| How about purchasing another 18" wheel off a certain auction site or even Gumtree and getting a standard tyre fitted. Then you will definitely be OK. Sometime you can pick up wheels fairly cheaply. I managed to buy for 16" wheels for my T30 including three very good tyres for £40. As I wa... |

| If anyone uses one what would they recommend in terms of readings to keep an eye on ? ie coolant temperature, engine load etc etc. There are so many options and some are more important than others but I just wondered which are THE important ones to monitor.

| I must be the only one never having seen the light come on - the bulb is ok as it comes on at start up check. Having said that I very rarely do short runs and even then the engine does get up to temp quickly and I reckon within around 5 miles so perhaps with mine being the facelift they did somethi... |

Mine lost it's memory and had to put the security code in. 2013 model.

| I am now watching this thread with growing interest, as I will probably need some of the tips when I am able to go out again. I am currently staying at home on the government's advice as I am over 70. Haven't used the car at all in the past 2 weeks. Doesn't matter if you haven't used it. Just make ... |
