Had those on my A6, bit too soft for heavy cars i found

I know its not a race car but, feel a bit soft in the side walls and on greasy roads and even frosty front end grip is poor,
Found my old td6 the same on goodyear wrangler road tyres,
I have had alignment checked,
I did initially think it was due to the s/c being stiffer then the td6 but on another thought you also got motors with ace which would be even stiffer cornering wise so doubted that theory,

It actually feels like my skid car did on crap front tyres until i put soft compound semi slicks on the front

To be fair iv had goodyears on the back of that and they're poor for grip on that too,

Yeah, I found front end grip poor on the audi with them. Was disappointed cuz meant to be a good brand and in an awd car expected better.

Brilliant on a warm dry day tho!

Ours is taller then a usual Jack Russell but skinner in the legs, can jump like no tomorrow dare say if he was brave enough to get a grip he'd be able to climb onto the lower tailgate himself, hes got his own blanket for the back of the RR and in the colder months just curls up on the heated rear seats,
Got the expense of 4 new tyres next month and while they've been okay im not really impressed with the goodyear Eagle f1,
Also need to sort an ac pipe as 25° a black Interior its stuffy, at least the sunshine roof works though

Mine is like a Jack Russel on stilts, he can jump into the back of the P38 but much prefers to ride in the front of the Transit.

For my money, Nexen Rodian M+S take a lot of beating, good wet grip and quiet too, my mate had them on his L322 and liked them.

There aren't really any quality tyres for less than that.

True. If you want quality you gotta pay that little bit more

I've been on Yokohama Geolander A/T G015s for about a year and a half, 400 the set. Can't complain. Maybe not the as grippy in the wet as the Uniroyal Rallye 4x4 Street I had on before, but are better in mud and snow by a country mile and cost about 30 a corner less.


She dropped a bunch of fuel on the road at Tesco. Got her home and it turns out the #2 to #3 spill off pipe had spilt on the #2 nipple. I can only assume because it wasn't fully pushed on since I am using the Gates stuff everyone recommended. I made doubly sure it was fully pushed home this time. Hopefully no more wasted fuel.

Bloomin' NRV i put in the rear wiper has bust, screener all over everywhere

Is there a fuse i can pull to disable the l322 suspension? Want to check underneath without having to leave a door open

No way you should go under the car without axle stands, in which case you do not need to disable the suspension. You would be mad to trust the bludy thing staying up when you are under it.
