Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S vs Continental SportContact 7

I know that Michelin PS4S seems to be the preferred tyre choice here but having looked at the much newer Conti SP7 reviews online, it seems the Conti's are superior at this moment in time until at least the Michelin PS5S (not the already released PS5) are released in the future. Does anyone have any...

Re: Apple CarPlay Upgrade

Interim update and a few initial observations: I fitted it yesterday on a Sunday night in the dark with a head-torch and a normal torch - wouldn't recommend this, you obviously need decent light when doing something like this but it was the only available opportunity and I couldn't wait any longer.....

Re: TYRE RECOMMENDATIONS

PS4s and wait for a blackcircle offer is my two cents. Anyone whom says they can get you a wicked discount on PS4s are generally liars [emoji23]

Re: Build Spec

Thanks for the response. I have the brochure already downloaded so just need to try and see if the seller will share the vin. I presume it’s no longer possible to get VIN numbers from the reg? I don't think so no, whilst on my search this wasn't viable. You need to find somebody that is prepared to...

Re: Build Spec

If you download the original brochures (which are a on this forum) it lists all option codes. You'll need the VIN to check digitally and sellers are obviously reluctant to provide this. There are folks on here that will run a check for you once armed with the VIN though. Sent from my Pixel 5 using T...

Re: Ghost or Pandora

I've been looking into this as well and although Ghost has a good rep, don't you think that.pressing buttons to mobilise every time is going to become a PITA? Especially if others also drive the car? I've heard good things about Meta systems that use a tag/fob instead and also offer remote deadlock ...

Re: Insurance Company Recommendation

I have been with NFU for the last couple of years. Very good cover, no charges for mid term changes and no interest for monthly payment. You have to call your local branch as they are not on any comparison sites. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk Thank you, sounds good to me. Will give them a sho...

Re: Insurance Company Recommendation

I seem to recall that AIB insurance were either forum sponsors or supporters in some way in the past. https://www.aib-insurance.co.uk/products/car-insurance/performance-car-insurance I can't personally recommend them yet but was going to give them a chance to quote when my renewal comes up in a cou...

Re: Insurance Company Recommendation

Chris Knott or Pace Ward have been really good for me. I must say I've had a shoddy experience with both. Both basically want to gain an understanding of quotes you may have gained from online comparison sites before they quote effectively and spin something around this. They quote higher prices an...

Insurance Company Recommendation

Hi All, I'm a proud new owner of a 2014 B8. Does anybody have a recommendation for a particular insurance company? More from the perspective of identifying a quality product, policy, level of cover etc vs the usual cheap companies on insurance aggregator sites. Which companies have you found to offe...
