guess mine must be tired after 80k UK roads then...cos thats a decent brand
Apart from unforgivable pothole behaviour, continuously very slightly rippley road at 60 mph+ has it losing composure, not floaty (dream..?!) just confused and unsettled deterring higher speed...
the picture is pin sharp on my basic Nokia, however once emailed to my pc via yahoo, it finishes up seemingly at c 5% of original res!
Can read all small print on tyre on phone!
I can recommend the HDi
pulls from idle in 6th
52mpg
The ramp up of 250lb ft torques pushes u back hard in second and is like a powerful jet liner in 3rd, and 4th too in winter cold air
Temps above 10c really dull the performance it seems
Gearshift is best I have ever used and couldnt be...
I simply used autoglym super resin and buffed vigorously by hand to clear substantial longterm clouding - using a rotary buffer, avoiding paint, followed by extra gloss protection would b ultimate
:)
eeeek, your roads are infinitely better than mainland then... u can expect to hit a 4" deep vertical sharp edged hole of several square feet, multiple times a minute on a lot of the roads...
I too looked at HR, agree visually too much gap, despite 19" rims.
In Theory (HDi model) and because of...
I finish the hoops with Extra Gloss Protection by Autoglym after buffing with the super resin - lasts weeks sol far, and genuinely dazzles like a mirror from across a road
Would Love to see an RC fully alloy bodied like this... :)
Look sooo futuristic :)
i dont get it - I check several times each week and there is next to nothing being discussed (other than occasional fault)
Never known such an under appreciated beautiful future classic....
car wash will b using aggressive solvents that attack exposed metal
I have used Autoglym Resin to remove marks followed by Super Gloss Protect (or similar name) also by Autoglym
Restored to PERFECT - they were v good to start with mind, but did have the white markings that would not wipe off...
Having had complete d1ckhead screw up everything he touched, incl drivin concours RC into kerb, breaking crank bolt, and creating coolant leak after pump change + charging £200 for a job not done, I am desperate to find someone competent I can actually trust
tad envious on both, your location, and this find of the last perfect road in the UK.....
Utterly detest what the local roads have done to my suspension, wheels and tyres since purchase just 5 mths back - Only 3k mls, all of which have been driven with second by second vigilance for pot holes...
'rides smooth and nicely' is a huge testament as to difference in road condition NL / UK....
UK is absolutely decimated by serious potholes...hundreds per mile is not uncommon
could u give a detailed description please of most road conditions ride comparison
Is there less interference with the tyre - Std system's spring seat doesnt allow for higher profile tyres
got the hi gloss autogylm sealant on...then it threw it down overnight
Of course, looked stunning with water beaded up, leathered down and out on the road
Parked up across from an outdoor pub bench on village green...
Just couldnt believe how stunning these cars are.......to me they are right...
