Ok so just been into Macif to clear this up and it's not a problem. We can have 18" wheels and whatever tyres we like as long as they are made for the car by a reputable company and meets eu standards. It doesn't have to be land rover approved or factory fitted. So Thumbs Up

Quick question maybe someone can advise on. I want to change the wheels and tyres whilst in the uk, and of course want to keep the originals and bring them back home to France. Will I get all five of them in the back? I guess weight wise it's fine but physical size I'm not sure if I can get them in? As you can see by the photo above, it has the rear forward facing folding seats fitted which reduces space somewhat.

Thanks guys


Just seen this thread. I think you will get your five wheels on the back (I got four 18" Bowlers in, three abreast, one square to the door, in the back of a 110Tdi with room on the top. But you'd have to remove your rear seats. Monsieur Le Grenadier

I need to look on le Bon coin first but I'm not sure I'd get much more for them here than the garage are offering trade in. It's just easier to trade them in really. I don't fancy damaging the interior because of that.

No probs, I'll make sure I keep them when the garage fit the LEDS then Thumbs Up I was silly and didn't ask to keep all the other lights, but I can't imagine I would have got much for them.

Quite right. The last time the British Grenadier was played in France we'd just helped beat Napoleon at Waterloo, hurrah....they'd have been fearing another victory Thumbs Up Monsieur Le Grenadier
