I've been very happy with the Goodyears but have heard a few folk mention the XL PS3 as offering a much better feel than other tyres, has anyone compared these directly? I only need to replace 2 tyres just now but am wondering if it's worth changing for better feel or if it's negligible?

Are you sure that was for Trophy ones? This is as cheap as I've seen them, even looking back to threads over 5 years old on cliosport.

What exactly do you mean by not set up right? It was a well regarded specialist that fitted them so hopefully it's just the sliders.

The rear calipers on my car were replaced 2 years ago but something seems up with them. O/S pads have worn at least twice as much as the N/S. Just seems odd with recent calipers. FWIW, if you do go for new brakes soon, I got genuine items from here for under £100-...

No pdf but it's better than nothing! Not sure what you're thinking about the Ford GT though- it won the whole thing. ;)

Just ticked over 89k.

Christ that's more than you could sell it for.

Did you have any joy? I'm also in Carnoustie and saw that one advertised, thought it looked and sounded well kept.

Thanks for the replies I shall report back whenever I get round to checking.

Cheers, is any of that visible to check without having to remove covers?

No I've purely left it to the mechanic. What am I physically looking for down there? Any photos?

So I can call up the symbols on the dash when I press the switch but can't actually activate either of them. I've had the car since October 2014 and it's never worked in my ownership, just getting round to it now. I've had it in at the garage and the mechanic was thinking either the clutch...

This must be very, very unlucky on these engines.

Are they definitely stopping PS3 production though? And since when did most Trophy drivers hate the Goodyears? They're ruddy brilliant.

Low 30's. Depends on the type of road as the back roads to/from work beg you to nail it. Given the short gearing, I find sitting at 70 really hurts the mpg on a cruise and can't get much past 35mpg indicated. For full economy mode I need to sit at 60 or less.

The Scorpion one one mine sounds nothing of the boy racer sort at all. If I knew nothing of them I'd think it came from the factory.

What bollocks that you even have to go to such lengths over a stupid little component, well played though.

I think the previous post shows it really depends what you're used to. Wouldn't want one as a daily for lots of miles really. My main car is an e39 M5 and it's a serene, magic carpet ride by comparison. Never have to raise your voice to speak to any passengers. By contrast, the ride is hard in...

Why would removing them and storing them increase the chance of failure?

Does anyone do this? Is it worth it? I'm in Scotland and the car might get semi-regular use over the winter. I've got a spare set of cup dampers and springs that I could have swapped over easily enough. If so, is swapping out the front ones alone ok or is it best to do rear too?

I'd also be interested. Looking for a red one with number 125.

I'll take this if it's still available? Need to replace the god awful aftermarket thing in mine that I still have no clue how to work.

Turned out to be a creaking polybush in the front wishbone. Couldn't be arsed with getting polybushes so just had both wishbones replaced with OEM parts.

The fact I can't notice anything in the handling would lead me to believe that either the shock is fine or I am completely ham-fisted.

Is a fairly loud creak/crash unlikely to be the sort of sound the shock absorber would make and more likely along the lines of what you're suggesting?

Just started to notice this more recently. It's not really apparent at speed, only occasionally showing itself but at low speed going over speed bumps and the like there's an obvious creak/crash from the front left of the car. It's definitely the left as I've made sure to go over speed bumps...

I've got number 125 now so I'd hate for any potential sellers to think I'm still a potential customer...

The first service wasn't done for 3 years but was on 14k miles, the next two were are 41k and 61k. Both of these were just a year and a bit apart.

What do we make of something like a 27k mile gap and a 20k mile gap between services? I'd like to think it'll have a negligible effect in real terms given the engines are meant to be strong. I bought a 330Ci before that had over 30k miles between a service and it always ran sweetly at over 100k...

Apart from the cambelt, will it likely need anything else in the near future? Is there decent tyres on it?
