One more sleep

Scarry,

Congrats on the new D4, enjoy !!

Regarding tires there seems to have been some positive feedback about the new General Grabber A/T which could be an option. Seem to be reasonably inexpensive as well compared to other options, at least in the 18 in sizes..

Not sure about sizing for 17 in rims but looks like they did a wide range in the old AT2 patter.

Check out some recent threads about Grabbers for more info if you have not done so already.

Just a thought.

George

Have you had your wheel alignment and suspension checked? I have 16,000km on my set of LT245/70R17 KM2s and they are only down 1mm from new.

Still can't believe they can't get it sorted.:mad:

One of my brother's has some Honda thingy,about 6yrs old & it reads within .1 of a l/100k to what you work out calculating from fuel used & distance travelled.

Its only a setting in the CCF that ex-factory has the consumption set to 7% optomistic! My 3.0 is now set at 4% pessimistic and about spot-on but can be a little high or low depending on how its driven.

OK,i am only a novice at this,but what is CCF,& how is it changed?
Surely the dealer could do this?

Sorry, CCF is Car Configuration File. It stores lots of information, some of it just as a record and other as parameters that are used by 1 or more ecus to configure how they operate, calculate etc. Dealer diagnotics can modify at least some of the information and products like Faultmate can change most.
