Completely OT and daft but here's mine at 3.45ish pm. It's always 5 minutes fast.
It's definitely NOT a mirror image.

Thank you all for the replies. I will take it that they didn't then.

Now to just find a bumper

Regards

PS. Does anyone have any of the old photos from the old forum of the oldest exported Australian 58MY, I used to have them and can't find them. That, I would have thought, would be more definitive. I'm not convinced that the Dunsfold LR has the right front lights so now questioning their accuracy.

This topic is going round in circles and not one that can be solved here.

We've just had a round of ballot boxing and nothing much seems to have changed.

The next round will be coming soon ...

For now we'll look this topic ...

General Discussion / Re: Tyre ages?
Last post by diffwhine - Today at 01:40 PM
I have a feeling this thread has been worked to the limit and seems to be a subject which has been covered as infinitum...

Bottom line is we all know that to use old tyres is a potential safety concern. The OP asked how to work out how old they were, while clearly aware that they are old stock. Currently the law in the UK does not prohibit the use of old tyres on passenger vehicles, so that is irrelevant. Perhaps it should, but it does not. Presumably therefore the DVSA do not regard this as an issue or high potential risk compared to commercials, coaches and buses where there are strict rules.

Therefore as it stands, if the OP chooses to buy these tyres, a tyre fitter deems them ok and there are no cracks and bulges, currently there is no issue. At your own risk and all that.

Probably best if we lock this thread now and see what other interesting things are going on in the world.
