    So when do you find out if they have any stock? i also hate the constant pressurisation on Blackcircles to let some monkey loose on my rims.

    I noticed despatch is 6 days, which suggests that they are coming from Europe, and that stocks are limited. Best be quick. Edit, it`s changed to 2 days since yesterday.

    To sell or to keep, that is the question?

    As a ball park figure, a 182 driven 10k miles a year costs £2k for fuel, and £1k a year for servicing & upkeep, averaged out over 5 years, with zero depreciation. In truth, the only alternative is leasing an EV, which reduces the miles per pound for fuel by 2/3 rds at current prices, with...

    We Don't Talk About Bruno

    Number 1 in the charts, apparently. No idea what this Disney film is about, but it would have been classic timing if Bruno had been named Boris instead.

    'Bargain' set of Sachs....

    If you are going to drive the car, AST`s built to @frayz specs? https://cliotrophy.co.uk/threads/sachs-time-for-a-new-solution.55191/#post-417498 As a museum piece, the Sachs are a must.

    Re: Handling

    Those are the correct later wishbones, but I`d defy you to tell the difference if you had the earlier ones. Think you just need somewhere competent to set the toe.

    Thanks for that. My previous set of Bosch lasted 25k miles over 34 months, but I`ll go for the PIAA next time. Have you had any experience of their bulbs?

    Thermostat Woes

    Replaced what I assume was the original thermostat with a recommended Febi 24028 item, rated at 89c opening. What I took out was in poor shape, though not causing any obvious problem. As summer turned to winter, it became obvious that the engine was not getting up to normal operating...

    I paused to take a look at a 595 Abarth today, clad with 205/40 17 PS4`s, & thought they would not look out of place on a 182/172. Rolling circumference difference is + 15mm or 5 revolutions per kilometre, & + 2.5mm tyre radius, compared with 205/45 16`s , so well within the limits of normal...

    Split rubber steering wheel grips. Age as opposed to miles seems to be their undoing. Digging out the remnants of the originals from the back of the wheel is the secret to a good fitment. £7.99 i6 ones are lasting well, 3 years & 30k miles of use ...
