Yes, when I got my van it had old tyres of a not so known make so I changed them. Also I bought some second hand Japanese rims with good brand tyres which initially seemed OK but had definitely gone hard with age and were hopeless in the wet. In both cases I was worried about a blow out at long high motorway speeds, especially in the summertime and decided just not worth the risk.A lot of these wagons come over with the original 15 year old rubber, they really ought to be changed before sale.
@Ste what brand are those rims?? they look the business
Must get me some of that! My lights are seriously yellow!7.30 this morning with coffee in hand... polished the headlights with this
Took a whopping 10 minutes and got these results - only planned on trying a bit to see what it would do... and then set some time aside later in the day to do properly - but realised how quick it was and kept going it could probably do with another go... but not bad for first bash.Turtle Wax Headlight Cleaner & Sealant 300ML | Halfords UK

Was driving last night down dark country lanes - it was like driving by candlelight. Which reminded me to get on and do it... I think they’re a lot clearer but one quick go probably isn’t enough. I wreckon I only used a few squirts of this magical stuff...Must get me some of that! My lights are seriously yellow!
Nae...
Did you have to pony up for the fuel costs as well
I've done it myself, assumed what the mechanic says has actually happened. Not always the case.Spoke to the dealer today and he isn't happy with his mechanic it seems. Has asked me for a formal email with photos etc. He paid for the bushes to be done and was under the assumption the 2 oldest tyres were replaced as well. Feel a bit stupid for not even checking myself but I guess when you get told the mechanic has been their go to guy for years you just assume it's above board.
To keep it on topic the new back speakers arrived. So keen to get rid of the blown old ones.
Only 1 extra horse power for that mod
I tried so many things to top the oil up...when we first go it at 1 point we had a daisy chain of 3 or 4 funnels! Now use a length of hose and 1 funnel lol!7) Useful to have an offset funnel to put in the new engine oil.
