Yep, and the final tidying up of my n/s rear lens with camera and, hopefully, the reconnection of the central locking to the boot.
Good job there's no six nations this weeknd!

Thank you for that Richard, went to platinum in Swindon and they wanted £115 per wheel which was a little more than I was expecting.
I just need to find the time to get to bracknell and perhaps pick up a spare set on wheels to use as spares etc.

wheel refurb
Hi Sir WIll,
I have a set of winter wheels for my D3 with 235*50*18 tyres on. If you are looking at a couple of weeks, your welcome to borrow them. S8 style (D3) 10 spoke I think. You would need to check centre bores are OK for a D2. Look at my pictures in an old post. Cheers Richard
