Hammerite seems to chip easily, anyone used any of these? https://www.frost.co.uk/paints-coating-plating/automotive-paint/chassis-paints.html

The cheapest inspection would be an mot, just pick one the seller doesn’t use, book it in yourself and tell the tester why you’re doing so

The Maclaren F1 road car was sold with Goodyear tyres because they sponsored their F1 race team at the time - the brochures mentioned the Goodyears pedigree in racing etc etc. When you collected your car they gave you a free set of alloys with Michelin tyres because the car performed better on them.....

Subjective - we don't drive the same car on the same road. I never said Toyo was better, plenty have said similar to you, but I've used them all year around and not found a ditch. My commute of 34 miles around trip is rural Cheshire B roads, often with standing water and ungritted in winter at weekends.

That might appear with some red badges on, photographed against a white background for 3 times the price sometime soon...………...

A very subjective topic and depends on many things including, the drivers preference, suspension fitted (brand new uprated - worn out OE), ride height (standard - sump scraping low) and road surfaces (smooth dual carriageway to rutted B roads). My Corrado has 205 Toyo Proxis on standard tired suspension and speedlines. Octavia estate (dog / DIYwagon) has 205 55 16 Uniroyal rainsport TT has 225 40 18 Dunlop Sportmax on tired OE suspension - I like the rim protection I mainly drive on rutted B roads on my commute, non are harsh, but the Octavia is boat like.

I think I levered the ball joint out of the roller, slid the roller along the channel and out. Rolled the new roller down the channel and used pump pliers to press the ball into the new roller, then repeat. Save the best till last and it will hold the regulator in place whilst you work on the other.

Its been a long time since I did mine, the hardest thing was finding the door card screws I seem to remember. Rattling glass is a sign the rollers are worn / dropping out of the channel

The white nylon rollers (2 per side) run in a horizontal track at the bottom of the doors, one of mine on the drivers door (so used most) was in poor condition and falling out of the channel leaving the glass banging around in the door.

Before you refit the door card have you checked the window rollers?

Do you go to the Chester lakes breakfast meets? Any good? https://www.facebook.com/ChesterLakesClassics/

The Vauxhall’s rims are 110 PCD so won’t fit.

Edit, they’re 5 x 110 so won’t fit our cars

Edit, they’re 4 x 110 so won’t fit our cars

I think both 16s (4 and 5 stud) come from the Calibra, 4 cylinder and 6 cylinder models

There's a really funny performance thread on VR6OC on FB - look for a pic of a nice skimmed 12V head, worthy of a chuckle

Just noticed your in Chester, I have vcds and could scan if you think it might help?

One of my fave pics of all time

They should clear both 288mm and 312mm brakes too

A faulty crank sensor gives no spark or fuel injected - the ecu doesn’t know where the engine is in its cycle. If is a dizzy engine take the cap off and look for water ingress. Have a look at the large round multi plug on the engine for ingress and corrosion. After cranking and a non start pull a plug out and see if it’s wet with fuel to confirm the injectors are firing.

The price has jumped up quite a bit

Its quite a famous thread that mods had to tidy a few times as some members tried to buy and others gave opinions as to the price and its value. Its a rare item and they don't come up for sale often
