    As above really These tyres are dated week 40 year 21 for manufacture so are 2 years approx old. I had them removed so i could refurbish my wheels and have the road tyres put back on. They have the following amount of tread left. Front right between 4.1 to 4.4mm Front left between 4.3 to 4.4mm Rear right between 3.8 to 4.2mm Rear left between 3.7 to 4.0mm. Pick up only from South Birmingham or im willing to meet half way if you are in the Midlands for the petrol money. £100 for quick sale as in getting grief about them being in the conservatory lol. I will leave on MLOC for a few days before advertising elsewhere. Message me if you are interested please.

  3. Hi, i forgot to ask is it Left Hand Drive? I have answered you message.
  4. Rich if the sensor does not fix it try the following. Take it for a spirited drive. Let it cool down for about 2 hours. Slowly remove coolant cap. Is there a lot of hissing and or water rushing back into the coolant bottle? If there is it may well be a blow across the fire ring causing excess pressure in the system. The temp dodging about is the coolant cap releasing the excess pressure and then resealing. If there is only a slight hiss after 2 hours or so all should be well. I drove mine home from a LeMans trackday with the same symptoms after trying 2 or 3 different caps? Try changing the cap as well. Mine had an indent on the hot side of the head by the exhaust valves. lets hope its something more simple.

    2 x front S2 steering arms. They have had 4mm machined off to allow you to run a lot more front camber. Essentially they do the same as the EP lightened steering arms. £30 plus P and P or you can pick them up. I will leave on here for a few days before advertising elsewhere.

  13. Stunning job refurbishing my alloys at a reasonable price. A pic tells a thousand words.
  14. Normal Clarkson trying to be controversial. Drumming up interest for the new series of Top gear? However a fair bit he says about Chapman is correct. He was a genius. he also turned this into tax avoidance. He should maybe have worked for Google? Clarkson should stick to just reviewing cars. However this is the last thing Top Gear is actually about.
  15. I didnt say i would do it Bill. A 1.9K is the way forward if you like getting your hands dirty
