Thanks

carrick engineering will do 2 piece rims but for three piece rims , its a send away job ! i had volks cv pro 3 piece rims needing a refurb and it was south every time when asking about. the seals can be got over the internet and i suggest that if you can dissassemble yourself then thats cheaper but the easiest way is get them sent away and redone. sorry to be the bearer of potentially pricey news bud ! there is a place in airdrie that might do this(maybe) sorry plains. its a woman who is the boss and is quite knowledgable . she said £200-300 but i never got round to it as i sold the car and i cant remember if i told her my rears were 3 piece 9" rims....( sorry just remembered about this place).

hi gordon,
how you doing, i had my imprezza wheels done by carrick, verry good job, but limited to colours ie they only have 1 silver if you know what i mean.

btw did i see your number on an ml55 last week on the a77? if so what rims are you running, i have the amg kit on mine and fancy upgrading (or do you have a spare set of 18s??)

I sold the P1 and I've got the ML55 now! The rims are 22" Alessio Wheels. These buses are very greedy on petrol I tell you! I thought I saw you too but wasn't sure if you've changed your toy or not. No spare wheels lying about i'm afraid

P.S. Have you seen my brother's White R33 Skyline yet? (M*** TAB) Now that is an awesome toy!

D Noble

gordon, if the R33 is one of the later ones then yes i have seen it, not up to date on skylines so wouldnt know one end from a datsun cherry(oh how driving a 4x4 brings the snob in one) but it certainly looks like it can shift! saw you in yours in high st today how do you keep it so shiny? mine is a mess but then i never was much into keeping it clean especially with two kids who treat it like their own play room!

Hey Dave

Yes, I use a nice big pair of step ladders to keep the big bus clean. Have you tried cleaning the roof of those things!!!!
My wee one is on the way in the next month so the big bus will become a big play room like yours!!!!!

D Noble

he he, then you will know all about it

i have never waxed the roof of mine!!! but give it a squirt with my power washer! when it sits out at my work you can see a line of muck up the middle like a mohican!

all the best with the impending arrival, and well done on choice of motor, i actually prefer it to the bmw(ok i couldnt afford it once they are speced up) and they are as good off road as the range rover(i had a freebie off road day courtesy of merc)
