*&^%^E$$!! Flat tyre

Jun 04, 2005 27 Replies

That's a very good question Austin. I don't have the details to hand but I'd imagine it covers things like failing to work as described 'on the box' and any damage caused to the tyre by any failure of the product.

Currently around ten pounds per tyre, so it's usually best applied to a new tyre. Apart from the usefulness of preventing punctures and of course the safety aspect, maintaining correct pressure throughout the life of the tyre is quite likely to increase the life of the tyre as well. The service is carried out by franchised providers such as Continental Tyres, Lewis Land Rover in Swansea, Chuker's of Shrewsbury and others.

It'd be handy on the inner wheels on the back of the bus, which are a pain to check. In fact, none of the dual wheels are *easy* to check.

OBLandRover: Just fitted a set of Santana series dampers to the bus. Rear ones look to extend a bit further which may give a bit more axle travel, (hope the brake pipe's long enough...) while the fronts don't extend quite as far. I don't think rear ones will fit on the front, though, I think they don't compress short enough.

I'll see how they go. Might be worth getting some better-quality ones if they work decently.

Did you buy the Transit 4x4? Is that the bus you mention?

nah, some other git beat me to that one. This is an LDV convoy. It does in fact have 4 driven wheels, just they're all on the same axle...

This sounds like a crisis Austin. No 4x4 Transit and you're selling the Disco !

Any plans to get re-Land Rovered ?

not at the moment. I may however get tuits and more importantly money to get the 4x4 sierra back on the road...

Ah! Would that be round 'tuits' per chance ?
