I quite like that to be honest

It has crossed our minds. I have family in Auckland so somewhere like Christchurch wouldn't be too bad a shout :D (ignoring the seismic activity of course :scratching_chin:) Ha ha. According to IMDb "An experiment in genetic engineering turns harmless sheep into blood-thirsty killers that...

We've hired a camper van to trundle around in so (hopefully) it won't be too bad. Not much into fishing to be honest but I will give you a shout.

Sounds like we're going through a similar process. Having changed the drop links and track rod ends I'm now noticing other 'clunks' when on rough ground. I'm guessing that the new, stiffer, joints are showing up the wear elsewhere. With that in mind I'm probably going to change the...

I'd be very interested in seeing a write up.

I'll be there in January :D

Was it foggy? ;)

20,000 in mine last year

Yeah, that's what I thought until last year when the discussion about 'proper' winter tyres was really hotting up. I suppose the clinching factor for me was the absence of the mountain + snowflake symbol and the <7ºC thing.

It looks like it's just the (a) cover. Have you tried to see if it'll just press back on? You could perhaps push it back on and use some gaffer tape or similar to keep it in place as a temporary measure.

The Latitude Tour? No. They're an M+S all season. I'm using these Star Performer SPTS AS 225/55 R17 101H XL - mytyres.co.uk as my winter tyre. This is their second season. I had no problems at all last year.

Did you see my PM SV?

That looks like a new VCU anyway. I'd go back to whomever supplied it.

Will the collision sensing system be the same? I expect it's controlled by the ECU somewhere along the line.

I'd be up for that :D

Thanks. I just changed my discs and pads. Thought I should replace the guide pin bolts as they're a bit rubbish (and may as well replace the guide pins as well whilst I'm at it).

Mike, I installed an Aux 12v socket in the rear load space - see attached pdf. Alternatively, there's an unused switched feed to the rear of the centre console which I guess you could 'just' extend. Simon

I'm using the Michelin HP Latitude Tour. Great tyre in my opinion.

3, 6 (if for facelift) and 15 if they're still available and 1 x 8 please :) Paypal?

Sorry to see you go SV. In fact I was wondering where you were just the other day. Don't be a stranger eh?
