yeah but it didn't take long for them to corrode on once the salt started getting put on the road. that was last winter, still got the same tyres on the back so haven't been able to check them for about a year they've never gone flat and haven't worn excessively so must be at a good pressure.

Think I'll invest in some new tyres soon along with new valves

never use quikfit (train chimps make a better job of things)even if your stuck in the middle of nowhere

dont forget to put the sump plug back in after draining the oil out (my brother did this on his mk 2 race tuned transit)

when fitting an exaugst make sure the idiots who made have cut the slots in it so you can clamp it up

I found this rather dangerous too.. dont know whether its because its relaxing or because you could kick your pedals through the floor whilst trying to control the car etc i wont go into it u know what i mean
