I've had 2 slow punctures fixed, 1 tyre replaced due to a screw that was too close to sidewall, and 1 tyre replaced due to running over a ratchet strap, that came off the side of a wagon. Its been a fun 3 years - feels like I drive with my eyes shut.

Yeah true - I checked a few, before I purchase from Black Circles (Costco, F1, ATS, and the likes) but Black Circles came in very much the cheapest at that time. Fortunately they have just e-mailed, to confirm they now have the tyres ready for delivery, and my fitting will go ahead on Saturday...

That seems to be my exact thoughts at this moment in time, yes

Yeah that is annoying... My appointment is supposed to be this Saturday at 9am, but Black Circles do not have my tyres still, and still don't know when they will get them. I have been liaising with them via e-mail every few days for them to keep checking. I am going to e-mail them today, and...

Well, that lasted long. BlackCircles just e-mailed me, to say they don't actually have them in stock..

They had the same Flash15 sale yesterday on BlackCircles, so I have now pulled the trigger on a set of 245/30/20 @ £195 each, fully fitted, which will be getting fitted on the 20th this month Hoepfully I'll notice the difference, as currently, due to wear and punctures, my tyres are a bit...

Thanks Wilmo, I found one guy had the exact issue. And i have purchased some smoked side lights (Housings only) to see what they are like. Just need to suss how to get them out now

Hi Guys While washing the car at the weekend - I noticed a load of either Rusty, or Dirty Water, in the small light that is above the wheel: I noticed it just as I started to was the car - so I assume it has been in there for a while, as it hasn't rained here for a few days, and prior to...

Thanks - I need pads soon, so might give these a whirl

oh my god haha I could not I actually scratched my front passenger seat last week, and i am still very upset haha

Do you have a link to them?

Yeah those tips look awesome

Every now and then, probably about 3/4 times in 2 years I've had the car, mine takes a few seconds to start - to the point where i thought it wasnt going to start. It was never after any prolongued period of not being used, just the next morning for work etc. Guess I better check VIN number...

God damn, I dont have VIN Number handy, so had bookmarked that page, and was going to sort it tomorrow - assumed that was the one!

Was thinking exactly the same, quick google found me this: https://owners.honda.com/service-maintenance/recalls

Very impressive, looks awesome

It is awfully slow to react sometimes though, I find it a bit annoying. So I can appreciate why this is a thing.

Nice, I like that - Going to have a stab myself.

Agree with the Generic Gloss Black Pen from Halfords. Used it twice, sadly. Its almost a perfect match

oh my god, I'm glad somone brought the Wiper issue up. I just cant figure them out for the life of me, they literally do what they want. and also Yes @ the constantly misting up windscreen..

this picture hurts my brain! Those bubbles and peeling plastic... :o

Well I'll soon find out haha...i couldnt stretch to to the Mich atm, hoping they end up on sale somewhere in teh distant future so i can nab some cheaper

I just got my front conti's replaced after 8,000 miles, and I decided to try these tyres out. Also, prior to this, i had the wheels rotated with no issues, but I was advised that I would need to replace the tyres soon. So i got them replaced, and rotated back, so I could have the Bridgestones...

Thanks Guys - Think I'll give the Pipercross a go

Yeah figured that one too, hate having to make a call between 2 of the same things! :( will trawl the forums for some reading on them haha

After a panel filter myself, this one? https://www.dream-automotive.com/products/pipercross-panel-filter-1

Yeah - Mines earlier than that, registered in Feb 2018

Yeah - I noticed this the other week on mine...was thinking to just clean it and touch it up with my paint chip pen

Filled up yesterday, was a hot day, and it hissed at me

Oh good i thought it might of been just mine, it really is terrible!

Will they come with the 3 sea shells? :D

mine do that, wondered what the hell it was!

Just did my front drivers side also, not too badly though... hoping some gloss black paint will sort it..

I cant find it! Checked the tyre wall,and cant find it, its a slow one, i pumped it to 33 PSI on Monday afternoon, and its down to 29 PSI now.. booked into AS for Thursday to see what they say..

Good news, you wont regret it.

Okay I'll have a look Got a puncture at some point over the weekend! Trip to ATS after work, hope they can repair it :(

**, South Shields. It's cool, thank you though.

I have orderd the Poor Boys White Diamond, and a Poorboys Ex-P Sealant for on top. Just waiting on Delivery, and the correct weather

Great, I'll give the Poor Boys White Diamond a bash.

haha, no sorry i blanked out the last 3 letters, just coz... i dunno why Yeah i saw some of that, and a similar one https://www.halfords.com/motoring/car-cleaning/shampoo-polish-wax/meguiars-mirror-bright-paste-polish-wax I fancied giving this a go

Meant to put this up before. Also, you guys got any recommendations for polish or wax for it? I previously used Dodojuice Wax. Wondered if you guys have any better ideas for keeping it shiny?

can you point me in the direction of what you got? I'd like to have a bash at trying it myself.

Yeah, I appreciated the looks are very Marmite-ish for others No a massive fan of the auto-cut off, so most likely will turn it off. Due to my work commute, I am thinking of getting some form of mud flaps installed, as some of the roads have a lot of loose debris, and I'm a bit worried about...

Yeah tell me about it, its been pretty much raining since i bought it! I am finding all of the bits and pieces a bit overwhelming atm. I had my DS3 for 6 years, so the tech inside was a bit dated. So its nice to be shot into the current day, with all the new stuff (no 'handbrake', auto engine...

Okay thank you for the info, I'll do a bit more looking into price for servicing and alloy wheel insurance, but if you paid<£100 for getting an FK8 alloy repaired, then that sounds reasonable to me, as hopefully there wont be many refurbs reqired. Regarding the car, it has 4,800 on the clock...

Hi On Wednesday I had the pleasure of picking up my 8 month old FK8 in Championship White (Or more of a cream, as 2 friends have pointed out to me) Traded in my Citroen DS3 Sport, as I have wanted a Type R for a few years, and I am absolutely loving it. although finding all the stuff a bit...
