surprised you need tyres; i got 30k out of my first set

I paid 660 quid last year. For named component. Didn't really see the point if the comprehensive. Most of the really expensive stuff was covered under named component.

[quote=""tombs""]Have a look at RSR Tyres, I'm sure I saw a leaflet in there promoting insurance for 12 months per tyre at around £20.00. Not sure if they are near you as you do have to go back to them to claim,[/quote]

Does that mean you could insure just two tyres?

on all of my 3.0i (I have had three, two E53s and an E70) consumption came in around 22mpg average over the lifetime. The E70 was slightly better, but nowhere near the claimed 25.9 of BMW. I had manual boxes on the E53s, not for cost saving reasons, but simply because I liked manual at the time ...

You put my point of view so much more eloquently

@PVR; you are ignoring the fact that Norway and Sweden are East of the UK. You also need to remember that the vast majoirty of the population in those countries are on similar latitudes to Scotland. They still put their clocks forward and back. As would we if we moved to CET. In addition we are not ...

Nope. Totally disagree, it's already 09:30 before it gets light up here in December. I advocate a hybrid where we only put the clocks back from November 21st ish to Jan 25th. The arguments being put forward by those in the south totally disregard the practicalities of living in the North and also ...

I think you'll find the Irish drink Whiskey, as opposed to the Scots who drink Whisky.

Just drove past our local camera van on the a977 and it has been upgraded to 4-way. Extra camera bubble mounted on the side of the can.
