Re: Breaking: blue 2.0 z3
Hey,
Just wondering if this a model with the m sports suspension. If so, I'm interested in the springs (maybe a couple of other bits of trim too). If you could post the VIN, it would help us see what spec the car is
Thanks!

I had been thinking about it as well after my dad converted our Corolla to LPG (I must say it's rather brilliant as a workhorse and daily driver now that it's so cheap to run). I took the car to a specialist and they had a tank that would fit the diameter of the spare well, but the tank would be sit...

Dent repair and scratch cover-up won't set you back more than £150. First, it probably isn't worth making an insurance claim for that amount of money, thus involving your insurance company and the police is probably not the best option. Secondly, if you're fussed about the repair cost, take it easy ...

Happy to report that upping tyre pressures to 2.4 bars all around resulted in slightly crisper handling, better behaviour over bumps and potholes and, dare I say it, mildly better fuel economy (38mpg on the trip computer instead of my usual 37 on that trip, that's a 50 mile drive at a steady 60-70mp...

Re: Pressures
The factory pressures are always on the low side - I use FK-452 in seventeen inch sizes, and find 2.4 bar is the optimum. I'm on the same tyres, I tend to overinflate by 10% and use 2.2 front and 2.4 for the rear instead of the manual's stated 2.0 and 2.2... The manual's stated figures seem to make...
