Leave it on Primacy tyres, they're way more fun

Tis the alarm keypad.
If it's going off a lot, try inspecting the switch under the bonnet. The bracket is a tad flimsy and can get bent enough so the switch doesn't do switching things.
Also, I'm not 100% but will the alarm go off with low battery voltage too?
 
You have things in your glove box too, you absolute rebel. I don't use mine at all. I hate things slopping about and making noise.

Welcome.

Mtec clutch spring!
Thanks a lot @Mike@TD.co.uk, delivered in a day like he said! 

 
Install was fairly straightforward, although very very uncomfortable and tight due to the lack of space in the footwell and engine bay. 
Once the clutch pedal assembly is off, rest is easy. Getting it off was the pain for me.

 
First impressions on a short drive to Tesco, clutch is slightly firmer and removes the initial play/sponginess in the stock spring. Engagement and feel is improved drastically and can actually feel the bite point. Also, makes changing gears more enjoyable and faster as the clutch springs back up more.
Would recommend, simple and cheap mod.

Front Spring Rate: 171 in/lbs 

Rear Spring Rate: 234 in/lbs
here's a link to where I got them, @Lucas@PartBox. Very quick delivery.

I am super happy with the Whiteline ones I got. Main reasoning was for looks and the 25mm drop in my eyes is perfect, reduces the arch gap whilst remaining functional for a daily.
Ride wise it is actually more comfortable at town speeds but when you're at a decent speed you can feel it is firmer (due to progressive springs). In my opinion, I would say the ride is overall a good improvement except for if you're going 70 and theres a decent bump on the motorway you will feel it a lot more. I guess thats the sacrifice for stiffer springs.
Handling wise there has also been an improvement since you do actually feel lower and more planted, despite only a 1 inch drop.
Overall, highly recommend Whiteline or any others like Tein or H&R, just make sure you choose one with the drop and spring rate you want. Like you said, a grand on coilovers is not kind on the wallet! Saving up for a house is more important

How are you finding the springs?

I'd like to lower mine, but am about as interested in spending a grand on coilovers as I am in drinking bleach.
Paying off my mortgage is more important.

I guess I've been lucky, but I've never had a flat tyre in 20 years of driving so the fact my last 3 cars have had no spare hasn't been an issue.
 
You can get single, second hand wheels on eBay.

I use a puck with a groove in it on my trolley jack.
Bought it when I had my rcz, as the jacking points on those are made of cheese.
 
Irrespective of what jack you're using, I hope you're putting axle stands under it before you venture underneath.

Ah, mismatched tyres are a pet hate of mine.

Nexen are alright.

Mine was at 25k and 6 years when I changed the Primacies.

They had life left but had started to perish.

I didn't really notice any difference in MPG that I recall. It will have to re-learn fuel trims though, but that doesn't seem to take long really. I'd give it a bit longer. 

I think the plastic piece goes on the underside of the bonnet above the alarm switch.
 

If the discount code is for 100 % I'm in.

I guess I'm the only one happy with how quick their 86 is.
It's slower than my last two cars, but handles so much better.

Plus, it does skids.
