I'm unsure how you mean that, but I am now back in France and they are in UK and can you see anybody paying for shipping four tyres back to the UK and then another four tyres to France as well as paying for demounting and re-fitting four tyres ? That would also mean my car being off the road in...

I've mentioned both, but obviously the age is not subjective, whereas the cracking is and I'm not going to be commissioning any experts reports for deterioration. I have asked for 30% rebate - approx £ 60 - so will await their response.

What do you base your five-year stock and still new comment on ? The tyre I chose ( Nokian WR ) is one of the best two winter-tyres - regularly top of comparative tests with a Continental Contact - so I would expect it to be one of the most available as it is also reasonably priced. Obviously...

3 500 miles or so.

The tyre business was sold to Cooper Tire some time back.

Yes, they did deliver Avons.

That's interesting. I may have a look at a few more sites to see if that crops up.

Presumably by checking any possible suppliers for stock. Unsure what you mean. They were certainly unused. I didn't notice until changing them after the winter as I said above, so my first contact was with BC. I was in England when I bought them and they were delivered to a garage ( not...

Hi All Just asking if you have ever dealt with this company and what your experiences were ? I did this winter and things were not great. A short resumé of my experiences. 1) Ordered some unusual winter tyres - Nokian brand - computer said in stock and I ordered 2) Next day someone calls me...

I had exactly the same experience with a tyre fitted at KwikFit and for some reason I didn't make the instinctive jump to link the two: maybe there was other work done at the same time, but not by them I hasten to add. When I returned it, they tried to charge me for a couple of hundred miles...

Take care - they break easily ( especially when using your favoured tools :) )

My experience with o.e. or major-branded batteries is they last 7 - 10 years, so to that extent the minimum guarantee period is irrelevant I have no experience of other non-branded makes, but would tend to think they will not be so long-lived because : 1) unlike some products /brands (Nike...

PET ( Polyethylene terephthalate) Just rolls off the tongue, eh ?

Yes- you should change your name to footpump_masochist ( unless, of course, you saw without using the motor which would be really hard-core :giggle:)

Cat apart, what about all the other components in the system (valves, oil, exhaust ) that are going to be affected by very short spurts of combustion and the engine never really getting above ambient temperature ?

Well, my comment may have been pointed, but did you feel disrespected ?

Well that was a storm in the proverbial teacup . Sonic 70, do you go around complaining that not all the goods in Poundshops are not all one pound ?

Either they believe that this somehow binds you tightly to their system ...or... they are these dopey nerds for whom the "app" is the Holy Grail and getting people to download it, is more important than actually selling them power at a profit

Don't have such a thing in Germany.

At the moment nothing. It isn't going to be this score stopping the engine starting and I greatly doubt it will have any effect when it does run. Do what Mottie said about carb and fuel.
