Wow, that's good to hear!!! I heard they were ok in winter but nice to hear it from someone who has a real winter..... ;)

As I keep saying, I think we are going down the wrong route trying to mod the VCU, which isn't really the problem anyway- it's the IRD ratios. Try to find a way to make it 1:1 front:rear and then the VCU won't be a problem so much and even tyres won't cause such an issue. It will be like an old...

Yeah I know, but I'm talking about general clearance all round. I guess it should be same as you had with normal wheels and spacers?

:boink:

Not just a tyre, but an M&S tyre.....

maybe the stat you used was faulty from new..?

I have used the Osrams and the Phillips are better IMO on H7s, but not sure on H4s. I've used the Halfords sooperdooper bulbs and they are bloody good too- got a set on my VW T5 van in H4 and one on my bike. I have the phillips in H7 in my Freelanderer and the Osram Rallye 65ws on my main beams...

Gave up and burned it...

What we need is a metal worker to fabricate some kind of repro of the centre cap fitting on standard steel wheels to fit on aftermarket modulars. It would be ideal if he had a set of modulars to work from, and as there are more of us buying modulars..... ;) T'was easy on my Paj as the...

Bring back hard labour and turn the Isle of Wight into a penal colony. Bugger all else use for it... and with the price of the ferry, no bugger will be able to escape!

Oi, I thought of it first when you still had allys and spacers!!! :D Shame you can't try one of the wheels on an unlifted Freelander front and rear.... ;)

Air block around thermostat or wrong stat? or.... maybe the water pump is knurdled. On a lot of modern cars the vanes are plastic and shear off. What was wrong with metal ones for feck's sake.... But then this would cause overheating so fekked if I know..

As do I..... :cool: But I still have a few cans of standard R134a from back in the day. Waaaay back in the day......:o

To get them off in the first place, secure car on a lift or stands. Plop a wheel nut on the top stud loosely. Get underneath and bang the bottom sidewall with a gert big hammer. I used a sawn off sledge hammer I have with a light tap but with the weight behind it. Wheel came off first tap. If...

Glad to see the Cooper ATs on that list, despite not being a true winter compound. Maybe they are an all season compound? Better than straight summer tyres. The rubber might not be the best compound as real winter tyres, but the tread pattern and design (siping) help a lot I'd guess.

Might be cheaper than a Ronbox, but not as fast- the Ronbox totally transforms the car to make it actually drivable and responsive to throttle inputs. Worth EVERY penny...

225/75s or 235/70s, either way, they'll be on modulars as I have 15" allys on and they'll be the same tyres as you- AT3 Coopers.

True, so back to the drawing board!

Guess we need more pics then!
