Can I have your thoughts on mixing tyre treads. I currently have BFG A/T 235/85/16 all round but my front 2 are down to 4-5mm and what with winter on its way i'm thinking about replacing them with 2 new BFG trac edge tires also 235/85/16. Is this ok? As long as there on the same axle...

Yielding a blow torch at the radiator worked! Managed to crack the adaptors off, cleaned them up then fitted into the new rad! Jobs a kipper! Out of interest, does anyone no the thread sizes on both the oil hoses and rad?

I have phoned the company up in question today who also said that I would need to swap them over, so I going out in a minute armed with a blow torch to see if that will work! :doh: It would help if I knew what sizes they are on both the oil hoses and the radiator. Does anyone know? I picked a...

Just bought a new rad and fitted it tonight, all went well until I tried to fit the oil inlet/outlet pipes onto the new rad. They don't fit! :mad: I have seen a post in the disco section about removing the adapters from your old rad to re-use them in the new one, but they won't budge and they...

Just put my new rad in my 200Tdi tonight connected everything up then got to the oil inlet/outlet connectors only to stumble on this very same problem! :mad: I've just ran out side to undo the adapters off my old rad but they won't budge. :doh: Any other suggestions as this is my only &...

Just done some more browsing on the site and found in the off roading section that its a Pay & Play site along with it a name & number! Wooohooo!

Yep! Sold the Golf GT TDi for a 90 200tdi 2 weeks ago! I love it but the Mrs wasn't to impressed, :eek: however it is growing on her... Slowly....:D

I was out walking the dogs up by flash lane last weekend when I happened to be walking on a green lane. So using the power of google I thought i'd see where the other end would bring me out. Anyway the lane is a farm lane called 'back lane' off sydnope hill B5057 and just off it to the left...

I think you could be onto something here! Recon I might give that a go...!

Super! Does the same apply to finding out where the best off road tracks would be around my location as it would be pointless having a tool and not playing with it..!:)

Hi everyone, Happy new year! The Mrs and I have been helping out a charity for dogs, mainly bull terriers. We have 2 of our own and have now started fostering 1 at a time until they find a new home so cut to the chase. Our current car (golf mk4 gt tdi) just isn't really big enough in the...
