As I've mentioned elsewhere, we are looking for a long-term replacement for the green Xantia 1.9 sx estate. The recently acquired blue VSX is fairly high mileage (191k) and the body is a bit battered. Having sampled the 2.1s effortless power and given its reputed frugality, I'd be tempted by another, tidier one. Jim has suggested an XM.

If I fit new alloys can you fit the sensors to the new wheels?

Has anyone done this?

Does it matter if you go up a size, would sensors still work?

Last post

Shouldn't make any difference. Mine are set to alarm if the pressure drops more than10 PSI I think .
The new tyres wouldn't be more than 10 psi lower than the old ones? The pressure range might make the alarm go off if the sensors are pre-set for a pressure range and your new tyres are a lot different.

I know the front windows on a car can be legally tinted to 30%, but does anyone know what level the windows are tinted to from factory?

This is on a C8, but presume most will be the same.

Last post

A very convoluted question. It seems that % doesn't really apply, as no glass allows 100% light through as manufactured, so a percentage tint would have to take that into account.

The shrouds do go together without removing the wheel. There is a knack. There are two clips, one on each side, roughly above the stalks. You need to make sure the rubber guards (on the stalks) are inside the shrouds before you clip them together. Once done, you can tighten up the securing screws.

Last post

I recall when I had the shrouds off mine, they came off easy enough, but I had to bend the tag on steering column at the bottom of the lower shroud in order to get the shroud back over it, then bend it back up afterwards.
