    disco arch strip

    If your doors haven't been cut only cut the frame out and leave the skin where it is, once the frames cut to suit heat the skin around the bend and beat it round to meet the frame, that way there is no gaps, finish with a bit of seam sealer between the two and rivit together I'll stick a pic up...

    Optima yellowtop

    Well it does fit, the clamp needs to be fettled though.

    How are the plastic c pillar trims held on on a 5 door?

    Optima yellowtop

    Do the yellow tops fit in a disco 1 battery tray, or do I need to get the grinder out? Mine will be getting tubular wings at some point so the battery will have to move then but for the time being can I keep it secure in the standard position?

    How much paint?

    One for all of you that have hand painted your d1's, planning on repainting mine, how much paint did you use? I'll be painting it with a roller with 2k black, ideally I'd rather have some left over for touch ups in the future.

    Different sized tyres

    Replacement exhaust

    200tdi has no cat or egr unless it's an export model. Mine has no silencers and a short down swept pipe off the downpipe, it's not quiet but is bearable inside the car, mine has no sound deadening or carpets either, admittedly the tyres tend to drown out the exhaust though.

    Cv's

    Is there a cv joint available off the shelf that'll allow me to use 24 spline shafts and diff with 10 spline drive flanges?

    Newlife / marix tyres

    This is the inside of the buldged tyre. If this had happened whilst at speed I suspect you would be in court now. I would suggest you arrange collection of these tyres next week along with a refund of my money or I will be taking this further. This failure is unacceptable, your handling of...

    Newlife / marix tyres

    Their still saying this isn't a warrantee issue, I'd beg to differ, I was expecting to see this on the inside so it's not a major suprise.

    No mention of plys on them, don't worry I won't be letting this one lie, I will be chasing them!

    Newlife / marix tyres

    Think they are 6, I'll go and have a gander.

    Newlife / marix tyres

    Yeah lions, one of the other reasons I went for them was the sidewall lugs and they look more aggressive than the special track 2's

    Newlife / marix tyres

    Like I said mine aren't too bad but after less than 12 months I'm not impressed to say the least! The buldge appeared whilst at a pay and play, there was no damage to the outer of the tyre the scuffs occoured whilst getting to hard standing.

    Newlife / marix tyres

    Mine aren't too bad but in my eyes after less than 12 months there shouldn't be any perishing, I'll stick some pics up in a min, once I've removed the buldged tyre I'll check it I'm expecting to see damage on the inside of the sidewall.
