    black circles or midland wheels have been cheap for me :)

    Blackcircles give them your postcode & you can choose a local garage to you for delivery & fitting .
    Easy

Wahey, the red is finally on its way to getting sorted. Garage picked her up this morning! Let's hope there is nothing too major!

    No wonder I couldn't find the straps because they have replaced them with that item.

Just checked the MOT history on the red and its failed nearly every other MOT, and every MOT has a massive list of advisories. Eek! Finding it suspicious that the garage I bought it off, put it through a MOT and had no advisories what so ever, even though a week after I got it, I found a bald tyre and a few other issues. Suspecting some backhanding going on...

    Fingers crossed, at least with minis, welding work aside, MOT fails are usually cheap and easy enough to do

    True. Although my blue needs welding and can't find anyone to do it so its abandoned in my compound :( Red has just got a case of lopsidedness and passenger side is rubbing on the wheel...both are going through MOT. Eek.

Got two flats, not sure if its the valves, slow puncture or the tyres? Pumped up last week, dead flat today. What to do?

    Thanks every one. Well one garage said i had porous tyres, another said its the valves. Getting two new ones fitted next week and we will see from there.

    Take the wheel off and stick it in a bath tub and look for any air bubbles escaping?

    My sister's boyfriend and I spent all of christmas day shooting each other with his. I tried booking the nerf arena in coventry for me and a few friends but apparently children aged 22 and over are too old for it :-(

    Dear me! But how long are you going to sit it out for? You should set a time frame and if nothing has been started, I would get it out of there or start taking further action. Maybe ring trading standards? There advice line is useful and great advice. Not sure if you can email them now either but definitely worth your while if only to get some insight how you stand in case.
