    Wheel progress!

    Hi all Wheel are progressing well - tyres are scrap hence overspray. Going for some slightly larger than standard tyres but many have used them apparently in the US without issue: Rears - 295/35/20 (bit more sidewall) Fronts - 255/35/20 And new centre caps to finish off!

    HI All Had a wonderful first 3 months with the QPV but alas, I feel an expensive fix coming on - any advice greatly appreciated. 1) Rumbling/road noise This has started in the last week. At any speed above 40 miles an hour and especially at 80, there is nasty road noise which sounds like a...
