As per title really - anyone recommend a good wheel repair place in the WR11 area? Scuffed a diamond cut rim and trying to decide whether to let the insurance have it or get it done locally and claim back. Having seen the pictures, they don't consider it a candidate for in-situ repair. Makes...

So finally I've found the leak on my rear suspension :banana: Right side bubbling like mad,left side just about. As few on here knows already it's almost impossible to find even reconditioned part. I've managed to find the guy who can fabricate the nipple and weld it back in place. My...

Hi guys I need a bit of help as to what best to do. I bought what I thought was a nice W124 Estate just over a week ago and it turns out to have severely corroded rear subframe mounts. I feel pig sick over it to be honest as I think I allowed myself to be ripped off and I didn't check things...
