"Crest Tyres" Bradford.

Got em fitted using a big red cylinder thing to force air into em so they'd seal

Cheers guys At least Kwik Fit actually tried! One of the "Backstreet" places I took it too, just shook their head & said "No, they wont fit"...lazy b*stards! :evil: I'm trying a commercial tyre specialist/back street place in Bradford today that I used to use when I drove 7.5...

Sorry, should have been a bit more specific..

hmmm.

Yesterday I let some coolant out so the level was on max. Drove about 150 miles all seemed ok, but its back up nearly to top this morning. Let it out a...

Cheers.

This is one of the long plastic pipes that goes from the radiator to the engine. The hose thats attached to this pipe goe...

Cheers for the excellent info.

Please excuse my ignorance, but me & my mate are attempting (Bloody broken studs) to replace the down pipe (manifold to silencer) on my 1.6 turbo Diesel (JX engine). The front 1/2 of it had what was left of a steel mesh (in 2 halves) jubilee clipped round the pipe. Anyone tell me what this is fo...
