I am using 1045 Galfers as I arranged the group buy, I sourced these before the group buy and then alot of people wanted them so it went big air -
The 1045s are fine for everyday driving -more feel with the pedal and harder compound than OEM. The 1055's are the fast road version and by all accounts are very good, I havnt used them yet as my 1045s have hardly warn-but then I did get 18,000 miles out of the OEM ones due to 'my smooth driving style' ..lol

That is cheeky as! Using someone elses car on ebay and not even scrubing the number plate away!

IDIOT!

 

[quattroman]

Any one know who this person is as they havnt had any replys or feedback ..
Very naughty doing that though... not good and obviously nobody from this site as everybody has seen the car and - showing number plate too - DIC*H***
Just not done!!
If it is somebody on here, they should be banned IMHO

Awesome thanks everyone. Really appreciate it. I guess the two things I want to avoid is 1. Too frequent replacements, 2. reduction in stopping power.

Ill check out the guide, and then beg hairy to save me when I get in a mess )

Really appreciate the time everyone thanks.

Ruddles eh ? Fantastic beer, I used to live not far from its source and now I live down in Reading town, any decent beer is a treat Ruddles is a rare treat these days.

I also think I will recognise the pattern before long: Tyres, brakes, tyres, brakes,tyres, brakes,tyres, brakes,tyres, brakes,tyres, brakes,tyres, brakes,tyres, brakes,tyres, brakes,tyres, brakes,tyres, brakes,tyres, brakes,tyres, brakes,tyres, brakes,tyres, brakes,tyres, brakes,tyres.

BROKE. LOL.

Doh! Nothing is as nasty as servicing an Alfa GTV at an alfa dealer though. £2500 they wanted at 28k miles. Hence I came back to Seat Cupra.

FYI - I just rooted through my wallet and found the business card of a top chap I met when getting a MOT on the Alfa, he offered to do the Alfa £400 service for £120. Anyway I wanted it to remain in dealer servicing so I didnt go.

BuT

I just called him to see what he could do brake wise. Front sets fitted (he will come to work). £121

OK, so he is using OE parts, which I know some will question. But its convenient and cheaper (by £100) than my dealer. In fact the parts from EMMER GREEN are more than this chap will fitr them for.

Sorry Hairy - if I ever get to meet you Ill try and rememeber a Ruddles for you just for your offer of help ;-)

Cheers everyone.
