    There must be a cheaper way

    There must be a cheaper way

    Thanks will have a look at cleaveland street, I spoke to the guy I know in work he said, he could boar out the hole in the middle on monday if needs be. Just a pain that sucha simple job has taken me two weeks, so far, and i dont belive how much they charge for a wheel that small.

    Tyers advice

    I have been thinking about this and was thinking i might be better off replacing my steel wheels with new ones as they are getting on, and the rac man said he thought the rim might be so bad on the spare that it was no longer keeping pressure. So can any one tell me what size these are...

    Quick Alternator question

    2.5 NA I had put a scre driver up in to the fan bit and had it on the floor, to stop the fan bit spinning round, which stopped the rotating, but maybe that was not stopping the correct bit. Maybe it was just turning the hole spindle in side that.
