I also had WIM remove and re-sit the tyres, I still had same problem. So a refurb is way to go I think for them.

Just taken mine in for refurb today, total bill will be £245 that's for 4 wheels normal silver late elite style

Same alloys as me, also have feeling YZ250 too? Does appear to affect later Elite alloys more 

No issues with mine which I got from RobG a couple of years back.

One of the MV6 ones is leaky, but not checked if bead.


You can check by dunking it in a (decent sized) water butt

Drove back from Paris yesterday. No problems at all. A very comfortable journey and plenty of space to bring things back.

Got the Sat-Nav working again and put a new CDC in so can now play CD's again. Did try and remove the donut bushes today so I could fit the poly's I have but the old bushes would not move so a job for another day now.

Serviced the trolley... good for another 10k

Crawled under the TD to check the brake pipes before Thursday's MOT. Bugger, middle exhaust section has a small hole in it just before the join to the rear box. Shouldn't moan I suppose, 17 years old, and 130k. Two rear sections on order for tomorrow, and I am gritting my teeth at the fitted cost. Yes I could do it myself, but its one job I prefer to farm out.

100% with you on exhaust work. Pita without a ramp or pit. I only did the front section on mine as no one would give me a price. Only a price "as log as it all goes smoothly sir and no difficulties sir, but it's a 13 year old car sir" yadda yadda yadda. What they basically meant was "please write us a blank cheque sir".

Get a stainless fitted.. no need to worry about the future then as it'll outlast the car

You'll definitely grit your teeth at the price of 1 of those fitted





Anyhoo, today I will be taking our kids to a big aquarium in Cheshire, then hopefully will persuade them to go to the Aviation Viewing Park at Ringway airport so I can watch aircraft take off and land Probably won't happen but I live in hope.....

TD MOT passed, 3 minor advisories.
Brake fluid recommend change(?). I don't think so, its only done 4k since the last one a few months ago.
Play in N/S front track rod end. Hmmm, doubtful, replaced 4k ago.
Rear O/S tracking arm dust cover deteriorated, but not letting dirt in. Agreed.

[05omegav6]

First is probably a stock item on the current favourites list.
Second item could be the beginnings of idler play
Third item is what it is...

Good result all in all

My local chap puts 'headlamp main beam out of alignment' or something. He fails it, says he adjusts the beam (for free) and then passes it. It keeps VOSA happy, apparently.

DVSA these days

On the last MOT on the mig estate we had , the advisory was rear springs corroded ,surely this must apply to virtually every vehicle on the road seems a pointless piece of advice to me
