It's time to replace my tyres, standard MGB wheels - 165 R14. Both my local tyre shops have offered me Falcon brand (India) in this size, at around £56 each. Has anyone any experience of this make?
I only do about 10 miles a week, and with the probable forthcoming MOT clamp-down on tyre age I may have to discard my new tyres after 3 to 5k miles.
Larry, I have a small 12 volt battery on my A. No need to hack saw or weld, just tweak the cabling. It is an Odyssey PC680. It is small, but packs a punch and I got it because my brother had one on his 2.4L Porsche 911 and it started that OK, and my A has a 2.1L bored engine. It is a sealed battery, so needs no topping up.
It's not cheap but (in the UK) cheaper than 2 6v batteries.
Mark "not an unfailing indicator of the value of the service obtained" - I think that is what Nigel is trying to say, in his own way. But as service obtained and cost are not linked, it also stands to reason that the lowest price is not necessarily the best value. It may be low price because it provides diabolical service!
I think insurance is one of those things which reflects most on ...
remember the value is in what you get for the cost
No no no no no no a million times. The amount spent is absolutely not an unfailing indicator of the value of the service obtained....part of the reason why this country has a massive debt and crap public services...but I won't go there...
What do people do with their hydraulic brake switches? I would much prefer my brake lights to operate nearer the top of the pedal rather than at the bottom and was thinking of fitting a mechanical switch onto the pedal arm itself.
