new tyres are on their way.. I'm trying to find some Cesaros though so makes more sense to wait and fit the new tyres to those and next time there is a cav breaking down the yard I'll have the rear ARB off it.

...Here is the trick to making the drivers side heater matrix hose; you take a heater matrix hose from tjhe vectra, the one with the almost 180 degree bend (cut the plastic end of), then take the 90 degree matrix -> temp valve on the 1.4/1.6 and join them together like so:

Thanks to Mobby I now have a set of Cesaros. I did intend to have them vapour blasted and take my time painting them but I'm too damn impatient so I just scotched them and lashed them up in some pure white 2K. Its a proper BODGE!
