Have you sorted out what is wrong with it Rob?
Welcome to OOF
QuoteThe way i look at tyres is if your life is cheap by cheap tyres
This. All day long.
With tyres, always buy the best that you can afford. If you can't afford tyres of an appropriate standard for your car, you can't afford the car. I cannot emphasise this enough, and I am deadly serious.
- I've seen the consequences of having the wrong tyres on a car. Be they dodgy part-worns, remoulds, mismatched tread patterns etc. etc. - they're called "ditchfinders" for a reason.
If the lives of yourself, your passengers and other road users are worthless, fit part-worns. Otherwise, choose carefully. Tyres are the most important suspension and drivetrain component of your car - it's no good having a 3.2-litre Omega on Wanling Crashmasters.

That is a nice looking garage, I helped my friend build a double garage last summer, it's not quite as nice as yours but we were limited by space. Also we've not gotten around to the finishing touches.
I still haven't quite finished mine either.. which is why the walls are still a nice shade of pink (very red plywood with slightly off white emulsion = pink walls, apparently!)
Need to float the floor level and lay some flooring down, put up some shelves and so on and install the sink & water heater.. then it'll be done
'course the backside fell out of the stock market so now it might be a while before I can afford to build the project I built the garage for!
because they are c@@p!
If Kia can offer this.......Why not Ford?.. :-/ :-/
if shes buying new and is happy with the price then you cant go wrong,just make sure she has driven one before signing on the dotted line.also is the dealer local to her?
The Delphi ones I have seen had incredibly soft bushes. So soft it was possible to press I finger into the rubber itself. There was a spate of complaints and failures on here about a year or more ago and one member reported a recall from Delphi.
Leaver the wishbone out from the subframe. It should be very firm and with a torch there should bo ne cracks or splits visible in the narrow gap visible to the rubber itself. If it flaps about easily bin it. Rearward bush is purely a visual thing to see if it split away around the edges.
