Here is a tip for how to give yourself a hernia by changing a wheel. The secret is to pull upwards, really hard, on a wheel brace. That will do the trick nicely - certainly worked for me.

Apparently, if you would rather avoid all sorts of discomfort and appointments with knife wielding surgeons, only ever push downwards on a wheel brace.

Wish someone had told me that a couple of weeks ago

When I pushed down on the oem brace, the brace sheared off!! 2008 WHITE TDV6

...sorry shouldn't laugh!

The OE tool kit is pretty rubbish for a 2.5 tonne 4x4.

I remember when we got the Stormers delivered, I used the OE tool kit to replace all four wheels. Nearly got a hernia myself (After about 2 hours! ) 06 RRS TDV6 HSE, Java/Ebony, PTI, Running Boards, Privacy, S/C Grille/Vents, Stormers, Tasmods, Black Badge Soon...

Smarticus, sorry I am about to hijack your thread for a minute.

Hello Mr Charles Hurst Park Royal, a week ago, I emailed Andrew about some OEM waterproof seat covers since I haven't had much luck with the dealer here in Melbourne. You have another thread about what influences one to buy a car and the consensus seems to be the dealer's attitude.

Although I live in Australia and am therefore unlikely to buy a car from you in London, my perception would be really improved if I could get an answer to my email.....

Can you help me out with my question?

Cheers

I can't help personally with the enquiry, but will chase your enquiry with Andrew Harding immediately!

Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

It comes to something when you have to get parts from a dealer 12,000 miles away cos the local mob can't/don't.. help! Great job James.

BKHK - out of curiosity for myself can you share what the cost of buying and shipping the seat covers to Melbourne is? 2008 WHITE TDV6

Hi 2nd

They are as follows....not sure about shipping yet but it shouldn't be too bad:

Price: LR005215 Front Seat Covers Aspen Retail = £114.25 + vat

LR005216 Front Seat Covers Sand Retail = £114.25 + vat

LR005224 Rear Seat Covers Aspen Retail = £132.66 + vat

LR005225 Rear Seat Cover Sand Retail = £132.61 + vat


I will go for Sand I think since green and Stornoway doesn't go too well!! 2008 RRS TDV6 Stornoway & Ebony
