Re: Locking wheel nut keys
I think I can add my recent experience for losing a wheel nut key... I had my tyres changed and checked the wheelnut torques. Unfortunately, I removed the torque wrench but must have left the key attached to one of the wheels- of course it was nowhere to be found. After investigating online ...

Re: New car to pick up on wednesday
Sounds good! I’ve just paid £1026 for a set of Sportmaxx GT's on the 20” staggered setup so damage those and you’ll see that’s good value!

Re: Runflat Tyres
I went for the Dunlop Sportmaxx GT's in the end. Replaced all four. First impressions are very good- they definitely seem quieter than the old Bridgestone Duellers. Time will tell how they wear. I will religiously check the pressures weekly and have 4WD tracking on a Hunter machine every six months ...

Re: Dash Cam
I’ve been advised by Halfords customer services to have a vehicle survey done at one of their fitting centres which I will do next week to ascertain whether it’s an easy job. I don’t fancy doing it myself to be honest!

Re: Dash Cam
So that effectively bypasses the fuse box and hence the vehicle monitoring?

Dash Cam
I watched a video recently of someone being scammed by a guy flinging a motorbike into the front of a car and then throwing himself onto the bonnet with an accomplice as a witness. When they saw the dash cam fitted they ran off. What a simple scam and impossible to prove without evidence. I want to ...

Re: Runflat Tyres
Abbott26 I looked on the Pirelli website and it appears they only do 18 and 19 inch tyres for the X5. The 20 inch was not given as an option.

Runflat Tyres
Hi there I need to replace the tyres on my 2010 E70 35D and I have decided to stick with the BMW * Runflat tyres. I have the 20" wheels so need the 275/40 R20 on the fronts and 315/35 R20 on the rears. Looking at the choices, it is limited. Either the Bridgestone Dueller H/P Sport or the Dunlop SP ...
