Re: Replacement car tyres and tyres labels

I've fitted Good Year Vector 4 Seasons on a number of cars over the years, including my current one. (Think I'm on Gen 2 at the minute but Gen 3 is the current version.) They always seem to rate...

Re: Tyre change

Thanks both. Definitely food for thought.

I've seen several DIY 'heath robinson' rigs for beab-braking and balancing (and Gary you're not the only one who I've heard suggesting that balancing is...

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

Zip should be replaceable by any competent repairer. (If you can find one :rolleyes:)

And definitely cheaper than a new jacket - you're right about the cost of those!:shock:

Re: Tyre change

:notworthy:

Bead breaking and balancing are the two reasons I haven't bothered changing tyres myself in the past. (I've also been fortunate to have generally lived reasonably close to decent...

Re: Into every life....

Couldn't stay quiet for long, eh. And why not - be proud!:thumbsup:

Glad to discover my initial guesses were poor!:)

All the best to both of you.

Re: Front right caliper

R1ffR4ff seems to have quoted a left hand part number. But the link is good and shows a right hand is 59100-33D90-999 (with a note mentioning 59100-33D81-999 too - hold that thought).

Re: Charging oddity

I think initial temp change effect is probably close to the mark but I'd suggest it's more likely to be due to a slight difference in the operation of the semi-conductor parts in the reg/rec whilst...

Re: Front right caliper

As far as I'm aware, they're the same unit across the curvy and pointy range. (But that's only based on basic visual inspection rather than anything more scientific.)

But can you not just replace...

Good to hear. Enjoy!

Thanks for the acknowledgment. But this'll be my last post on this thread - now time to go quiet, with a thread resurrection to look forward to.:) Whilst I could make other...

So, I guess somewhere on the spectrum between lottery win (metaphorical sunshine) and the roof collapsing (so literally lots of sun can get in)?

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

That's a shame. But at least we now know of another supplier that's perhaps best to avoid. Mental note made :)

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

Try a claim citing Sale of Goods Act "not fit for purpose" reasoning. They are statutory rights and warranty period is not necessarily relevant.

If you have a proof of sale, less than 3 years...

Re: Gen 1 lights and speedo

If Barwise doesn't want any of it, I'll take 'em off your hands. (Would probably help me more properly repair the set on son's bike that are a bit bodged beneath the surface.)

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

Similar story for me too. Seems that 25-30% uplift is typical.:smt010

Wife's car insurance was nearly 30% up on renewal a couple of weeks ago. Thankfully tolerable in £s because we're old etc. ...
