Thanks tigger

will rest easy unless it gets much worse 

thanks again

Hi all 

got 2.5 awd x type love it .

twice now whilst driving have heard a strange noise I can't pin point is a whiring noise not metal on metal and disappears within 30 seconds .... Should I worry lol .

any help appreciated 

regards to all 

dave 

Looked at those as a possibility but don't seem to have them for x type 

so ruled it out but thanks for the heads up would have been a great and easy alternative.

Be aware that fm transmitters are just that and anybody tuned to that frequency within range can pickup what ever your transmitting ...lol

i do have one I use but was a Jabra had advanced frequency tracking and found best frequency available so didn't have to find another when travelling around the country have since converted to bury system and am really pleased with it 

can stream music and use it as dab radio too.

Thanks for the advice Andrew 

have gone down same route roof bars and Thule system

wasnt too costly and easy to put on and remove both bikes and bars when not needed 

now just require some better weather lol 

Hi tigger

got a couple of carbon mtb only usually do local rides or Rutland water.

already have a  towbar mounted system but don't want to add the weight of a towbar to car for just bikes 

will look at going down roof rack and Thule system see how that pans out and let you know .

thanks for the heads up.

Hi all 

don't want to fit a tow bar for carrying my bikes and won't use roof mounting so looking for info on bike carriers any body might use thinking saris 3 bike but any info would be gratefully accepted .

I agree but these are Chinese and not so sure about them but will see in coming months .

if they don't come up to standard will look at the nexen to replace and use larger size 

thanks for the input 

regards Dave 😊

Two x types you lucky sod lol 

hope it's an easy inexpensive fix 

Hi all newbie to x type 

having just acquired my car the tyres are Joyride 225/45/17 

never heard of them and finding the ride great but firm has anyone fitted 215/50/17 and do they soften the ride 

looking at nexen n6000 sports as 'joyride' just doesn't fill me with any faith if and when bad weather hits .

Have gone down in size as the fitted size seems to be rubbing the arch on full lock.

any assistance or direction greatly appreciated .

regards

Dave.😊

Thanks to you all looking forward to many years of happy driving lol😊
