[Paul16V]

Doesnt look like anything major. Looks like its had some sort of repair sometime maybe.

 

[ak16v]

Yes, but a crap one at that, can you see the cracks, thats where the air escapes from

 

[Paul16V]

has it got a slow puncture?

The cracks look tiny. Is it the spare wheel?

could probably fill that little bit and touch up with some paint. Nothin major there mate, wouldnt worry too much.

 

[Adams_16v]

hmmmmm sorry mate im not sure about that one!! anyone know what it is? I thought that it was were a weight had been pulled off or something when i had new tyres on?

is that on the spare i gave you???

btw i miss the wheels, looks mint on ur car :-(

 

[Adams_16v]

did u say air was leaking????

is it the spare? cos the tyres neva went down?

 

[ak16v]

Yeah mate its the spare, was flat when I got home, filled it up but went flat again so I put more air in it and put water over the blemish, and behold BUBBLES!!

 

[BenR]

looks like heat damage.

 

[ak16v]

Looks like its been repair welded and then smoothened out! What you reckon Benr?

 

[BenR]

dont look like a weld and a tig weld on an ally wheel would be fine......

that looks like someones been at it with an acetalene torch when its been inflated.

 

[Adams_16v]

sorry pal, i honestly dont know wtf it is? it does look like heat damage of some sort though!

 

[Paul16V]

someones probably tried to repair it. Its not like a major damage though I wouldnt have though. YOu could get it repaired cheap. Would some of that liquid metal not repair that?

 

[ak16v]

No worries at least that tyres mint, plenty of tread even though its a Marshall

 

[ak16v]

BenR you reckon it can be fixed or is it well and truly buggered?

Sorry Paul just saw your message, so you reckon it can be fixed?

Mate any news on the willy dials?

 

[BenR]

no idea......dunno how bad it is!

soz
