  1. Having done more research/reading, I have some more questions:-

    I currently have

    Dunlop SP Sport 225/45R18 fronts

    Dunlop SP Sport 255/45R18 rears

     

    fronts are on wear limit and need replacing before MOT on Dec5th.

    rears have only half worn down. got another 2 years easy on them

     

    do I replace fronts with Dunlop SP sports £249? or replace all 4 with Uniroyal rainsports £340?

     

    Are Dunlop SP sports better tyres than Uniroyal rainsports? no one has mentioned the Dunlop sp sports.

    they used to be the best tyre didn't they?

  2. I have read all the pinned posts on tyres and several posts underneath.

     

    What I'd like to know is which sites are good for purchasing tyres.

    In the past I've used www.tyreleader.co.uk

     

    I live in Suffolk. Was considering buying online.

     

    Considering Falken 453s

     

  3. update.

    Mechanic replaced my camshaft and crankshaft sensors.

    It drove fine for 3 days, but today , car pulled back and the same dashboard lights came on (engine, ESP, skidding).

    Plugged EOBD code reader in, it says P0340,

    which manual says is "Camshaft position sensor A - bank 1 circuit malfunction"

     

    which is same code from before.

     

    any help/comments/experiences?

  4. so, when the mechanic plugged my car in, it said I had a faulty camshaft sensor.

     

    Nissan parts were around £150 each sensor = around £450 total,

    so he ordered generic parts from America on a 4 week lead time, £50 total for 2 camshaft and 1 crankshaft sensors (plus import tax?). Ordered crankshaft sensor too, just in case.

     

    Mechanic has removed engine fault lights from dash.

    I have to drive it for 4 weeks until parts come in.

    Drove this morning to work, engine lights haven't come back on yet.

     

    Any comments from anyone?
