Are 275/35/20 safe to use on the Front???

Needing some new front tyres and have a pair of 275/35/20 sitting doing nothing, will these be ok or will they upset the speed sensors?? I know its meant to be 275/40/20 but hope the other ones will do!!!!

Re: DSC Light 4X4 light And Trans Failsafe Mode all come on

It's definitely battery issues for me hopefully not alternator though!! Have Charged Battery over night twice now and it lasts for about 4 days driving with no warning lights or trans fail safe but then 1 by 1 they all re-appear until it dies completely!! New battery being delivered tomorrow morning ...

Re: DSC Light 4X4 light And Trans Failsafe Mode all come on

Well I've had the Ipod unplugged for a few days and its still not right! The car died on me when I was driving it yesterday, no battery power at all only clicked when I tried to start it. Left it for 3 hours and tried again and it started straight away only to die again 2 mins later!! Think it has ...

Re: 4.8iS wont start

It was the pump which had failed, I has bought a new 1 just in case so it was easy enough to strip sender unit and fit new pump, once that was done car fired up first time! :)

Re: DSC Light 4X4 light And Trans Failsafe Mode all come on

yes going to try that first along with diagnostic, the battery is difficult to see as its now hidden under the spare wheel LPG tank that the previous owner fitted, which incidentally is why I have no Sub enclosure, it has been removed to re-house the suspension compressor, so I may have to take the ...

Nice new problem this morning, all the transmission related warning lights came on and the sat nav screen died at once but car still driving. Stopped to turn off and restart and everything clicking, headlights flickering as if battery had given up on the spot. Tried it twice and same thing happened ...

Re: Intrevee For E53

Sorry Sanj I didn't word it very well!! I was comparing the position that X555 used to put his enclosure that's all. I have a space where it should be and you are spot on 2 on the dash and 4 in each door (speakers)
thanks for the link I will try and get that as it really needs some bottom end to ...

Re: Intrevee For E53

I think the OEM Sub has been removed as I cannot find it anywhere, if X555 has replaced OEM 1 then mine is defo missing in action! the system isn't too bad, I can live with it but it does miss the sub so I will need to track 1 down!!

Re: Intrevee For E53

yes that's exactly how I use it so it will work perfectly if I use the alpine 420i and the intravee which is great.
now the next thing is the amount of speakers. According to the chassis build sheet it has "HIFI System Professional DSP" which should be 10 but I only count 2 x Tweeters and 2 x ...
