    I was kind of joking, but €13 just sounds far too cheap. Tyreland was the best value I found.

    Nah seriously, €13 for a tyre. Although they're just about legal to get you through the NCT

    Just enough "to get you through" the NCT shouldn't be your main concern when buying tyres imo

    Well, tbf I don't think the long term safety of the cars is Cgals main objective, getting them through the NCT so he can sell them is.

    Not much help to Gollwog though.

    Ah yeah, that's fair enough, but in saying that, if they're ~£90 on Camskill, they can't be THAT much dearer locally.

    Those BFGoorich's do get great reviews, guys in a M3, ST, and MX5 all give it great reviews on that site.

    Yes you see i think there around 130 -140 depending on where i go.
    So im not sure whether to spend the extra 30 or 40 quid on them or just give the bf goodrich a go... decisions decisions eh?
    Any other recomendations while im here?

    i am fecking puzzled.... i just found balancing weights from the wheel on the ground where mazda is usually parked. i cant see from which wheel those are as wheels not dirty enought to see. how the feck that is even possible?! i just took it and placed on the metal sheet and it glued to it like crazy... so how the feck it could have poped off from a standing car?! :confused:

    i am getting some sort of unlucky streak here...

    Anyone know anything about landmowers?
    Last week I had the petrol mower upside down, tearing off all the old grass from underneath and spun the rotor a bit by hand. Oil came pouring out from somewhere under the motor on the topside of the mower (maybe 50ml-100ml)

    When I started it up, white smoke filled the garden and its a big-ass garden! Now it sounds like the piston is slapping (the valves I presume?). But it ran for an hour since and seems to be alright, although it doesn't seem to get up to full speed and is drinking the fuel.

    What would cause oil to leak out like that by turning the blade? Does the rotation of the blade work as the oil pump?
