Bought some Goodyear eagle asymetric 5's from asda online last week and had them fitted today, about £30 odd quid cheaper than the same garage.

Checked the fluid levels on both cars, just the Bear needed some oil to top up the supercharger. It was last changed on 60k, needs to be changed at the next service. Which if this lockdown continues will be in a few years time.

Nice simple 5 minute job after dinner to refit the front subframe braces after repainting them.
Still not got round to swapping the engine loom, but equally the more I think the more I doubt that will fix my cold running issue. Feel like I need to start diagnosing from square 1 with it, just wish I had a sounding board to talk my thinking through with. |

It would, however be reasonable for you to say you had broken down. Any judge would look at the car and say 'ah, it is a Rover. Case dismissed! Quite obviously, the man has head gasket issues'.

Hi Dave. Let us know how they wear. I had some on the Rover V8 SD1 and they seemed to wear out quicker than normal. In fact, I still have a wheel from that car with the XVS tyre still on it. A relic now. A bit like me!!
