Well today I went and sorted some wheel issues out.
I have 16 ph1 wheels, 4 have the toyos on them, 5 had no tyres on them and 7 have dodgy tyres, well 1 had a good tyre and 1 is on the chammy.
So I took 5 of the wheels and the ph2 alloy doc gave me to the tyre place.
I got the ph1 with the good tyre pumped up and it showed a rim leak, nothign else so that went on the ph2 alloy.
The rest were all illegal so the tyres were removed.
I am selling 4 of them to doc.
Anyway went to a place I have never been before and the guys a good guy, name is martin, anyway talked to him and he gave me a megane 16 inch alloy and a ford 15 inch alloy! So I need to sell these
Megane alloy
ford alloy
if anyone needs either the megane wheel of the ford puma alloy pm me.
Anyway, the ph2 wheel got the dodgy burst 60 profile tyre off and I set abotu wire brushing it whilst he dealt with someone else. It also had rim leaks.
The sebring tyre on the ph1 alloy was removed and double checked to be fine, so it was put on the ph2 after sealant had been put on the rim. The tyre is from my old blue hatch, good tyre, plenty of life left.
The guy charged me, wait for it, cos I was a nice boy, a fiver! I gave him a tenner considering I got the alloys!
And before all of that Amber and I took the megane for an MOT, after I helped them with an astra exhaust and a calibra went through a test iot was the meganes turn, passed first time. She did buy tyres for it this morning at a price of £112.40!
So the meganes legal for another year, needs the insurance renewed which is a hefty hit in the wallet! |
