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 :-)

Thanks Danny. There is slight cracking on the edge where the tread meets the sidewall but the sidewalls themselves are in fine condition as I put a treatment on them each time I wash the car. Deadmau5, all the tyres are Conti Sport 3. Thinking of putting Goodyear Eagles on as they won the EVO...

Already changed both handles a few months ago. The drivers door sensor is getting intermittent. It normally takes me pulling the handles 4-5 times for it to register (no probs on the passenger door) so I want to change it. Do I need to take the door panel off again to do so or can I remove it...

My front tyres are worn out and need changing. That's the easy bit. My rear tyres are in very good condition with lots of tread left on them (probably 6mm or more) but are 6 years old (2007). I have 2 sets of wheels for my car so these haven't been on the car all that time, just the last 2...

Good review and welcome to the club. I have a 56 plate 197 (original gearbox) and have never had a problem with it. Saying that I always match revs on downshifts. I'm very pleased with how accurate the gear change is as so many cars have a box that's like stirring soup!! The brakes are...

2006 (56) on just over 59,000 and still running sweetly :clap:
