I haven't had them done recently, but will need them done soon.

Is Tyrespot on Team Valley, I recognise the name but can't picture where they are (probably drive past them on my way to work every day without noticing!!!)

Ahh, I see the confusion

When I said "Got mine from Springfield in Jesmond last week."

I meant the car.

Tyres will be needed before winter sets in good and proper!!

Neil,

There are a few, there is one in Team Valley, Washington, Chester-le-street etc.

Was it the V-reg S2000 Silver they had?

No it was the X plate.

The V had a nasty dent and scratch on the door, and my girlfriend hated the red interior.

If it's tyres you're after, speak to me first! There's a guy I use in Darlington who has usually beaten comparative tyre costs by 30% - and he's great at loking after alloys when fitting 'em!!!!!!

Will do, thanks for the offer Mark.

I'm going to wait and see if I want to hang on to this car or exchange it, before I spend any cash on it.

Good Man,

That V reg seemed a bit too cheap without inspection, I thought maybe it had stellar mileage.

I did notice on both however (less on yours) the small blisters on the black plastic under the HID's, I think yours only had it on one light, not noticeable unless you're looking for it, about 6 mm across. My lights had them on both, so they replaced both under warranty. Do not worry, if you want to meet up some time so I can go over problem areas (S2000 related).

Mark, I need two rears, does he take VISA?

I've removed this post, as I don't want to bad mouth the dealer since they've done the right thing and offered me a full refund for my car.

S2000 no more

Adjusted mine yesterday - using my dustbin for guidance, parked about two feet away, I upped nearside by 15mm and offside by 10mm - MUCH better. I can drive along country lanes without having to switch to main beam.

And no-one has flashed me yet - bonus!

Not sure where the horizontal adjusters are - couldnt see them. Good job it was only vertical I needed.

Keith
