Hi George I would say you are better off staying with the 17'' wheels,because I assume (rightly or wrongly) you would end up with lower profile 'rubber band' tyres with 19'' wheels ? Higher profile tyres cope better with potholed/uneven road surfaces and the occasional off road excursion and also lo...

Hi George

The various parts have been trickling in over the last 3 days so I will start my front brake 'refresh' as soon as (1) I catch up with other domestic outside jobs and (2) we get a few days of consistent dry weather.The weather up here has been wet wet wet with just an occasional dry day popping up so...

OK have given up trying to source some caliper brackets for the GV - they seem to be available for later models but not ours LOL So I have ordered all the basic parts - Apec Discs and Pads,Apec O/S flexy hose,Blue Print N/S flexy hose - all from https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_ssn=carpartsinmotio...

I just wondered if anybody has seen these or similar banjo bolt...
