  1. Should be awesome and the heated screen and webasto should make winter driving bearable.
  2. Hi, do you still have the S80 V8?

      There's one for sale right now in Harrogate actually. I've seen it myself last year and it's an excellent example.

  3. Are you any good at sucking eggs. My grandma needs some advice.................
  4. Future classic. Especially in this condition.
  5. Yes the bumper will fit. Genuine or stupid is down to workmanship and opinion.

    Not worth considering the 4.4 V8? TBH I've been looking for a well specced 3.0i six but swmbo is wanting a V8.

    I'm seriously considering one of these next. I'm looking at the petrol engines because the annual millage is low. How are you getting on with yours?
  8. If it costs the same as an unbroken one why not just get your money back and buy a working one?
  9. How much does a broken Jaguar cost nowadays? Ballpark.
  10. Demon Tweaks have Toyo TR1 tyres on offer at the moment. I priced up 4 x 205/40/17 and was £170 and a few pennies. £42.50 each. https://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/special-offers/performance-tyres-special-offers/toyo-t1-r-performance-tyres-buy-3-get-the-4th-free-bundle Not sure how long the offer is on for.
  11. As a long time Call of Duty fan who has bought every new edition every year I will not be buying this year. The whole model of Micro transactions is disgusting and the games are no longer what they used to be. With games like Fortnite available for free whats the point of paying £45 plus DLC costs and the micro transactions if you choose to pay for them. This year they are not having a penny of my cash.
  12. I'm still lurking. I need a fixed date so I can organise around work.
  13. Morning I'm still considering the 40 profiles after what's been said. I've seen the following on Black Circles, all prices include fitting 205/40/17 X4 Kumho ecsta PS71 = £294.64 X4 Avon ZZ5 = £285.92 205/45/17 X4 Kumho ecsta PS71 = £299.48 X4 Avon ZZ5 = £319.20 So Kumho vs Avon...any thoughts? Any one else fitted the tigar or roadmasters as mentioned by @headingawayofski?
  14. The tyres I have now are cheap Chinese crap. They came with the wheels. They offer no traction and are frankly dangerous in the wet, spinning the wheels in the wet in third if you try accelerate and understeers like a pig.
  15. Right I think I'll try the 205/45's I'll be back later with makes of tyres. I've a budget of around £300 for 4 fitted. I'm looking at kumhos or Avon at the moment.
  16. Can I just reiterate one more time. I don't care about the rolling radius and how it affects speed or the speedo reading. I think that's the third time now.
  17. Yes correct for Mk2 not Mk1 There is no correct 17" tyre for Mk1 as they were never fit as standard or calibrated for the speedo. 40 is the closest to standard that is all.
  18. You seem to be missing the point here. 205/40 are recommended because they are closest to the standard rolling radius, this does not make them the correct size. Has anyone fitted 45's on there fab? What where the consequences other than speedo reading slightly out?
  19. I'm already on 17's with 205/40
  20. Why are they the correct size though?
