Hi all, obviously this thread is 10 years old! Are there any updates on where I can buy wheel but covers for mk 3 Saloon? I did recently buy some from ‘the internet’ that said they would fit, but guess what, they didn’t!

Any help/advice would be gratefully received, thank you.

Details where in a club magazine last year as they have developed a tank solution.
Are you a member? Maybe worth joining?

Do you get a ferry voucher to help if you want to get to main land or is it a sensible fee to start with?
Don’t call England the ‘mainland’. The islanders will lynch you!
Isle of Man is a country in its own right. It is the mainland and they definitely defend that fiercely! [emoji23][emoji23 ...

I’m moving to a country where all petrol has no ethanol at all [emoji23]
Extreme solution I know…..

I’ve rebuilt calipers that have sat for 25 years plus easily. I’d take the pistons out and assess them first.

Or I’ve used these ones in the past.

I use a ring spanner, put the half shaft nut on to keep the spanner on and a gentle tap with a hammer and it slides out easily.

Used a new puller and impact wrench. What a difference in time taken and effort needed!

No. The same revs almost exactly.

But did it up the gear ratio where it felt like a whole gear? So first would feel like second and 4th would feel like 5th
No. Nothing like. It’s only a 11% difference but for me it makes enough difference for covering large distances ( 1000 miles done in 24 hours last year [emoji51] )
