Post: RE: Tyre tread depth when new

Interesting link, thanks. I note the 2nd reviewer tells of the centre tread wearing before the outer - which to me is indicative of "user error" with tyre pressures as a first thought. You are right a...

Post: RE: Tyre tread depth when new

It occurred to me today that if the depth of new tread was 8mm, my car has done 109,000km but 75,000km on these Fulda tyres and the depth left is 5mm - I've "used up" 3mm in 75,000km. As the legal all...

I asked because I had no idea there is standard depth. I'm sure Fulda wouldn't be an exception then. Now I know. Thanks.

My K9 1.2 petrol came with summer tyres and due to country regulations I swapped to all weather tyres. I've been running Fulda MultiControl 205/60 R16 96V XL and I'm happy with them but they are getti...

Mine will go off for a few days now and again because it depends on a number of factors such as outside temperature, aircon, battery state etc. In the handbook (page 105 in mine) it details lots of ti...

I like a simple life so I stay away from doing anything much with the car battery other than basic stuff. If you wanted a powerstation you could run a coffee machine, either 12V, maybe 24V but also a...

Post: RE: My three way Berlingo solution.

There is no need for anything between the car socket and power station/fridge because the car socket is only live when the ignition is on. I can't see how then anything connected to the car socket wou...

Here was the problem - We started a family late and ended up with three kids. We used to have a ‘normal’ car and as kids do, they started to get bigger. We have relatives in Spain and most years we’d ...

Find a Berlingo in a car park and slip underneath it. I'm sure nobody will think you're nicking something.

I believe they don't just sit in the wheel well and are clipped to the underside. I have a K9 and don't have them but I'll stand corrected on this that they are to rest on the tyre when you lift it up...
