Re: Tyre choice?
I've just fitted Falken 225/60 15s to my 1989 coupe, sourced from Demon Tweeks. These replaced 10 year old Falkens inherited when i bought the car. They work well and are good value..
Re: Tyres
Thanks Paul, I've tracked down a 129 code at the end of the DOT numbers which suggests that it may have been supplied with the car in May 1989. The car only has 21,000 miles on it now so its most likely the original spare. I'll have to ask myself if there is any value in retaining it as part of the ...
Re: Tyres
Paul,

Although old, it has bee...

I'm still trying to put these bits right some months after the car came back. Their refusal to adequately a...
Re: KWE
Yes, they are certainly nice people but guess they must be struggling with cash flow or similar. They have certainly taken on more work than they were able to reasonably look after, which can only lead to challenges. I was certainly surprised at their refusal to give ground on even the most obvious ...
KWE
Has anyone used KWE recently for service or restoration work? Quality of work & guidance seems good on my project but difficulties over customer service and proper communication.. Although still to be evaluated because work over-ran significantly in to the off season but am expecting that quality wi...
