Hi, I'm running 235/45x17 tyres on my 5.5 wagon! Could anyone tell me what pressures I should be running? Cheers all

Woo hoo a local . welcome aboard!

I get something similar in my car most of the time I just leave the car in auto on the ADS system but if I am contemplating a quick overtake or a run off the lights I switch it to dynamic.

Anyone else any input?

Stalk failure is common .

Mmm, will have a closer listen for that! Where is the hazards relay?

Coilovers are only best on a track, and only then good quality units. Weitec so-so, Cheap stuff is for looks only, cant beat a proper set of shocks and lowering springs for quality and handling.
