Aberdeen Chris Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Ouch! A plaster should fix that, as you say £7 not too bad. Time to go to main dealer perhaps and be shure I suppose. Incidentally I averaged 57 mpg on a 370 mile round dial trip on the Michelin Alpin 5's , and the road noise was no greater than the standard tyre. Usually winter rubber is more noise you and has a small mpg cost! I did an oil and filter change this week, and to avoid compromising the warranty I got the Havoline engine oil and filter supplied from the main dealer. The cost was very reasonable and I have a receipt to prove if necessary that I didn't use the wrong oil. They had me take my own containers for the oil as they get it in Big drums. I couldn't have bought it cheaper myself and the filters where only £1.70 more than ebay'so best price. It was snowing here on Boxing Day : - ) Good luck getting you're winter rubber on 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have had some ice, but no snow yet. The days seem to vary from about -2 degrees up to about 11 degrees at the moment, much weirdness.

Aberdeen Chris Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Strange weather indeed, we had some snow on Boxing day : - ) I'll dig out the receipt and see if they listed the price of the centres. Happy new year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swayze88 Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 So finally put the "new" wheels and tyres on the xv, ready for the cold weather (and the fact the summer rubber was on the brink of legality) need to give the car a wash, but I think they look pretty good!

Aberdeen Chris Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I like the colour of your new wheels. They look good. Yep it's that time of year, time to get my winter rubber out of the shed and hope it doesn't rain for a bit lol I hope your winter tread serves you well 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
