Hi everybody, I'm back again after an absence from the board for quite a long time. For those of you who don't remember me I'm the one who used to get all steamed up about tyres!! Good to see so much activity on the board and particularly the successful conclusion of the sill trims exercise, a really worthwhile project. Hopefully soon, I will upload some pictures of my saloon which is still on crossplies!! I have also just refitted the rebuilt starter: the solenoid failed: and that is a job I would not wish on anybody..... I am still nursing badly bruised hands!!! a really rotten horrible job

Welcome back - you should have read the thread on starters first!

Thanks for the welcome. It all looked so easy in the workshop manual. I must admit that it nearly beat me but I knew it had to go back somehow. If only Isacc Newton hadn't invented gravity!!

You have not had the car long then. Which type of crossplys do you prefer. I prefer the look of the Avons

I prefer the Avons to look at but I will have to replace all of them soon due as I am a bit uncomfortable with the age of the tyres, they have been on the car for a long time. I will probably go for the Avons. Yes, Allan I am the RE of the famous thread,it did run for quite a while didn't it!

As I must have said before at least 10 times! the Avon radials fitted to my V8 saloon are way below performance and road holding of the Kumo's on my 3 litre

Phil, I haven't got radials, I've got 6.70 x 15 Avon Turbospeeds and I'm talking about replacing with crossplies!

I know you have not got radials - they do actually do one now which is in my opinon rubbish for the price paid
