Re: Diesel Vs Premium Diesel

Mine stalls when warm on occasions. Thought having premium diesel might help...not sure yet.

Re: Tom's static b6 on Bentleys :)

That's an incredible difference on that rear quarter...I bet you wished you had done it earlier. What did you use to correct the paint?

Diesel Vs Premium Diesel

Been having a looky on the interweb and seems a bit of a mixed bag about this. Since I had some troubles last summer with the Beesix and running I decided to start using Supreme Diesel from Esso. Since the swap I have needed hardly any regens for my DPF and it seems to be running much smoother. I ha...

Re: Glow plug fault

Sounds like a bloody nightmare. Mine cut out on me the other day in the middle of the road whilst I was crossing traffic. Took about 3 minutes to start again, needless to say I wasn't popular.

I think my fault has something to do with my DPF though and the air flow.

Re: Rotational tyres?

Got the fronts put on the rears today. As for tracking the two garages I went too couldn't help me. 1) There tracking system goes over the top of the wheel and apparently there wasn't enough room between the arch and top of wheel. No arch gap. 2) The second garage couldn't track it also because it w...

Re: Rotational tyres?

I put my spare alloy wheel on last year and unfortunately it had to rotate the wrong way, wrong side of the car and it handled horrifically. I was going to get a space saver which could have gone on all four corners if I need. I will just get the fronts put on the rears and see if they can track my ...

Rotational tyres?

As you can imagine camber wear on a lowered car is a nightmare. I seem to have to replace my tyres every 6 months which atm is killing me financially! :cry: I was wondering what tyres are best for being able to rotate them around the car so that the camber worn tyre is then put on the outer edge of ...
