oh yeah thats another point.... can I buy some ford wheels and fit them with spacers or something or is it other way round on the offsets?? I dont want to waste money buying pug only wheels when i could use them on my other car possibly.

The OZ titans that were originaly on the RS were a 36 offset and needed to get -21mm spacer plates and longer bolts availabe as a kit for around £40.

back from the dead!
just filled up.....
395 miles on 12.7 gallon - i.e. 34mpg round town!!
thats the book figure but thats well gay! and ive not been sitting in traffic either much
ive bought a fuel filter, and ive just won a K&N induction kit on ebay??! forgot id bid on it!! its like a cone filter that goes into the standard airbox with a bit of fettling - hmmm i dont want it to knacker up owt or sound daft, kinda won it by mistake - anyone have one or just have the regular panel type filters? any good?
oh and pug wanted £47 for diagnostics to look at the rev counter for an hour looking at it with no guarrantee of fix thats just to even look... any ideas where else I could take it as it annoys me not having everything working right?

That mpg figure seems very low, does sound like it needs a good service. Are you sure you put 12.7 gallons in btw? You would've had to have been driving on fumes! They only hold about that much in total!

395 miles on a tank I done about 550 mate! And just done 250miles to £20 though i put £10 in and only done about 80miles and light has come on though i have only used the car for a lot of short bursts this week so thats why.
Service the car mate and change the Derv filter!
