Not cheap but they look like a great option for the D4, I’ve seen great reviews on the LR3/LR4 FB forum. Did you go with Cascadia4x4 or Lensunsolar?Quote:

Both brands recommend using the decal.Quote:

Bent a wheel and destroyed a tyre. Oddly enough the wheel with the lunched tyre is fine and the tyre on the bent wheel is fine.
Can anyone recommend someone north of the river in Perth who could straighten a 19" D3 alloy?

My young bloke had a set of 22 inch alloys from his RX7 reconditioned by Alloy Magic in Wangara a while back. He was happy with the service and results.Quote:

Good idea. I've not seen a lot of the 19" 7 spoke alloys, but I see there's a set for sale in the ACT at the moment, so they're not unicorns.Quote:

We've done hundreds of ks since we've been away without issue. This was a case of me getting pressured from behind and a bit cocky. Too fast for the conditions/pressures.
That sidewall failure is why I went with tyre pressure monitors that have temp in them. If you have the small brakes definately grab a set of cheap 18's.Quote:

A stop off on the way to work at DLR and the diagnosis is a cracked fitting on the injector return line cause a smelly fuel leak. Part ordered and will replace as soon as it arrives. Then after work an unwillingness to start was confirmed as a failed auxiliary battery. Now for the third issue to appear...[bigsad]
