Get the releasing oil on the water pump bolts asap, fingers crossed they come out without shearing.

Interested in seeing some before and after shots regarding the wheel spacers ,am wondering if it would need wider arches ? 30mm spacers and 265/75/16 Tyres .

ive got 315s on mine and they only poked out the arches 2". the wider arches cover them perfect.

Yeah when i first bought my 90 it already had 30mm wheel spacers fitted so when we got round to fitting the 16" modulars with 265 special track tyres the tyres stuck out a little bit and was told it was ilegal so i removed the spacers and sold them then found out after it was just an advisory on the M.O.T. so have decided to buy some more as i think it looks better with them on

will show pic's once i have fitted them, got other more urgent jobs to do on it first before i fit them
