Re: Pros and cons to replacing RFT with normal tyres

Make sure you tell or check with your insurance , I asked my insurance about changing to non runflat tyres on the winter set up and they said they had no problems with them but in the same sentence said as long as it was manufacture specification . Right there was there get out clause , so renewed w...

Re: Pre LCI v LCI 3.0d MPG difference?

Comfort seats and oyster leather , if you can get the comforts seats way better over the sport IMO , just adjust the upper electric bolster to hug you , plus being a short ar*e I don't have a lower bolster to get my leg over  :-[ http://i482.photobucket.com/albums/rr189/dadwhitey/19C5126F-179F-4DB4-...
