  1. Any steering vibration and the first port of call is to check the wheel balancing, so I'd get that checked first. Failing that, if the vibration is magnified when adjusting the steering wheel, it may be that the lower arm compliance bush is starting to give up, but that should have been visible when checking over the suspension.
  2. That's in Thailand. Songkran is the Thai new year, the whole place turns into a giant water party, everyones got supersoakers and buckets full of talc powder! Fella should've known better :angry:
  3. Now that's what i call faith in your tyres!
  4. We can source the Neuton NT5000 ER, thats the directional pattern, they also do an assimetrical pattern, the NT8000. When you decide on the size chuck me a PM and I'll get you some prices together
  5. The ZE912 is a great tyre, we sell tons and never hear a bad thing said about them. Excellent value for money!
  6. Bridgestone are quite vague on the whole subject, but all the other manufacturers take a strog stance on it. Either way, like you said, until Tyre Pressure Monitoring systems advance, it's impossible to tell how long the tyre has been run, and to big a risk to take a customers word on. So replacement is the only option.
  7. We don't repair runflats, very few garages do. Because of the reinforced sidewall its impossible to tell what kind of internal damage has been done while its been under-inflated. I think there's a horror of the week thread relating to when they get repaired and go wrong!! We've been taking the RFT's off of BMW's etc. for a while now. Only ever had positive feedback about it. As well as the four new tyres, the geometry needs to be tweaked to take away as much rear camber as possible, to cope with the new flexability in the tyres sidewalls

    "copious SICK DRIFT SKILLZ" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6BAA1i4pH4...feature=related That's more like it with your car crash history Pedro!
  9. Yeah, we got in touch with Audi themselves as well as three different M.O.T testers (just to be sure) It's an intentional and perfectly legal change.
  10. Not illegal, Audi release them like that to cure VAG's legendary understeer problems. From an MOT point of view as long as the tyre size is the same across the axle, they can be smaller on the rear. Technically you could have porsche GT3 wheels on the front and mini wheels on the rear if you decided to!
  11. ER I just checked and 195/60/15 winter tyres are widely available at the moment. As it stands the choices are Michellin, bridgestone, dunlop and a few budget winters. Ring the centre for some prices if you like!
  12. Because the Falken ze912 is an assymetrical tyre, it can only be fitted one way, so i guess the manufacturers thought it'd be a waste of time printing run out lines on them!
  13. The comment underneath makes me laugh! "Can you spot the significant safety failing in this video? That's correct. The hard hat has not been secured by a chin strap."
  14. Back on the job!! Thanks for all the nice messages!! The eyes fine now thatnks, apart from it looking like im constantly winking at everyone haha, Back on the case with the honda!
  15. Amazing what you can do with an empty street and a bit of computer technology!
