Assuming it's an e90/91/92 and not an e46?

Looking on donedeal. There's two private sales at 7k and one in a dealer at 10k - which is ridiculously overpriced. I paid that for an '06 535d two years ago.

quadrifoglio verde · 19-01-2015 01:53AM

Need to replace the Toyo Proxes on the gtv in the next few weeks, anyone got any advice on which tyres to replace them with.
Requirements are excellent grip in dry and wet, reasonably hard wearing (Im happy getting 15k miles from a set of tyres) and I couldn't really give a **** about fuel economy or noise, if I got the other two.

Currently Im thinking of either the goodyear eagle f1s, the goodyear efficient grip performance, uni royal rain sports or the dunlop sportmax

Any one have any other advice

MetzgerMeister · 19-01-2015 02:16AM

F1's or fvck off

It was minus 4 degree for most of my trip to cork this morning. Can't complain too much as the roads were well gritted in most spots just the odd parts were a bit icy. The Worst part of the whole thing was that the inside of my windscreen was frozen solid that takes soooo long to clear off using the heater and trying to dry the water of it. First time it happened although I think it was a lot to do with the car sitting up over the weekend and not being driven.

Anyway have a safe trip for anyone that's driving this morning I'm sure there is parts of the country that are quite bad.

Mycroft H · 19-01-2015 09:34AM

Inside windscreen frost? Not seen that since the defender, the poor heater would take an age to clear up. If it ever did. A wooly hat was mandatory wear on cold mornings in that.

There is a guy in my class with a 07 mk5 golf too and he is always complaining about condensation on the inside of the window but he says that if you turn the fan speed to 0 when the car is parked it doesn't happen. It's the first time it happened to me.

Noccy_Mondy · 19-01-2015 09:43AM

Happened me before, not that often though, it's rear I'd have a car sitting over the weekend. It's due to the car lying up, hence condensation building up on the inside, and if it's cold enough it'll freeze.

So heard on the radio that insurance will go up 20% pretty much across the board, due to high claims and what ever voodoo **** insurance companies will think off.
This will really **** me up with my scooby insurance...

On average. .
They might skew those of us in "above average bhp" land a bit more.

Or they might bias it against those in areas of high claims and in the "riskiest" cars... limerick passat owners gonna feel it if that's the case!

It would be nice to see a sophisticated statistical analysis of risks and costs resulting in a highly-targeted increase in premiums as and when appropriate. In reality, this being Ireland, you're probably looking at something more like "We must do something, randomly jacking up prices across the board is something, therefore we must do that". The specific actuarial method is "What about that thick-looking fella there in the old Jag. Perfect. Sog 15% onto him there, be grand!!" :pac:

F1's are miles ahead in terms of grip on the initial turn in. Rainsports are ok but by no means a sports tyre.

GvidoR · 19-01-2015 03:05PM

Very reasonable price, eh?

Honda Irelands parts have arrived

Just waiting on the new bumper to arrive. New rad is in and the rest of the pieces.
Should have it back by the end of the week

jimgoose · 19-01-2015 03:08PM

Possibly a silly question, but does anyone know if parking discs are transferable across issuing jurisdictions, i.e. is one purchased in Cork usable in Limerick?
