The old ones had only done 115,000k with me driving (don't know how new they were when I bought the car) so I am a bit annoyed...

The guy in the tyre shop was blowing them up and I said "38psi please".

"No", he says, "you should be running 50 in all 4".

"Hmmm, what a pity", I replied. "I only had 28 in the front and 38 in the back because that's what the owners manual says - and I only got 115,000 out of those back ones. Guess I made a mistake, huh? Now put 38 in them. You know I will only reset them when I get home."

He wasn't happy.

May be this should be on a tyre thread but we have a sticker on our Disco [300TDI] from the tyre peole who sold tyres to previous owner saying 40 PSI all around.

It depends on your tyre type and the driving you do

Banjo, you could weld togetether two old rims, weld outside of the rim to the outside of the other rim, to make a very good & cheap fireplace yourself. I have seen this done, with another rim, a third one, underneath for a stand.

If necesary weld slug into holes in rim, but of course not into the axle hole. You do put your cooking pot or billy over the axle hole.

Do not know that ozpig fire place, but googled a picture. The one made from a few old rims is cheaper, and works well.

We made a forge for blacksmithing out of an old truck rim, and set it up so it could be used as a BBQ as well-- nfound a round hotlate in a clean up day heap, but never have used this forge, because never got around to getting the bellows for it.

But maybe one day.

With coke for heat blacksmithing in a forge is fun, you can make a numberof things, and is fairly cheap.

they are cheap enough if you have someone to help you repair them.

Today I was told of a guy who got a diesel disco for $500.






Ps. Later I read where you were offered Harry. Driving him would be much more fun.
