    Vibrations @ motorway speeds

  2. Best tyres for motorway miles

    The Mk4 diesel is wracking up the miles and as such could do with some new rubber. Any one have any suggestions as to which tyres to go for? Must have good grip and longevity, not really limited on price but must be good value for money. Have Firestone Firehawk on at the moment i think.

    Does anyone know what its like to drive a Seat Ibiza 1.8 20VT FR/ Cupra on the motorway for long journeys? Does it feel noisy/ rattly/ bumpy/ unrefined or is it comfortable relaxing? The reason I ask is because small cars tend to have that unrefined feel to them when travelling at higher...

  5. New tyre time - mostly motorway, but want some smiles... FK452s?

    Hi, My rear tyres are at the level where they need changing. This is on a standard Seat Leon Cupra, 16" wheels. I think that is 205/55/16. I've been reading here and the Falken FK452s seem to be recommended. I want something which isn't going to completely square off due to my...

  6. Short motorway journeys + cold engine = ?!??!

    I am picking up an 08 plate FR TDi next week and would like to hear what people think about motorway driving whilst the engine is cold. My commute to work is a very short hop to the motorway, a 5 minute blast down it, and a very short hop the other side to the car park. My current Golf barely...

    v5 170 motorway acceleration

    Does anyone else feel the engine slightly check or chop at 85+? On a separate issue, should I be concerned if the alternator warning light flashed on for a minute a few days ago and never since then?
