Glad this was dug up :D

I changed my front tires today - tramlining has gone, almost completely. It cannot be considered an issue at all anymore... and omg, the awesome effect it has had on the steering too..

Moral of the story - if it tramlines, you need new tires ;)

Thats becuase you've gone for tyres with a nice squidgy sidewall which removes tramlining..

... and all the steering feel, handling, etc ;)

Sounds exactly like Eagle F1's to me :p In which case you can add to that list - near death!

what a nightmare, leaving the gym tonight and my wipers failed :( nothing there at all :confused:
Strange I had the same thing about a week after I got mine, it was at night and I had to travel about 5 miles in light rain, luckily the traffic was so bad that my max speed was 5mph.

Then later on that evening when it stopped raining I left work to travel home and the heavens opened and down came loads of rain, was just about to pull over and give in to calling the AA when all of a sudden the wipers swung into action and I've not had a problem since.

Since then the car has also had a full diag on all it's systems and nothing was reported for this, I take it you have the auto sensing wipers?

I do indeed, the stranger thing is that they started working this morning
