I'm currently thinking of selling my 911 996 hobby car and replacing it with a a big v8 that will be good for odd weekends away with the kids etc and keep me happy as a petrol head. The wife has a nice 4x4 but we don't need 2 so she can get something more frugal for day to day and I can still get a petrol fix when I'm not at work.

Running costs aren't really a big issue but should I look out for anything? There's a few nice 54 plates around for £10kish how much should I spend?...

Edited to say HI, very rude of me! I've had plenty beemers before, M3 last and lovely old 540Msport before that...

      But What size front are 225x?x? rear the same 255x?x? If wheels are 17" they should be 7.5J rims 18" 8.0J rims 19" should be 8.0J all round or if wider rears then 8j front and 9j rear The ONLY wheel set that has wider rear rims is 19" so if your car has 17" or 18" wheels the tyres are probably wrong just checking the width does not make them correct Dave

      Hi Cameron That sounds wrong for an X! to me unless the rear wheels are wider than the front If your wheels are 17" tyre size should be 225x50x17 94H front and rear 18" Wheels tyres should be 225x45x18 or if wider rims at the rear 255x40x18 at the back 19" rims tyres should be 225x40x19" front 255x35x19" rear As I have said check very carefully if the rear tyres are 255 but should be 225 then the distance they cover each rotation will be to much of a difference between front and rear and will cause damage Dave

      Hi many thanks, not knowing anything about cars, just checked and I have 255's on rear and 225's on front , is this correct.

      Hi Cameron From your description and the additional information it sounds like transmission wind up, probable cause is the rear tyres being new have a larger rolling radius than the front that is putting strain on the transfer case and also the diffs. I would check them carefully tyres are much cheaper than a new Diff or Transfer Case Dave
