Just so you all know, they stopped working on Nov. 6th 2015.

I'll post again when they work again (any time now I reckon)  )

And here we are again.

One week of no wet, sunshiney stuff, and they're working again!

I was even on my knees listening for ticking on Sunday. Identified 3 out of the 8 that were duff, decided to bite the bullet and replace the lot. The lo and behold, they blipped at me correctly while parallel ...

Try for re balancing first. Helluva lot cheaper than replacing four boots  :'(

My Computer says that too. I never trust computers. But that's what it says.

Well chaps n chappeses. Very pleased with that result.

G'day Fellas (N Gals)

My Headlights are ruining the look of my lovely (11 year old) X5. They're yellow and nasty and hazy.
