Spent a bit of time cleaning the car this morning. When cleaning the wheels all the balancing weights (all four corners) have gone, all that was left is the sticky residue from the stick on’s. Now I accept that the car does sit in the sun, but would simple sun heat be enough to pop them off...

Wait until they get to the bit about approaching damp dark tunnels without lights.

Was that the Thursday night ‘Bike’ night? BTW- you should have gone in to Portland and up to the Heights / Olympic rings and done this 🤣

Seen at the local Oil’y Rag meeting last Sunday.

That’s rotten. Will it get to the point that your reject the car?

Have I missed a story of woe and upset? Link?

Gordon Ramsey?

It’s time to sell my GR86. The car has just had its second service (£550 1st May)) the engine oil, diff oil and brake fluid change. Currently showing 6900 miles. Tyres have been swapped front <-> rear, rears have 6mm, fronts 5mm. The car has the colour matched rear spoiler (£500 extra)...

Something with the 4 pot turbo engine, Celica maybe?

Since its warranty, go OEM first. If once the problem is fixed you want to change, change. You run a risk that going non OEM, the dealership can then back away from any further issues.

Nonissue at all with unplugging 👍

And diff oil as well. My 2nd year service, oil, brake fluid, diff. Reported tires as 4.5mm rear, 6mm front. Had to pay Kwik Fit £35 to swap them. Sadly mine has a minor oil leak, so back in a week Friday to sort that out. Health check video->...

You might find a car (like yours) that’s been under appreciated, under used, and just needs to be loved, and treated to a spank every now and then 🤣

I thought you could rotate tires and simple reset TPMS. If I rotate backs 4.5mm with fronts 6.3mm will the display just end up showing TPMS reversed (rears at top, front at bottom)?

Abbotsbury to Bridport coastal road, now patrolled by police speeding drones 😢

Spent 8 hours cleaning (near microscopically) and coating the car, wheels to be done another day 🤣 Due its 2nd year service on Thursday at a tad under 7k miles. After that, I’m a bit on the edge of selling due to lack of use, police eyes on Dorsets roads, 28 mpg average, silly insurance costs...

Might those rips be bird damage, live anywhere where sea gulls frequent the neighbourhood ?

My IWC crono that I bought in 2021 went pop. It started 4 years ago when I went for a sea swim and the winder seal was open. Paid the £600 for the service and all was good for 6 months. Since then every 9 months the auto stopped working, it kept time, but only via winding every 48 hours. So 4...

Max Nm’s is at 3700k rpm, which is bang in the middle of the range you’ve mentioned.
