Accumulate water to aid the rusting process.What's the point in the foam blocks where the wing/a pillar/scuttle meet? Do they actually do anything?

Magnacore of very good.As part of the service do I replace the HT leads with Red, Bosch, Lucas or Magnacore?
Also very expensiveMagnacore of very good.
indeed, Bosch make a good 2nd bestAlso very expensive
I think so long as you don't get some cheap Chinese knockoff , they are all of a muchness.. with an expensive label.. or notindeed, Bosch make a good 2nd best
Noise, vibration, harshness.

Basically making it quieter and smoother.
Call me paranoid but after loosing one engine like to keep on top of thingsEvery 4 months? You must have money to burn Every 6K miles or 12 months is more than enough.
I think it's a problem with the large 4x4 tyres tbh.. so much air in them and when it's cold overnight, the heavier air molecules separate to the bottom, causing the flat spot
if its not heavier molecules sinking to the bottom, why else is the flat spot only ever at the bottom????????The heavier molecules may settle to the bottom but it won't affect the pressure or volume noticeably in the tyre as it is the number of molecules not the weight of the molecules that will mainly affect the pressure. It is the temperature drop that leaves less energetic molecules that leads to a drop in pressure and or volume. The difference in density could unbalance the tyre slightly until it is mixed up again although you'd think the effect would be marginal, especially after a couple of tyre revolutions. All this business with using nitrogen gas as air is too impure and inconsistent is unlikely to make any difference unless you're in Formula 1.

now you're being far too sensibleBecause the weight of the car is on top of it when the volume / pressure decreases and the ground isn't as soft as the air around the rest of the tyre.

What about your flat tyre?Think I'm gonna treat the landy and replace the power steering fluid.. not a full flush but drain and refill the reservoir
just turn it round so the flat bit is at the topWhat about your flat tyre?
It can spend some time with my flat capWhat about your flat tyre?
I had those 32”ers on 16” rims for many many years. Never had this issueI think it's a problem with the large 4x4 tyres tbh.. so much air in them and when it's cold overnight, the heavier air molecules separate to the bottom, causing the flat spot
