    How old is too old for tires?

    the pirelli p5000 drago's i had on the rear of the car lasted 40k miles at 13 years and still had good tread on them. had to change them because they became hard like plastic and back end was always sliding out on a FF car lol.

    Tire plugs, who uses them?

    Is there a way to remove and remount tyres at home without special tools? Balance will be a problem since you need special machines for that

    Tire plugs, who uses them?

    but tyre shops tell me its a temporary fix and to get it to a permanent fix they need to take the tyre off the rim and patch it from inside. Now are these tyre shops talking from experience or from loss of business?

    Tire plugs, who uses them?

    That rubber strip is very sticky accidentally rested the tool on the tyre and it sticks to it like some sort of polyurethane adheasive. Are these plugs permanent or just a temporary fix? It is winter in the uk outside temps are around 9c. Im in no rush to drive the car, its had 24 hours already...

    Tire plugs, who uses them?

    finally found out why the car was making a thumping ticking noise while driving. i thought it was the front wheel but driving with the kiddo in the car with his head out the window he pinpointed it to the rear wheel. first time plugging a tyre by myself. wont be paying shops to do it again...

    Toad Ai606 Alarm siren issue

    will need to open it up then i guess and give it a clean out. its not making the noise at the moment but then again its also stopped making the chirp sound when locking and unlocking the car. it must still be working because it does make the alarm sound when its triggered.

    Toad Ai606 Alarm siren issue

    its not that loud the buzzing noise strangely it has now stopped but it did stop last night but came back on today when i tried unlock the car. i guess next step would be to open up the siren and see if there is anything out of the ordinary going on inside it. maybe check for capacitor issues...

    Toad Ai606 Alarm siren issue

    Got an issue with the alarm system. when arming and disarming it no longer makes the chirp noise but when alarm is triggered via door entry etc the siren does make its usual alarm noise. Now the siren just keeps making this glitching noise as iv filmed it in this video: This noise started...

    One good looking serpentine belt

    Odd i just put a tiny bit of water on the belt and the noise is gone. Driven 5 miles and still not a squeek. Maybe i was hasty in ordering a new belt?
