Bought these wheels will they fit Help :( 7J X 15 H2 5/112

They are 7J X 15 H2

I believe the offset is 35 and the stud pattern is 5/112.

Also what tyre size do i need, do i need extenders or larger bolts.

all so confusing.

Re: Gears work great but stiff after new bushes

If so that's a lot of work to take it off again. Hopefully I can pack some around it.

Any idea what grease?

Gears work great but stiff after new bushes

Hi I have installed a new gear linkage including all joints. The gear change is really smooth but is stiff when dry. If I go under and spray with some wd40 on the points where the shaft goes through the plastic bushes Its really smooth again. Should I smear some grease over them? If yes what type. C...

Re: Help changed 4 speed bushes now will not move

Thank you very much :)

Its amazing what you can tackle on your own.

That was exactly what happened.

All working well although the gear stick is annoyingly more over to the right now.

Re: Typical - problems with the ruddy cooling system AGAIN

Which flushing liquid do you suggest. I have new pink fluid and therm from BK.

I have the same problem. The van temp goes down when the heater is on but I have the oversized rad from BW fitted but still overheats when heater set to cold and driving at 60.

Re: New radiator and still overheats if heater off

Hi Kevin,

Thanks, I read the open temp but I don't have anything to monitor the water temp other then the kettle.

Is there a clever way of getting water to 87 degrees.

Cheers,

G.

Re: New radiator and still overheats if heater off

Thanks Kev,

How do I test it?

Boil a kettle and then put in boiling water?

Cheers

Re: New radiator and still overheats if heater off

I have a new Wahler 4155.87D thermostat from Brickwerks.

It did not come with a hole in it?

Does it need one and how/where do i do it?

cheers,

G

Re: New radiator and still overheats if heater off

During the incident I was not listening out for the fan as had radio on and i was at panic stations to try and get temp down which i did when i...

I looked in the coolant and it looks a little merky even though it was flushed and new coolent added 6mish ago?. I will check it in the morning, it cou...
