What he said^^^ If I had a dollar for every muppet that came into work looking for winter or snow tyres this last 3 weeks I would be a very happy man. Your car tyres that you have on will make no difference what so ever to the surroundings, if in doubt get a pro to take you up that hill

Supercrap & Ripco sell generic bits that will do the job and it is probably way cheaper than a dealer

Rain, wind and no f**king snow

NIl If they stipulate chains carry them or stay at bottom of hill

Well I drove in the big snow of 05, the bigger snow of \'12 and drove up and down hills without chains... Also drove in Waiberia in snow many a time and never used them... Then again I did do NMV, Rover and Mog training back in the day in the Army so learn\'t how to drive smoothly and use my head...

Apparently the reason for sale is that he upgraded to a new car, more like he got sick of being laughed at Dear mother of GOD!

Filter unit and lube unit. I require a plug to cap off the takeoff for a gauge.

Me has popcorn at the ready^^^

This is more like me

Do a quick search, however the basic process remove the garnish drain water clean properly, then clean the balck trim strip and the garnish and the body with nailpolish remover use windscreen sealant and run a bead of this along both ends of the black trim strip put it back together it will not leak again if done right

Did he buy it from TTSL? If so TCP is the "Road Hazard Warranty" - this covers the tyres for road hazards such as rocks. curbs, stupidity (to a degree) etc, it will even cover road tyres used "ofroad" within reason. Some stuff it does not cover, but the list is short...

Exactly Oh and running an orange light is technically against traffic regualtions/acts, as it states to the effect that you are to stop and give way to traffic already in the intersection waiting to turn tight. This applies even if the person stopping at a orange light has some muppet run up their a rse or could run up their a rse due to "safe follwoing distances". Therefor: if you are waiting in the middle intersection waiting to turn right (as driver instructors teach you to do), they should giveway to you. However this does not give you the right (as the car turning right accross traffic on a yellow) to turn accross oncoming traffic. - I find the finger and a very loud blast on the horn as they speed throught he intersection does get the message accross. Ofcourse if they speed up or are speeding throught the intersection to make the light then the ball game changes significantly depending on the speed they entered the intersection... Here a case cxan be made that due to their negligence and speeding you expect them to travel at the sign posted speed mot at the excessive speed they were traveling at... Inreality both parties would get a fine and depending on evidence etc both could be done for a few things under the act I would imagine

Seen the vids (posted here or Youtube??) and the old rep for the wholesaler used to come sprouting shit at work about you lot at Waimate. Nucking futs

Our daily runs Nitto NT5000, they are not s top quality tire however they do what is needed at a price even i cannot argue with... They cost me 50% less at trade than did the MY02\'s... Need I say more

MY01\'s are getting long in the tooth now, been replaced by My02 (although some random sizes do persist in MY01 due to low sales volumes in that size globally)

Agreed Less than $160 per tyre is rather poos

Bridestone MY03 - entry level performance tyre RE002 - premium performance tyre Firestone TZ700 - premium touring tyre Direzza DZ101 Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec SP Sport FastResponse (Asymmetric) SP Sport Maxx Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 Eagle NCT 5 Efficient Grip Some things like Supercat, Neuton\'s etc should fill your boots as well if budget is a concern, avoid cheap and nasty at all costs. What town do you live in? If CHCH flick me a pm for pricing availability options

I like But valid points re testing/comparison

Yep one of the boys at work is going to give me hand, belly lifters are usefull for something I geuss. Going to use DOT4 fluid, would 500ml cut it or more?

Over priced junk IMHO from experience on the mrs RSK

A good bothering bleed is on...

Team The beast has an issue with soft spongy brakes. THe fluid has always been kept full. DOT 4 used. Had a minor leak as some muppet left the front left bleed nipple slightly undone, however I digress. SHould I try a bleed and see how it goes or is there other causes/remedies?

Usually related to the tyre, tyre wear or balancing of the tyre. Sometimes when it is realted to the tyre this is due to type of tyre (el cheapo vs el exspensive), how tyre is worn and what impacts is has been subjected to (i.e. potholes and the like). the tyre shops balancer last calibration date... Mention has been made of toe causing this shaking/shuddering - this is very unlikly however can be a cause if the toe is out on an extreme angle (i.e. degrees rather than minutes if measured in degrees not inches). Usually this is due to damaged/broken components. As I said VERY VERY unlikely. Only seen it once and on a Landy Disco used mainly off road...
