ugh sometimes don't you hate owning a car and having to fork out for it to run right? My drivers side front tyre needed replacing because it was nearly illegal, but mostly because someone or some kid had slashed the tyre and you could see the inner tube when you lifted up the flap of rubber... wasnt deflating but still putting pressure on the tyre wall itself  so that was 70 quid. Next I have to change my front discs which will be another 60-70 fitted. possibly rear drums too as I have done 38k and they might be worn out too. And then there's tax which is due 30th this month And to top it off I got a load of cleaning stuff again for the car and spent a good few hours Sunday making it shiney and nice again, dressing the tyres aswell, looked very nice... until I wokr up this morning and saw it raining outside :*( |

After finishing work on Saturday, found car had flat tyre. Pumped up same and drove home. Flat again. Pumped up again. Has stayed ok since.  Don't know whats happening. Only odd thing was that I ran over small animal on way to work (rabbit, cat??). Maybe God is exacting his revenge  New tyre is £120 so hope it stays inflated. |

The previous owner of my car must have fitted them just before he traded it in? When it comes to renewing them I'll probably be getting Toyos as they get a good write-up and are a bit cheaper. |

yeah it's damn satisfying when u talk to the average nova boy who knows nothing and when they say they spent the morning working under the hood which really means they put some oil in lol

I found out about this forum 3 days before I picked up car. If only there was forums like this 20 years ago!. (If only there were computers 20 years ago!). Best thing since sliced bread.  |

so that was 70 quid.
