Good morning guys, does anyone local to me have a rear wheel any condition any size rhat i can borrow to put on my cerb as mine is busted and immobile stuck in ashford ??
Kev
Which Ashford? Kent? Devon? Derbyshire?
If Derbyshire, it should only be a quick jaunt down the A6 to Peter Smith Sports car. I think they should be able to supply you with a wheel without getting it wrong...
Alternatively, you're not that far from Joolz if that's the right Ashford.J_S_G said:

I live 5 mins walk from Tesco's (if it's Park Farm).
Would have leant you one of my wheels so you could limp home !
Never mind, and least you have a replacement (dare I/we ask what you did with the broken one ????)
How come ive not seen you about olly ? seein as your an ashfordian. I left the broken one with the guys that changed the tyre over for me and yes it was park farm actually, was there this morning sorting it out and it was pi**ing hard with rain then the car wouldnt start and after some head scratching and a few simple basic checks i suddenly thought ah there must be a fuel pump inertia cut off switch so traced the wiring back from the pump (now know where the water is getting into the boot) and found it in amongst the relay boxes on the fuel tank, a quick squeeze and VVRRROOOOOMMMMMMM....... YAY.

Apparently there is a place that can repair the Jag big shiny 20" Montreal wheels (if that is what you have got).
Yeah - they have a replaceable external chrome rim that usually gets scuffed first (bl**dy good idea). Like all BBS alloys, they suffer from corrosion (slight bubbling around fixing/stress points) more than you'd like, so that's what I'll be looking to have sorted if anything. But they're all fine for now, and I only know the prices as I was considering buying a cheap XKR and doing it all up myself before I got a quote of £16-18k to have all this work done.

Look on the bright side - if I frig one corner of the Jag up, it's £750 for a wheel + tyre. And that's if I shop around. More like £1k from a dealer.
Bling bling.
Just you wait til the radiator goes.
And the gearbox.
The the radiator again.
Ooops. Sorry, promised I wouldn't tell you!

And 2 weeks later I reply ! (think I've been in a time warp - can't be 2 weeks ?????)
Cerb hasn't been used a great deal since December - lost my job, got a new one about a month later, but pay is AWFUL, so Cerb is only used on rare occasions.... Thats said, it's due a service soon anyway (it's been 10 months), and I've got a lot of spare miles, so it may well be being used a bit more over the next few months.....
Sounds like there are a few of us in/around Ashford - anyone fancy a meet up/drive somewhen ? The roads from Ashford to Rye & back past Dungeness are FANTASTIC !
