Had another tyre put on the Insignia...

Had another tyre put on the Insignia...

Puncture or worn out

[05omegav6]

Apparently a puncture... Went to get it repaired as it had what appeared to be a nail in it... Turned out to be a piece of flint which hadn't gone through no evidence of holes anywhere, but inside inner sidewall was shot.

Ran over some hedge debris on Sunday, and noticed tyre was low, so pumped it back up, been gradually losing pressure since...

Still at £84 fitted, I can't grumble too loudly being 245/35/20s

I know that pain,my Touareg wears 275/40x20 boots and prices can get a little rich for some brands,your's sounded reasonable though

Don't tell CG, but I went for black and round

That'll be new cam cover gaskets then TB?

Yeah. Passenger side as well. Oh goody 

The Bullet needs driver side as well. Double goody.  Both cars LPG'd, just for the extra challenge

Easy jobs.

How to:
Buy parts. Drive up to Nottingham. Drink tea and eat biscuits. Drive home. Post up what a good boy he is. Sorted. 

As Mrs DTM does do an exceedingly good biscuit arrangement for others


I think I have used up too much of their kind hospitality recently  .

Plus the garage is blocked currently 

Yes, although the sub frame is ready to drop once it gets above 4 degrees C....then its pretty easy from then then on in.

Oh, there may be a coolant pipe leaking slightly above the gearbox (will be able to see better soon), have you had to put any coolant in (I noticed some light staining on the bell housing and the coolant level was slightly down)

Once its that hot Mr DTM, you have a ruddy great big extension to build!

It needs to be above 6degC for that......honest

[Marks DTM Calib]

Never had to give it a drop since getting it. If it needs anything else let me know and I'll get it on order. Cheers

Will try to get a pic and send over.....both of the stain and the corroded pipe.

[Jimbob]

Cheers,  header tank has always looked about right too....

is the pipe easily replaceable if needs be?

[EMD]

Fitted 2 led side light bulbs to front lights . Then sorted sticky auto gear selector out 

Found 2p under the centre console

Don't tell CG, but I went for black and round

I did realise that given the price

looks to be given what's stripped out.

This on the Omega, or the other thing we will not mention out of shear embarrassment?

[TheBoy]

Got over 23mpg 

I'll write my lines now.
TB really must learn to try much harder

Also treated it to some petrol, as the fuel light and CID were getting more than slightly annoying
