Well I'm new,started to refurbish my alloys as water had got under the lacquer,also changed dipped and sidelight bulbs as one had blown,plus they were shocking. Plus I've just started wet sanding my headlights as the tops were starting to oxidise and alot of pitting. It's going to take a while but should make a difference. V70d5 07

Did 12 very quick laps in the rear seat of an extended Formula Ford car at SWB motorsports in Bicester.

Four Michelin 195 x 65x 15 Cross Climate +95V XLs fitted by Formula One Autocentre.

I'd always thought the Uniroyals were good on the V70 but these Michelins are in a different league. The ride is noticeably less harsh and significantly quieter @ a shade over £75 a corner quite a good result.

Had a reconditioned turbo fitted, turbine bearings worn to hell, loads of play and loud hissing noises on the old one, now much much quieter and pulls lovely again.
