Have had a vibration, and at speed a real rumble so went for a rear wheel balance today and fortunately the car came with a new wheel and tyre because see photo.
The bent section is further round from where the crack are so I am not sure the two are actually related, but then again shock in one place can result in evidence in another.

Drop it off to me when you come past Chris I’ll see if I can repair it

I swear Chris, if it wasn't for bad luck, you'd have no luck at all!

Three new photos taken with the tyre removed and camera rather than the old iPhone.
No offence Neil but I think I would rather just leave it as an ornament given that it has 3 cracks in it.
RFTs who would have them with alloys?

[goodeggbob]

has this cured the vibration/rumble issue?

Living with a lovely rattle in my exhaust now... Before next year its going to get a new stainless exhaust and a cat for sure. Pretty sure I still have a bit of scraping too. The heatshield might still be getting caught on the prop shaft intermittently possibly? Other than that not done a lot today. My tyres still havent shipped. Ordered them on friday was hoping they'd at least of left the warehouse they were in by now. :/

Don't know yet as it was mad traffic time when I came out the tyre shop and I have a pile of work to get through yet having taken the time out this afternoon for car stuff. I certainly hope so.

[Neilparry]

I’ll do the repairs. It’ll be a good get out of jail spare.
As long as you don’t use rft’s

MOT passed! No advisories so we obviously put it back together properly. Feels good to get the PZ back on the road, now to run it in. Will be driving it home Monday from Ipswich to Oswestry, so need to plan a non motorway route...

[chriskirkham]

Try
A14
A142
A10
A142 again
Bit of B road
A605
A1
A1139
A1 again
A6006
A6
A453
A50
A5006
A500
A51
A530
A525
A41
A495
Bit of B road and done.

Should be a decent drive and polishes off 229 miles of running in.

Enjoy

Quick question - does this u-shaped piece of plastic just un clip or do i have to undo bpolts or screws?

[13Black]

Pull down/out on the top bits and it will rotate down/out.

[johnbb99]

Bloody hell that was easy once you know.

[Ollie]

Checked my oil level since I hadnt checked after filling it to 3/4s after the service I did last friday. Down to the 2nd dot on the stick. Must be nicely circulated now since last friday it was on the top dot. However still getting emulsified oil on the dipstick and I was hoping that would be gone if I give it a good few drives each week.

Also, my drivers side window got stuck again. Definitely going to try some silicone grease and see if that makes a difference or not.

[Bigblueknight3k]

Fixed my drivers door locking was the motor thinking lots of water getting in window seals dripping all over it ???
