Thanks for all the useful and interesting contributions, chaps. Brian – not sure what to say… I have had no noise issues, ride problems or anything else with the Landsails. One of the things people remark on in my car (there aren’t that many of them here, so most have never been in one) is how quietly and smoothly it cruises along.


My only problem is what I perceive to be excessive wear. How strange that our experiences are so different!

Sorry, brain fade – I was thinking of my TF. But if their gun only goes to 95, then my bolts should be too loose, not too tight… so God knows what they did
