Why does the non turbo roll easier than the turbo
i would be inclined to agree, 4 wheel drive vehicles are supposed to have the same rolling radius, if you have wider wheels at one end than the other then different tyre sizes are a must to get the correct radius but if all the wheels are the same width then the tyres must be too

Forester 2.0 XT rear shocks
ahh right i see what you mean now, i think we have our wires crossed mate, the self levelling units on the suspension don't just adjust the shockers they use the signals to adjust the headlights, the motors are self levelling but they need the sensors on the shocks to know whats going on, if that makes sense?

Nother newbie
i was quoted £1500 for an import sti and also the exact same for a 3.0TD hilux surf import, yet from the same company was quoted £900 for a Porsche 997, my turbo 2000 is just over £300, i didn't get asked about alarm immobiliser or tracker for it whereas the import could only be insured with all 3 i have 10 years NCB and 1 sp30 speeding fine

Forester 2.0 XT rear shocks
does the car have factory fit hid lights? that's the only legal mot reason needed for self levelling, otherwise it's just a comfort thing, if your happy to sacrifice comfort (minimal difference) then i'd go for the cheaper ones, but if you have factory hid's then it's all down to the mot tester, if he wants to be strict he can fail hids of the correct requirements aren't met, they are self levelling suspension projector unit for the hid bulb headlight washers

South Yorkshire meeting 8th October
jeez that's not good, gotta be a defective tyre surely, i'd write an email with pics to the manufacturer see if they can offer any compensation, explain what a bit part you play on many car forums and that you will spread the word about their shoddy products

Leaking fuel tank
what about that metal putty stuff? i used some on a throttle body once, i was smoothing it down on the inside and making it more stream lined and larger and went through with the die grinder, i applied some metal putty and left it over night and it was solis as steel when i went back to it, i was then able to sand it down for a good finish too http://www.wickes.co.uk/metal-repair-epoxy-putty-50g/invt/243792/?source=123_74&tmcampid=104&tmad=c&tmplaceref=PPC_ggl_0006635&tmcustom=mkwid|W5fPyZGt_dc|pcrid|7531858372|match||plid|&gclid=CIbluOr93rkCFaTLtAod9mgAEQ

3M vinyls the best by far, that's what most of the good sign writers and vinyl wrappers use, also there are proper vinyl aplication tools available on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3M-BLUE-FELT-PRO-WRAPPING-SQUEEGEE-TOOL-4-Carbon-Fibre-Vinyl-APPLICATOR-/251323352634?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3a840a063a
