Fair enough, I thought the tyres were the main cause, the trouble is they've done 8K miles and there's still LOADS of tread on them

I think I just had my first experience of how bad the Bridgestones really are (unless someone tells me it's just the way the zed handles).
I was on the A50 dual carriage way, the road was wet, I exited a roundabout and just about to overtake, started to accelerate when the car started to fishtail unexpectedly, traction control was on but didn't kick in. Now I've had the back end out before but this was just a bit of a surprise
Is this a Bridgestone thing?? I wasn't going mental with a heavy right foot before anyone asks

Uh-oh this doesn't bode well
-
Yes you should get a discount by supplying your own oil although Dan Perkins in Slough have only offered £15
Amsoil 5W40 and Silkolene Pro S have both been recommended to me. PM an admin for discount codes.

This time next week I should be able to comment on Dan Perkins Slough as I'll have had a P2 service done and they'll have fixed my non functioning Bose CD player....won't they?!

Dry roasted obviously being the gentleman's choice

When I filled up the other day they had all the V-Power advertising blurb (with new fat arsed Alfa Brera), but the pump still showed Optimax so I don't know whether it was the old 98 RON stuff or the new all power busting 99 RON....

It's a lottery! I wave, no flash. If you flash and they're no enthusiast you always get a dirty look. If you wave then they have to be looking at you to wave back and are more likely to be "in the club"

Cheers Kev. I just never thought to post up asking who'd like recommended
I've now recommended two

Or you could also PM me I'm a V-Power Club Member that could do with the extra points to

For literally peanuts you can make her sound even superior
What do you do with the peanuts??

If it's a UK car the dealer will be able to check the warranty database based on reg or VIN. If it's less than 3 years old it will be under warranty.

Hmmmm actually the wee boy has all off that except the scalextrix!

Coupe just by the Plough and Harrow this afternoon, reg starts with OU, I didn't wave as I was on foot, going to fly a kite.....my son's that is, not mine
-
Ok this time round I've gone for the Silkolene Pro S, but next time I'll be trying out the Amsoil 5w-30. I'm pretty sure I won't notice the difference!
-
About 11am this morning, can't remember the plate
-
Well yours better be clean, I've just washed and polished mine
No doubt I'll see you soon then!
-
Well **** me sideways with a bandstand, that would have been me!
-
Well it's Slough or Aldershot. Aldershot's a hassle for me to get to.
-
Or should I go for the fully synthetic Amsoil 0W-30?
-
Castrol Magnatec 10W-40 I think they said they used, even £15 off wouldn't cover a 5l can of the stuff surely?! I'll be going for Amsoil 5W-30 I think, 5l at £39.95. Not that I'm paranoid or anything but they better actually put the stuff I provide in the car!!
-
Done
-
Hi H5, no I've got a Blade. I've booked it in though, along with a P2 service. I'll let you know how it goes. I've also told them I'm going to supply my own oil which they've offered £15 off the service cost.
-
Ok, points taken, I won't touch it!
It'll be my first visit to the dealer since I got the car, Dan Perkins in Slough is the closest, I hope they're good!
