    tyres "bed in" making them quieter

    Yeah i need to get used to them. Fitted to do a job i suppose, The only comparison i have is to standard road tyres so for me they are strangely loud. Do i need to inflate them any more than normal, for road use motorways ect?

    tyres "bed in" making them quieter

    Any tips on making all terrain tyres quieter. Just bought Event ml698 similar to bfgoodrich Running them at 30psi They are 1 day and 80mile old. Wondering if they will go quieter once the new "tassles" have worn off?

    Freelander pulsating vibration at speed

    My input here. As already stated make sure you have all the same 4 tyres and the same pressure. Could also need wheel balancing New propshaft bearings

    Good point. Me saying half the story again. Don't do it on the battery. Try a search on google for the full process

    flashing engine light on dash

    Shows it has stored a code. Needs to be turned off, maybe dried out and no harm done. There is a way to turn the mil light off by rubbing the two battery leads together. did it several times on the golf. Try searching for it on Google (not the best way though)

    flashing engine light on dash

    You could get the codes read. see if it comes up with a fault, Sounds as if you could have done something, shouldn't do it any harm though once in a while after getting mine very dirty the engine bay gets a light mist over with the power washer. Try going out side in the dark, While the...
