6 SPOKE WHEELS FOR SALE

I have a set of 6 spoke alloy wheels for sale. They were part of a grand plan I have had for 2 years but have now had to admit that I no longer have the time to finish them off correctly. They have been recently sand blasted ready for painting. I have an idea of what I think they are worth but am ha...

Re: TF Tyres

Had a new set of Toyo T1 Rs 205/50/15 fitted to the back end this week at Halfords. Total cost £138, great deal and cheapest i could find anywhere.

Re: Light not working to illuminate heater dials...

Easy enough job if you have somewhere out of the rain with decent light. Centre console off, heater control box off and then a couple of screws. I changed the lights in my dash to blue LED a while ago and it was a simple enough job. Don't need anything other than basic tools as far as i remember and...

Re: Front wishbone

Changed both front wishbones on her indoors car last year and although it took a while it was an easy enough job once i had read through a couple of posts on here. I gave all bolts a squirt of penetrating fluid and went for the first brew of the day. Managed to do the whole job without 1 sheared bol...

Re: handling advice please

I have Toyo proxys front and rear and the handling has been great. May be worth looking at renewing the complete set of bushes if tyres do not improve the handling.

Re: Front Subframe removal.

How did you get on? I had to drop the front subframe last year to renew the wishbones and found it a simple enough job that went better than expected. I take it you have a new subframe to the same spec or are you changing the hydrogas for the newer system. You wouldn't happen to be a motto wearer wo...

Re: wanted...........radio

I have the original radio cassette in the garage. How much are you offering and where in the midlands are you. Before you ask, i have no idea how much such a thing is worth now. I am near Reading.

Re: 1997 MGF VVC Breaking or complete car

Yes thats the card, but on her indoors car which is a 2001 it is just a thin piece of flimsy plactic no thicker than a few sheets of paper. When i changed the lights to LEDs i stripped the control panel down and the card was seperate from the plastic backing it was attached to, It may not be the sam...

Re: 1997 MGF VVC Breaking or complete car

Do you still have the heater control colour card, the one that sits behind the 3 knobs and shows the fan speeds, the temp and the blower direction? I need one if it is still available please.
