Thats correct, those are the Goodyear nct's. Been looking on new tyres but not much to choose from.

I bought a set of tyres recently and opted for General Grabber 235/60/15 for the rear, and Continental Conti Premium Contact 2 195/60/14 for the front.

On taking a quick look there are some budget brands which sell matched or semi matched sets:
Nankang (matched set, but different speed rating):

Kenda (semi matched set, with OEM speed rating):

I'm considering trying out Nankang, good price and not planing on street race my D so think they would do the job just fine.

Thanks A van

Nice choice Mike. I personally don't see the need to go for a matching set unless you want the same white lettering on sidewalls front and rear. I'd rather just go for the best tyres available. Those Contis weren't around when I got my fronts so I've got some Bridgestone ER300 Turanza's on mine (and Grabbers on the back).

Did some small detailing before work today. Tested out Autoglym's Bumper and trim gel, very pleased with the result.

Nice result, I really like it
Thanks for the link of the tires, as it becomes more and more complicated to fins the right size!

Now I need some help. Went out today to take the car out for some pictures. But I couldn't get it in any gear.
I checked the clutch reservoir and it was empty...



But no visible leaks under the car. Where have the fluid gone?

If you read the thread, you know I'm a newbie.
When I picked up the car earlier this week I had to double clutch, but it felt ok the other day when I pulled it out to wash it.

Is this a well known problem? What to do?

Maybe you got enough till the master cylinder, but do refill and bleed the lines with assistance. Then check if the level drops after. A while.
