaper at the time. I can honestly say I've not noticed and difference in handling or grip, but when i'm doing 60mph (my speedo 60mph) i'm going 1mph quicker. The other advantage is that the sidewall protects the alloy by protruding further out, so...

    Which tyres?

    I've had Goodyear F1's for over a year now and love them in the dry but not so much in the very wet conditions. The version 2's have got great reviews but i'm tempted to try the Hankook Ventus S1 Evo, if they're coming top if tyre testing they must be good...

    Malaysian Grand Prix, WTF?

    The talk about DRS, and having it at 2 points on the track rather than 1 makes sense. But Kers is great, watching Hamilton overtake Buemi and Schumacher at the same time :thumbup: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/formula_one/13028033.stm

    It's a 7 day week unfortunately, not often I have days off, unless I ask nicely lol. Once the season ends we start planning for pre-season. The fitness schedule comes into action. Ideally i'm looking to have more of an impact on that side too and broaden my job role. We've also got a tour to...
