Looked at a couple of very tidy options from Axe.

Need to get my father's house sorted first, though. :(
Well, all four (staggered setup, 9.5J & 11J 20”) were significantly cheaper than the one replacement wheel I need…

Probably get the whole lot refurbed, the one that took a good clobbering can be welded back up I think.

Take a screenshot of the picture on your phone and upload that, it’ll be tiny at that point

I wasn't impressed with the frost this morning, so took drastic measures to de-ice the lorry :D

Works a treat, no scrapping, no frozen fingers and one swift wipe of the wipers and ready to hit the road, oh, and in the time to drink my morning coffee.

Mrs RH has been bitten by the tinkering bug... so set out to order a luggage net, which she's accomplished, but also ordered some other bits.

One being a set of Union Flag valve caps, in steel. I'm figuring a small dab of copper grease to prevent them self-bonding in 6 months time...???

Fiat 500 daily. Had to remove half the interior to get at and remove the Bluetooth module. It's tucked behind the nearside rear side panel.
Rear seats out, front and rear seatbelt and a load of trim to gain access.
Pain in the ****** ass.

Washed and vacuumed daughters Pug 207 as it's now fixed (coolant and HG)

Also vacuumed wife's X1, as well as got rid of the tar spots that were on the silver running boards that the cleaner at Car Supermarket dot com looked at and obviously thought, bugga it, that'll do....
Still a few on the doors to do but it's filthy and I'm not washing it until next Sunday.
