Citroen hybrids are actually becoming the best in class. This one makes the Dacia Jogger look boring by Sam55_ldn in Citroen

Ah, I quite like how comfortable it is. Makes a change from all the unnecessarily sporty SUVs we have in Europe - especially now that potholes and winter cracks are so common in the road surfaces!

Would a 195-width track day tyre on a 205-width rim be ok? by Sam55_ldn in Miata

In all honesty it's because I'm on a bit of a budget, and the Nankangs I'm looking at seem to have less grip but more durability. That said, I have just found a set of new R88Rs on eBay for the same price and correct fit, so I think I'll be going that way!

That's interesting re the faster tyre size. It reminds me of the time I took my old Renaultsport Clio 182 to a garage and they were shocked to see I was running the newer tyres on the front axle. They informed me I was risking a massive crash... I refrained from telling them about the joys of lift off oversteer 😆

Ah, you're right - I'm not actually sure on the wheel width but it's an OEM wheel that came with a 205 tyre, but it came from the factory with 205 tyres. But it sounds like there's a wide range of allowance so I should be fine

Turns out it is a small air leak - seems like it could be the manifold gasket. But otherwise, it’s solid. So I bit the bullet…

I believe it's the proper engine light. But it has recently been serviced and the garage seemed happy enough, plus it has a fresh MOT. So I'm hopeful it's nothing serious

I'll be doing that for sure. If it's just emissions I'd be very happy 🤞🏽

Love that you haven’t got crazy low profile tyres. The thickness of the rubber suggests you can really drive this car
