32 psi as per the book, but their a mixture of Chinese budgets which I intend to change when I get the wheels refurbed

I had UNIROYAL RainSport 5s fitted all round my 75 a few weeks ago and I'm very impressed with them. I've no experience of the RS3 to compare against but there's certainly plenty of grip!

Theres 3 different tyres on at the moment just looking for a suitable mid range replacement tyre car does 3k a yr. But as they will probably be xl rated so will try a lower pressure.

But most of the ride issues were road related the M54 is concrete and that travels up into the car, tarmac was ok but heavily potholed and patched roads you felt it.

This is compared to the tourer on 16" unions.

I really like the Avon ZZ5. Get them fitted for around £103 for a 225/45/18. Grip very well wet and dry. Wear rate may be a little high but then again I like to make use of them.

Unclipped my A-pillar trims and spray-glued down the fabric (it had been peeling quite badly). Not perfect by any means, but a step forward. I think I needed to be braver with the glue quantity! For my next trick, I will see about doing similar with the door card fabric.

Well following yesterday’s flat battery.. the ZT refused to start at work this evening, looks like the underbonnet pump has expired.

Off back to work now to swap it over.

Well, another pump fitted and all is well, wonder if we can replace the underbonnet pumps wit a facet silver top or similar?

I seem to remember putting in the first one of two we tried on Deb's ZT before we realised she had just run out of diesel, not that i would bring that up again
