Upgraded to the facelift 8 inch display, fairly easy to change with the correct tools. Looks superb, really happy with the results and love the look of the facelift screen with the Clubsport interior. Next the ambient lights in the upper door trim.

21 months and 11,800 miles into ownership, I have finally ditched the bridgestones for 4 PS4s today.
Was considering replacing just fronts, but on my way home from work on Tuesday my tyre pressure loss warning came on and I was quite pleased to see a nail in one of my rears- made the decision easy.
I've got 2 bridgestones with around 6mm tread, one has been repaired- any ideas as to going rate on Ebay?

I've just sold 4 - 2 with over 6mm and 2 with over 4.5mm for £90 on gumtree. I priced them cheap and still got a4sholes offering 40 quid 😂

I need guidance in how to post images, I know, yet another numpty! I’ve got an image hosting account (FLICKR) and can Paste a URL into a post so I’ve figured that much out but is this the correct method? Sure someone can click on the URL and access the image but I want the image to appear directly in the post. The problem is when I select the preview option I just see the URL, not the image. Is this normal? Do I have to select one of the multiple icons above the ‘post’ content window and paste the URL that way? I tried the search function as I know this topic has come up recently but there were so many hits I took the lazy option and asked directly.

Cheers

Thanks. Around £20 each sounds about right.

The PS4s are excellent, so far. The car feels quicker, more responsive.

Had our final run out today of our week off to Waddesdon Manor near Aylesbury to see how the super rich used to live, what a place. Steady 110 mile trip, great economy and comfort. 1100 miles in total covered on days out. One thing though that we really noticed was how many faffers there are these days on the roads, people doing 10 or even 20 mph less than the speed limit in perfect conditions, a couple of them doing around 30-40 joining a motorway..... There has been quite a bit of swearing in the Wattsmobile :rolleyes:
