So basically you're going to ignore all (well, the vast majority) of the advice here and go with your gut? Well, I'm really glad we all bothered taking time to give you the benefit of our experience. You've got vastly different compounds on the rear to the front, and as such totally different grip levels, and you're wondering why the car is doing weird things? I genuinely hope it is just a wheel speed sensor, but even if it is you've still got a mis-balanced car once it's replaced.

I had no idea you were such a chav, Sarnie Tbh I've only ever been to Nando's on that list, and then only the once. I've only heard of a couple of the others too.

If you're smooth with your inputs you won't notice much difference with mixed tyres until you need them in an emergency.

Yes it should. You've created an imbalance between the two ends of the car and the TCS has no idea what's going on, hence you're getting odd symptoms. In the meantime, just be more gentle on the throttle as that'll be a big reason why everything's getting confuzzled so quickly.

First time I've seen the car in any other colour than white, and it's not good. I'm not even sure a deeper, more vivid yellow would work. Still, at least he's bought her something different rather than the generic Ferrari or Caddy.

Dominos is for chavs. Real pizza aficionados go to Pizza Hut for either sit-in or take out.

No-one with taste buds goes there anyway

The font used for the email address and phone number is utterly unreadable at that size. I don't think I'd change the size as it works quite nicely on the page, but definitely ditch the font for something readable.

Why on earth parents can't control their kids or take them outside when they're playing up is beyond me.

Bigger the better really, whatever size fits under the seats comfortably would be what I would buy. That way they're out of sight and not taking up room anywhere else in the car.

Leave a couple of silica gel bags in the car somewhere, that'll help loads. Also make sure that you've got the AC on and it's not set to circulate when you're out in the car, that'll remove a lot of the condense that forms whilst you're driving.

DA or Orbital polishers are as safe as houses, as you simply cannot get the paint hot enough to do any damage with. That said, you then can't get out the deepest of scratches with them either but if they're that bad you're probably going to use specialist help anyway. The Meguiars one as demonstrated by the guys themselves seems to be a bit of a bargain, and is probably where I'd drop my money right now.

That said, there's nothing like having a play with a like-minded enthusiast you happen to stumble across when out and about. I had a huge amount of fun the other weekend in Milton Keynes (not a phrase you hear very often) with a current gen Jag XKR who was giving it full beans whenever possible. The sound of both his car and mine being used to the full = All done at legal speeds mind, thanks to the four million roundabouts and dual carriageways in MK.

The RS division never touched the Puma, the FRP was created by the Rally team in Boreham Well done for not biting, it's just not worth it.

Great news matey, many congrats

DO WANT

Nothing wrong with having a square setup with your wheels, but you MUST keep the stagger between front and rear else you'll end up with a horribly oversteery car that's going to try and kill you at every attempt. Keep it a minimum of 20mm like stock is (i.e. 225/45/18 and 245/45/18), or increase the rear size if you want more grip at the rear.

I'm still hoping for "Two Girls, One Cup And A Duke!"

Ignoring for the minute that Clarkson is a very good journo who knows which buttons to push for maximum exposure, he's probably correct on this one. Thinking it through: Stiffer springs and shocks affect the ride quality for the worse Lowering the car means more scrapes on the front bumper Larger wheels add weight at the worst place and give a crashy ride Better brakes are more likely to squeal and are not so good from cold Exhaust and air filter are going to make the car noisier Better stereo MAKES YOUR EARS BLEED WITH BASS ...and so on. Technically from a generic POV 99% of mods make a car 'worse' as a daily driver, and it's only because we're enthusiasts who do it with a specific end goal in mind that we can put up with the compromises: To us, a bone stock car is the compromise, hence the need to modify.

Given that the notoriously-strict Aussies have passed this as a 15 with no cuts at all, I'm not expecting this to be either a decent game nor shocking in the slightest.

Very much doubt that, it makes the BBC a fortune in worldwide screening rights. I actually caught the second half of TG tonight, much to my better judgement. It's still sh*te

Tbh I think it would be too, and if I still had the Zed I dare say I'd have switched too and taken the chance.
