Re: 4 x 255/55/18 Michelin Lattitude Tour HP 5-6mm £160 new price

All I know is I've used them on my 4.6is and they were spot on and would make a cheap set if tires for someone, can't believe they haven't sold yet, I'll take offers on them, need to free up space in my garage.

Rightly or wrongly I changed my Alternator over Xmas and didnt disconnect the battery, just be careful and tape up the connectors, its really not difficult to do buddy.

Re: Coolant Top Up Frequency

It might be worth popping the bonnet as soon as you get home from a decent drive, I had a tiny pinhole leak that I only spotted when doing this, my header tank was starting to fail.

The good news is if is the header tank that needs replacing your only looking at about £40 and 15 mins to change  :)
