Iv seen them and pm'd him about them and the wind deflectors but seem to be in here often .

Iv ordered some blank ones for now off eBay (£6) including delivery , look the same without the writing on which he m not sure if anyway.might check quality of them first then if there any good maybe add a scn sticker if it looks ok.

Fitted 4 new AVON ZZ5s

225 40 ZR18 92Y

£319.96 all in

Not too bad I thought

Had 2 Dunlop Sportmax TTs, 1 Sportmax RT and Cooper on from the previous owner.

Liked the Sportmaxx but wear too fast. In comparison when I swapped front to back a few weeks ago I realised the Cooper was made from concrete!

Went for the ZZ5 rather than the ZV5 as the wet grip is a lot better.

ZZ5 rates at E for economy, A for wet grip and 70db noise. The ZV5 was C, C, 72db.

It now feels a little smoother and a little more direct at the front.

Car back from the garage today , lots of work done; front suspension arm, drop links, new rear anti roll bar and links, rear shocks, pads, fluid and filter service and four wheel alignment. Drives like new, very pleased. Feels a million times better than before and you can't compare it to the 206 I've been using.

Broke down last night and got recovered to the dealer. PD170 so feared injector fault but was hoping for something like blocked fuel filter. However, turns out the stud holding the cam belt tensioner in place had worked loose and the the very slack cambelt had slipped, retarding the timing! Luckily engine was fine but had to have the hole for the stud helicoiled, new stud fitted, new tensioner and new cambelt! Car is now running absolutely sweet, doesn't misfire occasionally as it did previously and is quieter than it was.

Best bit - free of charge - big compliments to Gareth Hughes motors of Sardis, Haverfordwest for excellent service and super fast turnaround despite clearly being really busy. I expect the cost will be recovered from seat uk as clearly a manufacturing defect. They said they had never seen this before.

Lucky escape I think.

I finally found out why the balancing could never be fully sorted, both rear wheels have a slight kink in them! 2 new wheels needed:cry:

Do I bite the bullet and just get 4 new alloys and try to find 2 straight 18" Andromedas? Decisions decisions.....

Can they not be repaired? If you were closer, i have a set of 4 Andromedas in my shed that are cheap... All in need a refurb though.

Is it really noticeable on the rears? rear wheel balancing is a lot less noticeable than it is on the fronts
