Given the rust these that develops on these under the air bladders, I'd suggest its better to buy knew tbh. They don't last long.

I have a pair in the garage but wouldn't sell them on for that reason.

They need something. :y But I'm wary of anything sticky that attracts a build up of dust and sand etc.

But I guess silicon is probably the best option.

Substantial saving on trade club, if you can get acces? Might be worth abs membership at that price?

Can't see saloon ones listed though  :-\. That said, the Tradeclub website is run by thick morons, without an ounce of IT knowledge amongst them - their certificate expired 3 weeks ago, and still not replaced it ;D

If you get a tc card from abs, via the link in FAQ(?) it will cost you £25iirc and you'll have access to tc for everything for ever.

Although not everything is cheapest in tc. :(

Pity it wasnt last week as had lunch in the Pilot on Wednesday with family as off all week. :)

I will ring W.J.Kings later today and post up the price later. :y

Just thinking you could try Caffyns on the retail park in Ashford as I have used them several times and so has Lizzie Zoom ,so I know they have an ABS account set up,but not too sure if they still participate in scheme as some dealers opted out.Worth a call though as postage down to you wont save much even with discount on the initial cost
