Pete Excellent news, looking forward to meeting you and seeing your baby
Cheers Carl

Welcome Kev
I have been using chrome wires for 6 years initially on my 4 and for the past two years on my 5. The cleaning is a bit of a myth. I use auto glym clean wheels, which you spray on and jet wash off and they look great, with no grief.
If you get them balanced by someone who knows what they are doing, the driving experience can be faultless.
As always each to their own

Hi
Why didnt the 5 have a glovebox pull? its a pain on mine to have to have the key in to open, is it possible to fit a pull? I have heard the 4 ones dont fit, anybody overcome this?
I dont have the swith or light fitted on mine, does anyone have these to sell or know where I can get them from.
Cheers Carl

Thanks Guys
Will attempt Tim and Toms advice on Saturday and hopefully all will be well.

Just got the 5 back from her engine rebuild and straight to her MOT. I got an advisory that the rear nearside wheel had too much play, but could be taken up by adjustment.
How do you adjust the bearing on the rear, the front is easy but cant find in any of my books how to do it on the rear.

Thank you guys, really appreciated.

Thanks Ian
Has anybody fitted this bracket to their car and have a photo?
Cheers Carl

Hi
I have aquired a pair of period Lucas spotlights. I use to have spotlights on my 4, which were rear mounted and attached to the grille.
I dont want to mount these through the grille on my 5 unless I have to, I want to keep my front bumper and therefore wandered if any of you guys can help on alternative ways of mounting/fitting the spotlights.
Photos would be great showing any brackets you have made/purchased.

I owned UYF 723F for some time. If you would like to contact me on chrisljwrexham@hotmail.com I may be able to fill you in on some of it's history. Also it would be good to see some photos if you have any.

Unfortynately not Ian, the 5 is awaiting going into a garage as she is burning more oil than petrol.
Cheers Carl

That would be my car then Typhoon

Thats right Kiwi, I had the same problem always catching my rear boxes, so you can put thicker spacers when laden and smaller ones when not, but preventing you grounding your back boxes.
Cheers Carl

Kiwi
Which ever way you go, you can purchase spacers of varying depths to set the rear ride height. Therefore if you are away for the weekend etc and are carrying weight you can add spacers and remove when not. Its a very quick job to add and remove these spacers to suit youre outing.

Good Luck Pete, its a great moment, I hope its smiles all round.

Hi
The sun was out today, so gave the 5 a spin and noticed my tyres are getting close to needing to be changed.
Any reccomendations? I am on chrome wires and so they need to be tubed, 195/65 15

Same question from me, but near Derby

Brasso will do it, a lot of elbow grease, jewellers use it on watch faces

Skinners, excellent quality and fit, although may not have on the shelf and therefore you may have to wait awhile.
Cheers

Really sorry to hear that Jeff, I hope the To--er is feeling really bad if he is in deed a forum member reading this.
Whilst travelling back from Malvern yet another peice of cream enamel flew over my windscreen, you guessed it, from those **** after market bonnet badges. I have sourced some Humbrol cream enamel paint and I am having a go myself.
Cheers Carl
