WoREoD Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Yeah, just been out and had a look and my (ex-)tyre dealer fitted EZs, which have a different tread pattern. Although Bridgestone assured me these are ok, I'll be glad when I've worn them out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickJ Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 Yep, XZ on the fronts and KZ on the rears, going to give 'em a bit of time to bed in so to speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickJ Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 Finally got pi**ed off with the ride of this car, have bedded the tyres in and still it don't handle as well as my previous Zed, (see my 1st post) I know our local roads are bad but the crashing and banging from the backend is driving (excuse pun) me mad also the traction control has been kicking in without trying, bearing in mind this car had had a P2 service before I picked it up everything should be fine! So just got underneath it to find that the nearside rear shock is bu**ered smothered in oil and has been for sometime looking at the amount of crap stuck to it...... Have been on phone to Dealer and chewed his ear off, awaiting a reply, at the end of the day it's covered under the warranty, but at least I now know what it is!

Digsy Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 at the end of the day it's covered under the warranty Is it? I'm never sure whether shocks come under "consumables", although I agree that it shouldn't have failed so soon in its life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
