I use the Honeywell Howard Leight Noise Blocking Stereo earmuffs. They have built in speakers so you can plug in your iPod (or phone) and not need ear buds I.e. they are wired and not Bluetooth. Okay over sunglasses. Currently about £28

Many thanks Jonathan

Thank you. I saw that part however as it didn't look the same thought it best to ask. It is in stock too...

This is the speed sensor from my 2008 Sigma car. It has the number XS508B1NAL2 on it. I can't see anything like it on CC parts website. Can anyone help with part number (if different from above) and supplier? Thx in advance Martin

Maybe Nick Potter?

#3 JV. Is using an air box assembly S3 cars CC part number 30E179C the easiest way to do it? Plus hose etc and hole in bonnet.

Is the XL rating for the 14" size significant?

I had exactly the same last year. New battery was the answer.

According to my handbook it is 4.5 litre without heater and 5.1 litre with heater

Consider a dehumidifier in the garage- not cheap to run however I think it is worth it

Hi Brian On my S3 - I have between the chassis and lowered floor ( as CC supplied fitting details) 30P065A spacer Harness mounting plate S65L swivelling insert S156 spacer washer If any of the above are missing it may explain the difference you refer to Martin

Thank you David I am going to have a good look at the suggestions both in the thread and your comments Keep well Martin

Many thanks JK BW Martin

I am thinking of buying one to help with jobs both car and general DIY while having lots more time at home Is any Dremel model better than another? Corded or cordless? Kit or drill plus selected tools? Comments and advice appreciated and thank you in advance Martin

I have asked this before - as I understand it "When an XL tyre is run at the pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer, it will last longer. These tyres are considered to have greater grip and better traction. Because they are more rigid, they will corner better and maintain stability. They also transmit power from the engine to the road more quickly, which may be an important feature in performance cars. In addition, XL tyres can provide better resistance to the extra load from acceleration and braking, and the centrifugal force from cornering. On the other hand, these tyres are usually slightly noisier than standard load tyres." They do tend to be used on SUV's and performance cars - cars that are heavier and/or put significant loads on the tyre when driven hard. Judging by the mainly positive comments on here they seem ok on a 7
