Tyre Advice, Please. by
Ross
Hi All
I'm due 2 new tyres on the front of my 147 1.6 soon and would appreciate
some advice.
It's currently fitted with Goodyear Eagle NCT5's which give great grip and
feel but I'd like some more life (16K miles and down to 2mm) and they are a

I'm tempted to stick...

Steve Hill
Hi
Me and my 146 live in France and for some reason the size of tyre we require
195 x 15 x 55 is double the cost of a similar tyre with a profile of 50 or
60.
Would anyone know any reasons why I shouldn't fit a different profile tyre.
Which axle it they would be best on (only require 2 tyres for...

torretta
It happens to the best of us, I ran out of gas. But after a bit of a walk I
put in some fuel, to find the Fuel Injector light remains on and the car
will not run well. With the right amount of thotlle I can get a good smooth
1000RPM, but any more throttle and the car revs between 2500 and 1500....

fmt
Just bought a 2001 Y reg 2.0 156 that some boy racer has put a
well-stupid gear knob in.
How do I go about removing this, and replacing it with either a

Trawled through this site and the replacing options range from "just

New or Second hand 156? by
Pyro
I'm in the process of looking for a replacement for a very high milage
VW Scirocco, and finding that there are so few cars around with any
semblance of style (and that I can afford), that the 156 and the Jag
X-type, have come up as the only options. One of the most important
criteria is fuel...

Just been to look at the second hand December 2002 156 JTS that I've bought
