Rubbish service that, my mk3 Escort had manual choke and my old mk3 fiesta. I prefer carb engines, took me the best part of a year to get the efi engine running right. It's a nippy little car now though, only 110 bhp but car weighs less than 800kg.
22mm wheel nut covers, greased inside to cover my rusty nuts nuts lol
Do they fit in the wheel nut hole ok?

Yeah, spot on. Tried one to start with, to make sure I could remove them.
Your BBS rims have shallower holes than my Trek rims. I expect they would be more difficult to remove from mine. They look perfect on yours though.

Cheers, I had them on my old Freelander. On the 16" alloys. They come with 2 sizes of removal tools too.

Thanks, this is the kit I brought http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251378275765?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Just take your time when doing it, and good prep, makes for a good finish.

Thanks, will give it a go. I've seen things like this, but always been a bit sceptical. But the finish looks a great improvement.

This is the finish on a 30 year old steering wheel.

2 keeping leaking on the rims, been cleaned up twice now and resealed but still leaking. Have to pump them up every week. Was going to get them refurbished, but a lot of money if they still leak afterwards.

I've used it a few times and normally works well.

They've used proper tyre sealant, still leaks. I don't mind, new rims should look good. Weren't too expensive either, after shopping around. 6mm more clearance too.
I had 1 of my Trek rims leak after my Maxxis 771 were fitted. I had to pump it up weekly for about 6 months. Strangely the leak stopped after I swapped the wheels from side to side. I assume the tyre has bedded in and so stopped leaking.2 keeping leaking on the rims, been cleaned up twice now and resealed but still leaking. Have to pump them up every week.
